Diabetes in children

clinicalpediatric — Sat, 23 May 2009 18:41:15 +0000

Type 1 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes in children: 90-95 per cent of under 16s with diabetes have this type.

It is caused by the inability of the pancreas to produce insulin.

Type 1 diabetes is classified as an autoimmune disease, meaning a condition in which the body’s immune system ‘attacks’ one of the body’s own tissues or organs.

In Type 1 diabetes it’s the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas that are destroyed.

How common is it?

Childhood diabetes isn’t common, but there are marked variations around the world:

in England and Wales 17 children per 100,000 develop diabetes each year
in Scotland the figure is 25 per 100,000
in Finland it’s 43 per 100,000
in Japan it’s 3 per 100,000.

The last 30 years has seen a threefold increase in the number of cases of childhood diabetes.

In Europe and America, Type 2 diabetes has been seen for the first time in young people. This is probably in part caused by the increasing trend towards obesity in our society.

But obesity doesn’t explain the increase in the numbers of Type 1 diabetes in children – who make up the majority of new cases.

What causes childhood diabetes?

As with adults, the cause of childhood diabetes is not understood. It probably involves a combination of genes and environmental triggers.

The majority of children who develop Type 1 don’t have a family history of diabetes.

Symptoms

The main symptoms are the same as in adults. They tend to come on over a few weeks:

thirst
weight loss
tiredness
frequent urination.

Symptoms that are more typical for children include:

tummy pains

Sometimes diabetic acidosis occurs before diabetes is diagnosed, although this happens less often in the UK due to better awareness of the symptoms to look out for.

Doctors should consider the possibility of diabetes in any child who has an otherwise unexplained history of illness or tummy pains for a few weeks.

If diabetes is diagnosed, your child should be referred to the regional specialist in childhood diabetes.

How is diabetes treated in children?

The specialised nature of managing childhood diabetes means that most children are cared for by the hospital rather than by their GP.

Most children with diabetes need insulin treatment. If this is the case, your child will need an individual insulin routine, which will be planned with the diabetes team.

Most now use frequent daily dosage regimes of fast-acting insulin during the day and slow-acting insulin at night.
Very small children normally don’t need an injection at night, but will need one as they grow older.
Increasing numbers of older children use continuous insulin pumps.

Often in the first year after diagnosis, your child may need only a small dose of insulin. This is referred to as ‘the honeymoon period’.

As well as insulin treatment, good glucose control and avoidance of ‘hypos’ (low blood glucose attacks) is important. This is because many of the complications of diabetes increase with the length of time diabetes has been present.

Living with diabetes can put families under considerable strain, so access to backup support is crucial. This may be from your GP, the hospital team or social services.

Your child and diabetes

Children bring their own problems in relation to:

diet restrictions

activity levels

compliance with instructions.

Your family and your child’s medical team can help you through difficult times.

Understanding all the different aspects of diabetes and its treatment requires patience, but will benefit your child and family life.

The diabetes team at the hospital can help you with the list below.

Learn how to administer insulin injections. Insulin is usually injected into the skin over the abdomen or the thighs.
Know the symptoms of low blood glucose and diabetic acidosis and what to do about them.
Make sure glucose is always available.
Measure blood glucose levels and teach your child how to do this as soon as they are old enough.
Teach your child how to self-administer insulin injections as soon as they are old enough – around the age of nine is typical.
See the doctor on a regular basis, and particularly if your child becomes ill for any reason – treatment is likely to need adjusting.
Inform the school and friends about the symptoms of low blood glucose and what to do about them.
Contact your local diabetes association for help and support.

Diet

Diet guidelines

Current recommendations for children with diabetes:

three main meals

two to three snacks

the whole family eats the same meals.

A trained dietician is usually one of the members of the hospital diabetes team.

It’s important to give your child a healthy balanced diet that is high in fibre and carbohydrates.

A healthy diet is the same for everyone, whether or not they have diabetes.

