Tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome (TINU) is a rare disease defined by a combination of different abnormalities, tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis. We describe an 11-year-old boy who got sick with the Covid-19 disease with positive outcome and after 2 weeks developed a complication – tubulointerstitial nephritis with pain in the abdominal cavity, loss of appetite, weakness and low-grade fever with further subsequent attachment of anterior uveitis. Laboratory indicators corresponded to renal insufficiency of tubular origin. Ophthalmological examination conducted against the background of redness of both eyes, photophobia, pain in the eyeball area and decreased vision confirmed bilateral uveitis. Analysis showed high levels of La/SS-B, anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG with confirmed the suspicion of post-covid TINU syndrome. This case showed a good response to steroid therapy with long-term remission of nephritis and less clinical efficacy in the treatment of uveitis. Special attention should be paid to the occurrence of such a rare syndrome at an early stage after recovery from the Covid-19 disease.
The aim: To investigate the reaction of the bronchi to inhalation of salbutamol in children with different severity of bronchial asthma under the conditions of speleotherapy. Materials and methods: 40 children aged 6-15 years were examined, 20 of them had an intermittent course of the disease, 20 had a mild course, and the children were in the inter-relapse period. Determining the function of external respiration (FER) with a pharmaco-functional test (PFT) with salbutamol was carried out in the dynamics of observation before and after treatment and compared with the indicators of 40 healthy children. Speleotherapy was performed based on the children’s department of the Ukrainian Allergological Hospital of the village Solotvino. Results: A decrease in increased bronchial tone and restoration of bronchial patency at all levels of the bronchi in all patients with an intermittent course of the disease and a partial decrease in bronchial hyperreactivity with the improvement of bronchial patency in children with a mild course of bronchial asthma under the influence of speleotherapy was established. Conclusions: Thus, speleotherapy contributes to a positive reaction of the bronchi to inhalation of salbutamol, which is reflected in the normalization of disturbed bronchial tone and the restoration of bronchial patency at all levels of the bronchi, in all patients with an intermittent course and partially with a mild course of the disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
