RESUMO
The aim of this study is to evaluate the strategy of the cystic fibrosis newborn screening (CFNBS) programme in Hungary based on the results of the first year of screening. A combined immunoreactive trypsinogen (IRT) and pancreatitis-associated protein (PAP) CFNBS protocol (IRT/IRT×PAP/IRT) was applied with an IRT-dependent safety net (SN). Out of 88,400 newborns, 256 were tested screen-positive. Fourteen cystic fibrosis (CF) and two cystic fibrosis-positive inconclusive diagnosis (CFSPID) cases were confirmed from the screen-positive cases, and two false-negative cases were diagnosed later. Based on the obtained results, a sensitivity of 88% and a positive predictive value (PPV) of 5.9% were calculated. Following the recognition of false-negative cases, the calculation method of the age-dependent cut-off was changed. In purely biochemical CFNBS protocols, a small protocol change, even after a short period, can have a significant positive impact on the performance. CFNBS should be monitored continuously in order to fine-tune the screening strategy and define the best local practices.
RESUMO
Összefoglaló. A SARS-CoV-2-fertozés ritka gyermekkori szövodménye a sokszervi gyulladás, angol terminológiával paediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome (PIMS). Két vagy több szerv érintettségével járó, súlyos tünetekkel induló betegségrol van szó, amelynek tünetei átfedést mutatnak a Kawasaki-betegséggel, a toxikus sokk szindrómával és a makrofágaktivációs szindrómával. A PIMS-betegek intenzív terápiás osztályon vagy intenzív terápiás háttérrel rendelkezo intézményben kezelendok, ahol biztosítottak a kardiológiai ellátás feltételei is. A szükséges immunterápia a klinikai prezentációtól függ. A jelen közleményben a szerzok a releváns nemzetközi irodalom áttekintését követoen ajánlást tesznek a PIMS diagnosztikai és terápiás algoritmusára. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(17): 652-667. Summary. Pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome (PIMS) is a rare complication of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children. PIMS is a severe condition, involving two or more organ systems. The symptoms overlap with Kawasaki disease, toxic shock syndrome and macrophage activation syndrome. PIMS patients should be treated in an intensive care unit or in an institution with an intensive care background, where cardiological care is also provided. The required specific immunotherapy depends on the clinical presentation. In this paper, after reviewing the relevant international literature, the authors make a recommendation for the diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm for PIMS. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(17): 652-667.