How much your child should eat depends on age and weight. The dietician and parents should determine this together.

Sweets are no longer off limits because the ‘diabetic diet’ is now a relic of the past.

Once your child gets to know how her body responds to eating and taking insulin, sweets in moderation are possible – accompanied by the appropriate dose of insulin.

Physical activity

Physical activity is important for children with diabetes, who should try to exercise every day.

Physical activity lowers the blood sugar level, so if your child takes insulin, she may need to reduce the dose.

This is because a combination of too much insulin and exercise can lower the blood sugar level and lead to hypos. To counter this, your child should always carry sugar.

Physical activity also affects how much your child can eat. Before your child exercises or plays sport, give extra bread, juice or other carbohydrates.

In the long term

A child who develops diabetes will live with the condition longer than someone who develops diabetes in adulthood.

The longer diabetes is present, the higher the risk of long-term complications such as those affecting the eyes and kidneys.

These can start after puberty, but are usually a concern only in later life.

Regular checkups for late-stage complications begin around the age of nine. From then on, this checkup is done every year

HIV/AIDS Misdiagnosed

clinicalpediatric — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 23:04:00 +0000

HIV/AIDS misdiagnosed as another condition:

Sometimes a physician may misdiagnose HIV/AIDS incorrectly as another condition when the correct diagnosis is HIV/AIDS. The following list of conditions have been mentioned in sources as conditions that may be a misdiagnosis of HIV/AIDS.

Other causes of weight loss
Other causes of fatigue
depression – because of fatigue symptoms
dementia – HIV can be misdiagnosed as dementia in older adults
Alzheimer’s disease – because of dementia
Natural aging – in older adults

TopCommon Misdiagnoses and HIV/AIDS

Chronic lung diseases hard to diagnose: Some of the chronic lung diseases are difficult to diagnose. Even the well-knowns conditions such as asthma or lung cancer often fail to be diagnosed early. Some of the chronic lung diseases with diagnostic difficulties include asthma (perhaps surprisingly), COPD, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, mesothelioma, smoker’s cough, AIDS-related respiratory conditions (see AIDS), chronic pneumonia, and other respiratory diseases. Rare possibilities include diseases like psittacosis (bird-related lung infection). See other types of chronic lung diseases.

Painful throat- look for infectious mononucleosis: Infectious mononucleosis must be considered in 15- 25 year old patients presenting with a painful throat. The patient presents with slow onset of malaise, fever, headache sore throat and rash. It can be misdiagnosed as HIV primary infection, tonsillitis, viral hepatitis and leukaemia. Paul Bunnell test is one of the important lab tests commonly done along with white cell count and blood smear. There is no specific treatment and supportive measures will suffice. It usually runs an uncomplicated course.

COMPLICATION HIV-AIDS

clinicalpediatric — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 22:58:52 +0000

Complications

HIV infection weakens your immune system, making you highly susceptible to a large number of bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic infections. You may also be vulnerable to certain types of cancers. But treatment with anti-retroviral drugs has markedly decreased the number of opportunistic infections and cancers affecting people with HIV. It’s now more likely these infections will occur in people who have not had treatment.

