NON SPECIFIC MESENTERIC ADENITIS OF FORTY-FIVE CASES IN CHILDHOOD AND REVIEW

Abstract

Mesenteric lymphadenitis is a disease that pediatric surgeons face on a daily basis due to symptoms resembling the symptoms of acute appendicitis. 45 children with abdominal pain were examined for the last 3 years, aged 3 to 18 years, treated non-surgically, and proven laboratory, microbiological and instrumental diagnosis. Mesenteric lymphadenitis is a very common diagnosis in children with suspected acute appendicitis. In previous methods, based solely on age and location, there were many difficulties in identifying the etiology of acute abdominal pain in children. We decided to develop a new systematic classification of acute abdominal pain. Carrying out a clinical and epidemiological analysis of the diseased children with acute surgical diseases in order to establish a pre-operative imaging and laboratory diagnosis, to establish the sensitivity of microbiological markers An overview of the literature on the topic has been made.
