Background: Ceftriaxone is known to induce reversible precipitations, called billiary sludge or pseudolithiasis in the gall bladder.Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of biliary sludge and factors that contribute to this side effect in children. Methodology: This study was conducted on 50 consecutive children who were admitted at paediatric department of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) for different illness and who received ceftriaxone in different dosage and duration. Ultraso-nography of hepatobiliary system was done before and at the end of therapy. Children who developed biliary sludge, a third ultrasonography was done after one month. Results: Biliary sludge was found in 4 (08%) of 50 children which resolved within 30 days of cessation of therapy. The mean dose and duration of ceftriaxone in these four children were 92.5±9.6 mg/kg/day and 8.0±2.0 days respectively while it was 78.5±5.2 mg/kg/day and 6.1±1.2 days respectively rest 46 children who did not develop biliary sludge (p<0.05). The mean age of children in sludge formation group was 8.3±2.1 years while it was 5.6±1.6 years in the normal group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Biliary sludge was found in older children who got higher doses of ceftriaxone for a longer period and it was reversible in all the studied children.

The aims of this study were to present and discuss ultrasound findings of prenatal fetal cholelithiasis in two cases with different etiology and evolution. Case 1: a pregnant woman from sub-Saharan Africa, suffering from Lyme disease, was treated with ceftriaxone sodium. Six weeks later, biliary sludge associated with polyhydramnios was detected in the fetus and the fetal growth percentile was 14. Emergency caesarean was performed at 36 weeks of gestation due to fetal distress. Biliary sludge persists in the two-and-a-half-year-old child. Case 2: the fetus of a Caucasian woman with normal pregnancy showed multiple cholelithiasis associated with polyhydramnios at 31 weeks of gestation. At 39 weeks and 4 days, cesarean section was performed due to lack of dilation. The biliary disease resolved spontaneously at seven months of age, with no associated abnormalities. In conclusion, prenatal diagnosis of cholelithiasis is straightforward, but prognosis cannot be defined yet. Serious complications do not arise in 70% of cases, but severe diseases may ensue in 20%. Persistence of cholelithiasis after one year of age results in cholelithiasis in childhood and beyond. Biliary sludge is associated with worse prognosis than cholelithiasis when it appears before 28 weeks of gestation.

Tuberculosis In Children

A preliminary inquiry of the Institut National d'Hygiéne (France), based on the follow-up of 5,526 cases of primary tuberculosis in children and adolescents, is reported; 1,425 cases were seen before 1955 and included in the statistical survey concluded in June, 1956. The spontaneous course of 895 patients who received no treatment is analyzed; special emphasis is placed on complications and their relative incidence in the different age groups and forms of primary tuberculosis. Comparative studies of treated and untreated cases were possible only in patients under 15 years of age and in clinically manifest forms of tuberculosis (Types II, III, and IV). These cases represent a total of 1,061 cases; 564 patients received treatment, 497 received no treatment. Findings in the different age groups are analyzed. A bacteriologic inquiry was also made on the problem of contamination with streptomycin- and isoniazid-resistant strains of M. tuberculosis and on secondarily acquired resistance to isoniazid in treated patients. A decrease of more than 80% in the incidence of complications led to the conclusion that routine chemotherapy should be resorted to in clinically manifest primary tuberculosis in children and adolescents. In the case of completely latent primary tuberculosis, however, a definite answer cannot be given as yet. It is the purpose of the future development of the trial to try to answer that question.