Bacterial infections

Bacterial pneumonia. Dozens of types of bacteria can cause bacterial pneumonia, which may develop on its own or after you’ve had an upper respiratory infection such as a cold or the flu.
Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC). This infection is caused by a group of mycobacteria referred to by a single name — MAC. The mycobacteria normally cause an infection of the respiratory tract. But if you have advanced HIV infection and your CD4 lymphocyte count is less than 50, you’re more likely to develop a systemic infection that can affect almost any internal organ, including your bone marrow, liver or spleen. MAC causes nonspecific symptoms such as fever, night sweats, weight loss, stomach pain and diarrhea.
Tuberculosis (TB). In resource-poor nations, TB is the most common opportunistic infection associated with HIV and a leading cause of death among people living with AIDS. Millions of people are currently infected with both HIV and tuberculosis, and many experts consider the two diseases twin epidemics. That’s because HIV/AIDS and TB have a deadly symbiotic relationship, in which each fuels the progress of the other. Having HIV makes you more susceptible to TB and far more likely to progress from dormant to active HIV infection. At the same time, TB increases the rate at which the AIDS virus replicates. What’s more, TB often strikes people with HIV years before other problems associated with HIV develop. One of the first indications of HIV infection may be the sudden onset of TB — often in a site outside the lungs. If you’re HIV-positive, you should have a simple skin test for TB early in your medical care. If the test is positive, you’ll also need a chest X-ray and other appropriate tests to make sure you don’t have an active infection. If your TB isn’t active, there are treatments to prevent it from becoming active. TB is more worrisome than many other opportunistic infections because it’s highly contagious. Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, in which the disease resists treatment with traditional antibiotics, is of particular concern to people with HIV/AIDS.
Salmonellosis. You contract this bacterial infection from contaminated food or water. Symptoms include severe diarrhea, fever, chills, abdominal pain and, occasionally, vomiting. Although anyone exposed to salmonella bacteria can become sick, salmonellosis is far more common in people who are HIV-positive. You can reduce your risk by washing your hands carefully after handling food and animals and by cooking meat and eggs thoroughly.
Bacillary angiomatosis. This infection, caused by Bartonella henselae bacteria, first appears as purplish to bright red patches on your skin. It often resembles Kaposi’s sarcoma, but it can cause disease in other parts of your body, including your liver and spleen.

Viral infections

Cytomegalovirus (CMV). This common herpesvirus is transmitted in body fluids such as saliva, blood, urine, semen and breast milk. But a healthy immune system inactivates the virus, and it remains dormant in your body. If your immune system weakens, the virus resurfaces, causing damage to your eyes, digestive tract, lungs or other organs. Most commonly, CMV causes infection and inflammation of your retina (CMV retinitis). If not treated, CMV retinitis can lead to blindness.
Viral hepatitis. Viral hepatitis is a viral infection of the liver. Signs and symptoms include yellowing of your skin and the whites of your eyes (jaundice), fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite and diarrhea. There are several types of viral hepatitis, but the most common are hepatitis A, B and C. Hepatitis B and C can lead to persistent or chronic infection and put you at risk of long-term complications such as cirrhosis or liver cancer. If you are HIV-positive and also have hepatitis, you may be more likely to develop liver toxicity from your medications.
Herpes simplex virus (HSV). HSV, which usually causes genital herpes, may be transmitted during unprotected anal or vaginal sex. Initial symptoms include pain or irritated skin in the genital area. Later, sores that ooze and bleed erupt on the genitals, buttocks and anus. Although these sores eventually heal, the virus periodically reappears, causing the same symptoms. If you have HIV, your skin infection is likely to be more severe than it would be in people who don’t have HIV, and the sores may take longer to heal. Systemic symptoms may also be more severe. Although the herpes virus isn’t life-threatening in adults, it may cause brain damage and blindness.
Human papillomavirus (HPV). This is one of the most common causes of sexually transmitted disease. Some types of this virus cause common warts. Other types cause warts on the genitals. If you’re HIV-positive, you’re especially susceptible to infection with HPV and more prone to recurrent infections. HPV infection is especially serious because it significantly increases a woman’s risk of cervical cancer. Infection with both HPV and HIV increases a woman’s risk even further — cervical cancer seems to occur more often and more aggressively in women who are HIV-positive. In 2006, the Food and Drug Administration approved the first vaccine to offer protection from the most dangerous types of HPV. The vaccine is most effective when given to girls before they become sexually active, but it also provides protection for sexually active women age 26 and younger. If you are not a candidate for the vaccine, are HIV-positive or have unprotected sex with more than one partner, you should have a Pap test — a test that examines cells taken from the cervix — every year to check for cervical cancer, HPV and other sexually transmitted diseases. Anyone who engages in anal sex should be tested for anal cancer because HPV increases the risk of this type of cancer in both men and women.
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). PML is an extremely serious brain infection caused by the human polyomavirus JC virus. Signs and symptoms vary and may include speech problems, weakness on one side of the body, loss of vision in one eye, or numbness in one arm or leg. PML usually occurs only when your immune system has been severely damaged.

