[Some pathogenetic mechanisms of growth retardation in enzymopathy of the small intestine in children].
As many as 74 patients with enzymopathy of the small intestine aged 1-7 years were examined. Of these, 41 had coeliac disease, 18 patients presented with the coleiac syndrome having developed in the wake of grave forms of frequent relapses of chronic postinfectious enterocolitis, 15 patients presenting with disaccharidis intolerantis. The control group comprised 15 healthy children at similar ages. Identified in grave forms of intestinal enzymopathy was a somatogenic form of growth inhibition that proved to be more prominent in patients with coeliac disease. Abnormalities in the blood serum content of somatotrophic hormone, thyroid hormones, insulin were detectable with different degree of significance in patients with coeliac disease and intestinal infantilism syndrome.
