| description | The article entitled Perihepatic lymphadenopathy in children
with chronic viral hepatitis(1) is an original paper of
high clinical relevance – viral hepatitis B and C are the
main causes of chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis in children.
Based on ultrasound fi ndings, the authors assessed
the presence of the perihepatic lymph nodes and their morphology
in 49 children with chronic viral hepatitis B and C
(38 and 11 children, respectively). The authors hoped that
this investigation would help establish a new, non-invasive
marker enabling screening examinations to be conducted
in children with chronic viral hepatitis. In adults, a correlation
was found between the activity of hepatitis and the
morphology of the lymph nodes in a US examination, but
such a correlation has, until now, not been reported in children(2–4). The results of the study have a clinically signifi cant
aspect – the loops of the hepatoduodenal ligament are relatively
readily available in a transabdominal examination,
and ultrasonography is an inexpensive and safe method to
be conducted in children. |
