Diseases of children (pediatrics)

Paroxysmal tachycardia in children

Paroxysmal tachycardia is a heart rhythm disorder that manifests itself in sudden attacks of palpitations with specific electrocardiographic manifestations (heart rate over 150-160 beats per minute in older children and over 200 beats per minute in younger children), lasting from several minutes to several hours.

Acute vascular insufficiency in children

Vascular insufficiency is a clinical syndrome in which there is a discrepancy between the BCC and the volume of the vascular bed. In this regard, vascular insufficiency may occur due to a decrease in the BCC (hypovolemic or circulatory type of vascular insufficiency) and due to an increase in the volume of the vascular bed (vascular type of vascular insufficiency), as well as as a result of a combination of these factors (combined type of vascular insufficiency).

Acute heart failure in children

Acute heart failure in children is a clinical syndrome characterized by a sudden disruption of systemic blood flow as a result of decreased myocardial contractility. Acute heart failure may occur as a complication of infectious-toxic and allergic diseases, acute exogenous poisoning, myocarditis, cardiac arrhythmia, and also with rapid decompensation of chronic heart failure, usually in children with congenital and acquired heart defects, cardiomyopathy, and arterial hypertension.

Intestinal parasitoses

Intestinal parasitoses are a group of diseases caused by parasitism of helminths and protozoa in the intestines. Intestinal parasitoses are very common in children, with the peak incidence occurring between the ages of 7 and 12.

Chronic nonspecific enterocolitis

Chronic nonspecific enterocolitis is an inflammatory-dystrophic lesion of the mucous membrane of the small and large intestine. The frequency of chronic nonspecific enterocolitis among all diseases of the digestive organs in children is about 27%. Lesions of the small and large intestine in children are often combined.

Colonic dyskinesia

Dyskinesia of the colon is a functional disease of the colon, characterized by a violation of its motor function in the absence of organic changes. The most widely used term abroad to denote functional pathology of the colon is "irritable bowel syndrome".

Chronic hepatitis in children

Chronic hepatitis is a chronic polyetiological inflammatory-dystrophic-proliferative liver lesion without disruption of its lobular structure. According to WHO, about 2 billion people in the world are infected with the hepatitis B virus, of which more than 400 million are chronic carriers of this infection. In 10-25% of cases, chronic carriage of the hepatitis B virus develops into severe liver disease. In cases of congenital hepatitis B, chronicity of the disease occurs in 90% of cases.

Cirrhosis of the liver in children

Cirrhosis is an anatomical concept that implies the reorganization of the organ structure due to the development of fibrosis and regeneration nodules. Disorganization of the lobules and vascular triads of the liver leads to portal hypertension, the development of extra- and intrahepatic portocaval anastomoses, and a deficiency in the blood supply to the nodules. From a clinical point of view, cirrhosis is a chronic diffuse liver lesion with the proliferation of non-functional connective tissue.

Chronic viral hepatitis in children

Chronic viral hepatitis is a disease caused by hepatotropic viruses with parenteral infection, accompanied by hepatosplenic syndrome, increased activity of liver enzymes and long-term persistence of the causative viruses.

Gallstone disease in children

Gallstone disease is a dystrophic-dysmetabolic disease characterized by the formation of stones in the gallbladder or bile ducts. Gallstone disease in children is a multifactorial disease accompanied by the formation of stones in the gallbladder and/or bile ducts. ICD-10 codes.
