title: [Vitamin A and carotin content in the blood of children with lambliasis-induced cholecystitis].
abstract: The blood vitamin A and carotene content in normal children and the ones suffering from Lambia-induced cholecystitis was studied. In the sick children examinations were made in dynamics before and after administration of antilambliasis drugs and vitamin A ingested in an oil solution. In patients with Lamblia-induced cholecystitis the vitamin A and carotene content was found to be down by comparison with controls, this pointing to a deranged vitamin A and carotene metabolism in the organism of such patients. Upon instituting pathogenetic therapy and keeping the prescrived diet the vitamin A and carotene concentration in all these patients approached the normality.
