Тиреоидный статус у детей с хроническим гастродуоденитом и сопутствующими атопическими заболеваниями

The aim was to investigate the thyroid status in children with chronic gastroduodenitis in combination with such atopic diseases as bronchial asthma and atopic dermatitis. Materials and мethods. 39 children of pre-pubertal age that have a morphologically confirmed diagnosis of chronic gastroduodenitis-CGD were examined with an ELISA. The children were divided into 2 groups: 1 - a group of 16 children with HGD only; the second is 23 children with CGD and atopy. Results. In both groups, the mean T3, T4, T4cb, TTG levels and the number of patients with normal levels of thyroid hormones in the blood serum were the same. A higher level of antibodies to thyroglobulin was found in patients with CGD and atopy and a higher level of antibodies to thyroid peroxidase in patients with CGD only. The mechanism of the revealed differences requires additional study.
