HLA-DRB1 GENE POLYMORPHISMS IN PEDIATRIC PATIENTS WITH TYPE 1 AUTOIMMUNE HEPATITIS AND TYPE 1 AUTOIMMUNE HEPATITIS OVERLAP SYNDROME WITH AUTOIMMUNE CHOLANGITIS. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31460577 Autoimmune liver disease Arq Gastroenterol. 2019 Aug 13;56(2):146-150. doi: 10.1590/S0004-2803.201900000-29. HLA-DRB1 GENE POLYMORPHISMS IN PEDIATRIC PATIENTS WITH TYPE 1 AUTOIMMUNE HEPATITIS AND TYPE 1 AUTOIMMUNE HEPATITIS OVERLAP SYNDROME WITH AUTOIMMUNE CHOLANGITIS. Nunes MEG1, Rosa DV1, Fagundes EDT2, Ferreira AR2, Miranda DM1, Ferri Liu PM2. Abstract BACKGROUND: Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a rare chronic inflammatory liver disease associated with a loss of immunological tolerance to self-antigens. Susceptibility to AIH is partially determined by the presence of genes related to human leukocyte antigen (HLA), mainly allelic variants of DRB1.

Pediatric non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis: role of endoscopic management in determining long-term outcome https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31468295 Hepatol Int. 2019 Aug 29. doi: 10.1007/s12072-019-09979-8. [Epub ahead of print] Pediatric non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis: role of endoscopic management in determining long-term outcome. Prasad D1, Sen Sarma M2, Yachha SK1, Srivastava A1, Poddar U1. Abstract AIMS: Non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis (NCPF) is a rare cause of pediatric portal hypertension. There is abundant literature in adults but paucity of data in children. We aimed to evaluate and compare the endoscopic and long-term outcomes of children with NCPF.

[Epub ahead of print] Viral hepatitis. Hardikar W1. Abstract Hepatitis viruses A to E can cause abnormal liver function tests in children. Although, overall, they are relatively uncommon in children in Australia, epidemiology diagnosis and treatment modalities for these viruses have evolved over the last decade. This review provides an update on the diagnosis and treatment of viral hepatitis in children. Published on: Jul-2019
Acute onset of autoimmune hepatitis in children and adolescents https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31474443 Autoimmune hepatitis Hepatobiliary Pancreat Dis Int. 2019 Aug 24. pii: S1499-3872(19)30176-6. doi: 10.1016/j.hbpd.2019.08.004. [Epub ahead of print] Acute onset of autoimmune hepatitis in children and adolescents. Smolka V1, Tkachyk O2, Ehrmann J3, Karaskova E2, Zapalka M2, Volejnikova J2. Abstract BACKGROUND: Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a rare progressive liver disease, which manifests as acute hepatitis in 40%-50% of pediatric cases. This refers predominantly to spontaneous exacerbations of previously unrecognized subclinical AIH with laboratory and histological signs of chronic hepatitis, or to acute exacerbations of known chronic disease. Only a few of these patients fulfill criteria for acute liver failure (ALF).

Abstract BACKGROUND: Current knowledge on the clinical features and natural history of childhood primary sclerosing cholangitis - inflammatory bowel disease in Asia is limited. We described the presenting features and natural history of primary sclerosing cholangitis-inflammatory bowel disease seen in a cohort of Southeast Asian children.

Verolet CM1, Pittet LF1, Wildhaber BE2, McLin VA3, Rodriguez M1, Grillet S4, Siegrist CA1,4, Posfay-Barbe KM1. Author information Abstract BACKGROUND: Chickenpox is a highly contagious vaccine-preventable disease that can lead to severe complications, especially in immunocompromised patients. Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) vaccine appears to be safe and immunogenic in pediatric solid organ transplant recipients, but there are few data on the long-term vaccine-induced seroprotection.
