Material and Method:The study is a cross-sectional research which was carried out to seven-year-old children from the 1st grades of primary schools in Sivas city center. Venous serum specimens obtained from the children were tested for anti-HBc Ig G and M, HBsAg, anti-HBs and anti-HCV by using a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (EL‹SA). Results: Of 607 children, 301 (49.6%) were females and 306 (50.4%) were males. The numbers of the children who were anti-HBs (+) were 449 (73.9%), anti-HBs (-) were 158 (26.1%). It was found that the prevalences of HBsAg and HCV were 0.16%. Conclusions: Since the prevalences of HBsAg and HCV were found lower in our study than the expected, we are in the opinion that with successful efforts in the health services, the spread of viral hepatitis in our country can be dropped to the levels of the countries which have low levels.

Electrical injuries are a significant concern in the pediatric population. Our results showed that low voltage and household electricity could cause morbidity and mortality.

ÖzetRefleks sempatetik distrofi (kronik bölgesel ağrı sendromu) çocukluk çağında ve pediatri pratiğinde sık karşılaşılan bir durum değildir (1). Refleks sempatetik distrofi (RSD) lokalize yaygın ağrı, sıklıkla şişlik, renk değişikliği, trofik değişiklikler ve vasomotor bozukluklar gibi otonomik anormalliklerle karakterize bir hastalık-tır. Etiyolojisi tam olarak aydınlatılamamıştır. Hastalık kısmi olarak hasara uğra-yan sinir tarafından innerve edilen bir alanda gelişir. Bu yazıda, çocukluk çağında nadir görülen refleks sempatetik distrofili iki kız hasta klinik ve laboratuar bulgularıyla literatür eşliğinde tartışılmıştır. Anahtar KelimelerRefleks Sempetatik Distrofi; Bölgesel Ağrı Sendromu Abstract Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (chronic regional pain syndrome) isn't frequently encountered in practical pediatrics and childhood. Reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome (RSD) is a disorder characterized by widespread localized pain, often along with swelling, discoloration, trophic changes and autonomic abnormalities such as vasomotor disorders. Its etio-pathogenesis hasn't been completely determined. The disease can form in an area innerved by a partially damaged nerve and usually follows minor injury or trauma. In this paper, two girl patients with reflex sympathetic dystrophy are discussed along with the laboratory and clinic finding by accompaniment the literature as it is rarely seen in childhood.
