Diseases that cause acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) often progress rapidly, thus may cause life threatening complications, therefore, their diagnosis and cure are important. This study was carried out to investigate the causes of acute generalized weakness in children referred to Amirkola Children's Hospital, in Babol, Iran.
In this case series, the epidemiological causes of the disease and clinical features of 15 cases with acute generalized weakness from April 2005 to September 2010 were evaluated. The data were collected and analyzed.
The mean age of cases was 4.7±3.5 years. The male/female ratio was 2. Twenty cases had Guillain-Barre syndrome, two with myositis and one with periodic hyperkalemic paralysis.
Guillain-Barre syndrome is the most common cause of AFP in children admitted due to acute generalized weakness in Amirkola Children's Hospital.
导致急性弛缓性麻痹(AFP)的疾病通常进展迅速,因此可能引发危及生命的并发症,所以其诊断和治疗至关重要。本研究旨在调查转诊至伊朗巴博勒市阿米科拉儿童医院的儿童急性全身无力的病因。
在这个病例系列中,对2005年4月至2010年9月期间15例急性全身无力患儿的疾病流行病学病因和临床特征进行了评估。收集并分析了数据。
病例的平均年龄为4.7±3.5岁。男女比例为2。20例患有格林-巴利综合征,2例患有肌炎,1例患有周期性高钾性麻痹。
在阿米科拉儿童医院因急性全身无力入院的儿童中,格林-巴利综合征是AFP最常见的病因。
