Current peculiarities of manifest forms of pancreatitis in children
The paper presents the results of studying the pathogenetic and clinical features of the manifest forms of pancreatitis in 33 children. There was a preponderance of adolescent patients, including boys (78.8%), patients with toxic pancreatitis (36.4%). The severe forms of the disease were ascertained to be more characteristic of traumatic and biliary pancreatitis. The frequent absence of typical pain symptomatology with the biochemical disease markers (amylaseuria, amylasemia) being revealed was noted. Hereditary duodenopancreatobiliary diseases and concomitant digestive tract diseases increase the risk of pancreatitis in children and adolescents.
