Manal Hamdy El-Sayed 1, Fatma S Elsayed Ebeid, Abdel-Rahman Zekri, Benedetta Massetto, Kathryn Kersey, Fangqiu Zhang, Anuj Gaggar, Walaa Elsayed, Alaa El-Haddad

Abstract

Objectives: In children with hematological malignancies, chronic HCV infection has been associated with more rapid liver disease progression and higher risk of malignancy relapse due to chemotherapy interruption. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of ledipasvir-sofosbuvir for 12 weeks in these patients.

Hyperpigmented patch: an uncommon but early marker of Wilson's disease

Lokesh Tiwari 1, Fadila 2, Arnab Ghorui 2

Abstract

Wilson's disease in childhood could present with features ranging from asymptomatic liver disease to acute liver failure and cirrhosis. Neurological manifestations and psychiatric illness occur more commonly in adults and older children. Skin manifestation with Wilson's disease is not frequently reported in literature but could be an early diagnostic clincher. We present a child with hepatic Wilson's disease and skin hyperpigmentation. We aim to highlight the possible importance of skin lesions as an early marker of Wilson's disease.

Examining the Hepatic Immune System in Children With Liver Disease With Fine Needle Aspiration

Muhammed Yuksel 1 2 3, Burak Demirbaş 4, Özlem Mizikoğlu 1 2, Yildiz Tütüncü 3, Turan Kanmaz 2, Levent Oğuzkurt 4, Cigdem Arikan 1 2 3

Abstract

Objectives: Liver biopsy is the standard in diagnosing liver diseases. Yet, it provides little space to perform comprehensive immune profiling of the liver. Hence, we explored whether fine needle aspirates (FNAs) could be used to elucidate the hepatic immunity in children.
