| Summary: | Objective: to examine the status of digestion and the efficiency of correction of its disorders in infants with food intolerance. Patients and methods. We observed 40 infants (from 6 months to 3 years of life) with food intolerance, including 14 children with gastrointestinal food allergy, 26 - with non-allergic food intolerance caused by organic or functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. Clinical and paraclinical studies (clinical observations, stool test, ultrasound examination) were performed during the treatment. Results. All children had clinical manifestations of malnutrition caused by exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, as indicated by the corresponding clinical signs and symptoms of maldigestion according to coprogram parameters. When using pancreatin-contaning enzyme preparation Ermital 10 000 in the combination treatment of infants with food intolerance, a significant clinical effect has been observed in almost 90 % of children. In 77.5 % of infants, coprogram parameters were completely normal on the 14th day of treatment. Conclusions. In the pathogenesis of malnutrition of children with food intolerance, essential role is played by the exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, making inclusion of pancreatin-contaning enzyme preparation in the therapy pathogenetically reasonable. High clinical efficacy of Ermital 10 000, no side effects allow to recommend it for use in young children. |
