of pains are caused by psychogenic factors, so such patients demand specialized psychological and psychotherapeutic medical care. The aim of this study was to establish the association between relapsing abdominal pain in children with emotional disturbances and social environment in development of this disease. The study included 2 groups of patients — with and without relapsing abdominal pain, 100 children in each group. During the study the authors used the clinical method of psychiatric interviewing, the modified method of E. G. Eidemiller’s and V. V. Justitskis’s «Standard family condition», A. J. Vargi’s and V. V. Stolin’s questionnaire of the parental care. It was
shown, that 88% of children with relapsing abdominal pain had complaints on mental health: fatigability (61%), headaches (62%), sleep disturbances (33%), anxiety (46%), disturbances of mood (19%). The most significant psychogenies are stress factors related to school. Relapsing abdominal pain can also be caused by parental deprivation. Therefore, 65% of children with abdominal pain need specialized psychological or psychotherapeutic medical care.

As it was reported by World Health Organization, the annual number of deaths caused by pneumococci reaches 1,6 million people including 700 thousand of children of 0–5 years old. Pneumococcal meningitis is one of the most severe manifestations of pneumococcal infection. S. pneumoniae keeps one of the leading positions in aetiological structure of bacterial meningitis. Data on serotypes distribution of pneumococci in children of the early age in the Russian Federation are limited. In this study serotypes of pneumococci from pediatric patients with pneumococcal meningitis (children aged 0–7 years, n =35) isolated in 1981–2010 in Moscow were identified. Screening for sensitivity of strains to penicillin was performed, as well as molecular typing by MLST approach. The most frequent serotypes causing pneumococcal meningitis in children aged 0–7 years were 19F, 7F, 14 and 1. Most of MDR-strains were collected in 2007–2009. Among MDR-strains and those demonstrating increased resistance to antibiotics, several new allelic patterns were described.
higher risk of severe course of the disease, than common population of children at the age less than 2 years old. Palivizumab is used
efficiently to prevent this infection. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of the costs on palivizumab in preterm children
in the Russian Federation. The assessment was based on meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials. According to the World Health organization recommendations, the acceptable value of the variable «costs/efficacy» must not be higher than threefold of the gross domestic product per person. On the assumption of this fact, the coefficient «costs/efficacy» for the Russian Federation according to the 2011 year results must not be higher than 1140 thousand rubles per 1 extra year of life. Analysis from the position of health care system shows, that coefficient «costs/efficacy» with palivazumab usage in children with gestation age from 28 to 32 weeks ranges
from 594,4 to 1030,4 thousand roubles per 1 extra year of life when starting the prophylaxis during first 6 month of life. Under the social perspective of the study (accounting for direct and indirect costs) the coefficient «costs/efficacy» decreases to 515,8–951,8 thousands roubles per 1 extra year of life. Thereby, nowadays the prophylaxis of severe respiratory cyncytial infection with palivazumab is acceptable according to the economical point of view in preterm children with the gestation age 32 weeks and less when starting during first 6 months of life.
alimentary-dependent diseases at every age stage. Deficiency of vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients, gradually progressing against the background of imbalanced diet, leads to development of multisystem disorder, which then can become chronic. It is important that paediatricians pay great attention to supplementation in children’s nourishment of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which have significant influence on visual apparatus, intellectual development and different organs and systems functions. The easing of the adaptation syndrome at the beginning of school education and supplementation of attention deficit can be achieved by the courses of vitamin complexes PIKOVIT, which demonstrated high efficiency and safety even in allergic disorders and are recommended by the specialists of Moscow Scientific Centre of Children Health.
