| description | The purpose of the study was to evaluate the clinical and laboratory features of infectious mononucleosis with liver damage in children hospitalized in an infectious diseases hospital.Materials and methods. A comparative retrospective study was conducted from January 2018 to June 2021. 200 Medical records of an inpatient were selected by random sampling. Inclusion criteria: age from 1 to 17 years, clinical presentation of infectious mononucleosis, absence of severe concomitant pathology. All patients underwent a standard laboratory examination, additionally determined the DNA of herpes viruses in the blood by PCR. Depending on the presence of cytolysis syndrome (ALT level > 31 U/l), all patients were divided into 2 groups: children with hepatic manifestations of IMN – 80 patients (40%) and without them – 120 (60%). Statistical analysis of the obtained results was carried out using the statistical program Statistica 8 (USA).Results. Epstein – Barr virus was the cause of the development of IMN clinic in 59% (118/200) of cases of monoinfection and in 14.5% (29/200) in combination with other herpesviruses. All participants in the study had moderate disease. An increase in the level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) above 150 U/L was recorded in 9.5% (19/200) of the examined, no one had more than 1000 U/L, the median was 72.5 (MKR 48–138.5) U/L. Liver damage was more often recorded in children older than 3 years, girls predominated (53.8%, p = 0.017). In patients with liver damage, the following were recorded: moderately severe fever and lymphadenopathy (p < 0.05), hepatosplenomegaly (p < 0.001), lymphocytic leukocytosis (p < 0.05), thrombocytopenia (p < 0.001), atypical mononuclear cells were detected more often (p < 0.001), less often an increase in the level of CRP (p = 0.008).Conclusions. Our study showed that liver damage in IMN is registered in 40% of hospitalized children. Obviously, children with moderate forms of IMN need laboratory and instrumental monitoring of the state of the hepatobiliary system and appropriate correction of therapy. |
