[Discriminant function analysis in the assessment of laboratory values in children with food allergy in acute viral hepatitis B].
The purpose of this investigation was to define the impact of food allergy (FA) in children on the time of normalization of a complex of the indices of a blood biochemical test for bilirubin and enzymes in acute viral hepatitis B (VHB). Discriminant function analysis through the mathematical expression of the combined influence of variables in a complex of the values of a blood biochemical test for bilirubin and enzymes in children with FA who had experienced a mild icteric form of VHB showed the absence of their normalization throughout one-year follow-up after hospital discharge. Among the examinees, there were twenty-five 3-14-year-old children with FA who had experienced a mild icteric form of VHB. About half of them were girls (44%). Blood biochemical tests for bilirubin and enzymes were carried out in both the acute stage of the disease and in convalescence at least 5 times 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after their hospital discharge. The similar laboratory tests (blood biochemical tests for bilirubin and enzymes, marker spectrum to hepatitis virus) were performed in 20 healthy children (a control group).