Fungal infections

Candidiasis. Candidiasis is a common HIV-related infection. It causes inflammation and a thick white coating on the mucous membranes of your mouth, tongue (thrush), esophagus (Candida esophagitis) or vagina. Children may have especially severe symptoms in the mouth or esophagus, which can make eating painful and difficult.
Cryptococcal meningitis. Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes and fluid surrounding your brain and spinal cord (meninges). Cryptococcal meningitis is a common central nervous system infection associated with HIV, caused by a fungus that is present in soil. It may also be associated with bird or bat droppings. Symptoms include headache, high fever, a stiff neck and sensitivity to light. Cryptococcal meningitis can be successfully treated with antifungal medications, but early treatment is essential. Meningitis is a serious disease that can cause severe complications or prove fatal in a short period of time. Once you’ve had cryptococcal meningitis, you’ll need to be on long-term medication to prevent a recurrence.

Parasitic infections

Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP). Although anti-retroviral drugs have helped reduce the number of cases of PCP, it remains one of the most common opportunistic infections affecting people with AIDS in the United States. PCP attacks the lungs, making it difficult to breathe. Signs and symptoms include a cough that doesn’t go away, fever and trouble breathing.
Toxoplasmosis. This potentially deadly infection is caused by Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite spread primarily by cats. Infected cats pass the parasites in their stool, and the parasites may then spread to other animals. Humans generally contract toxoplasmosis by touching their mouths with their hands after changing cat litter or by eating raw or undercooked meat, especially pork, lamb and venison. Once you’re infected, the parasites can spread to every organ in your body, including your heart, eyes and lungs. For many people with AIDS, toxoplasmosis leads to encephalitis, an infection of the brain. Signs and symptoms may include disorientation, seizures, and difficulty walking or speaking.
Cryptosporidiosis. This infection is caused by an intestinal parasite that’s commonly found in animals. You contract cryptosporidiosis when you ingest contaminated food or water. The parasite grows in your intestines and bile ducts, leading to severe, chronic diarrhea in people with AIDS.

Cancers

Kaposi’s sarcoma. Kaposi’s sarcoma is a tumor of the blood vessel walls. Although rare in people not infected with HIV, it’s common in HIV-positive people. Kaposi’s sarcoma usually appears as pink, red or purple lesions on the skin and mouth. In people with darker skin, the lesions may look dark brown or black. Kaposi’s sarcoma can also affect the internal organs, including the digestive tract and lungs. Researchers are testing new combinations of the chemotherapy drugs currently used to treat Kaposi’s sarcoma as well as new ways of delivering those medications. What’s more, as with most opportunistic infections associated with AIDS, the use of anti-retrovirals has reduced the incidence of this cancer and has even reduced the lesions in people already affected.
Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. This cancer originates in lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. Lymphocytes are concentrated in your bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen, digestive tract and skin. Although lymphomas can start in other organs, they usually begin in your lymph nodes. The most common early sign is painless swelling of the lymph nodes in your neck, armpit or groin.

Other complications

Wasting syndrome. Aggressive treatment regimens have reduced the number of cases of wasting syndrome, but it does still affect many people with AIDS. It is defined as a loss of at least 10 percent of body weight and is often accompanied by diarrhea, chronic weakness and fever.
Neurological complications. Although AIDS doesn’t appear to infect the nerve cells, it can still cause neurological symptoms such as confusion, forgetfulness, changes in behavior, depression, anxiety and trouble walking. One of the most common neurological complications is AIDS dementia complex, which leads to behavioral changes and diminished mental functioning. It’s best treated with aggressive anti-retroviral medications.
