If we talk about the disease of mesadenitis in children, it should be clarified that it affects mainly the category of patients aged 6 to 13 years. In addition, when diagnosing this pathology, it is possible to determine the chronic foci of infection, in particular, sinusitis, dental caries, tonsillitis, which provoke an allergic predisposition of the body.
So, mesadenitis in children characterizes the inflammatory process of the lymph nodes of the mesentery of the intestine, which can aggravate both acutely and chronically (periodically recur). If we recall the types of pathological process, then there is nonspecific, tuberculosis and pseudotuberculosis. The abnormal course of a familiar disease gives off acute and chronic forms of mesadenitis.
Before proceeding to a productive treatment, it is necessary to diagnose and identify the cause of this pathology. If we talk about pathogenic factors in the progression of the disease, we need to clarify that such are not finally identified. Mesadenitis in children can form as a result of the introduction of a variety of pathogenic microbes into the lymph nodes of the mesentery of the intestine, which leads to the development of non-specific mesadenitis, and tuberculous infections excite tuberculous mesadenitis.
Define the pathogenesis of the disease. It should be noted that mesadenitis in children resembles the acute form of appendicitis in its signs, however, there are characteristic differences. Pain syndrome is located in the navel or to the right of it. In addition, the young patient is very moody and extremely aggressive, and this is not surprising. Intense pains constantly worry the baby, a sharp jump in temperature is also possible, more than 38 ° C. A constant feeling of nausea, often accompanied by vomiting, and cyanosis of the skin. To prevent the progression of mesadenitis disease, treatment should be prescribed immediately after a detailed diagnosis.
When making an accurate diagnosis, leading experts rely on the obtained results of the anamnesis, the prevalence of the tuberculosis process in other organs, a positive Mantoux test, x-ray data and laparoscopy results. When determining tuberculous mesadenitis, it is necessary to completely exclude the possibility of similar diseases, and only then proceed with the appointment of a treatment regimen.
If nevertheless, mesadenitis is diagnosed in children, treatment of acute and chronic forms begins the same way, with the elimination of the main reason that provoked its development. Antibacterial therapy also takes place, however, it is prescribed exclusively for intoxication of the child's body. If, nevertheless, the disease was timely detected, then, most likely, conservative treatment involves physiotherapy, perinephric blockade, cooling of the affected areas and taking a number of medications, and for tuberculosis, anti-TB drugs are also recommended and vitamin therapy is appropriate. In more complex clinical pictures, surgical intervention takes place, the purpose of which is the softening of the lymph nodes, as well as the opening and drainage of the abscess cavity (with a purulent form).
In addition, in order to avoid mesadenitis in children, timely implementation of preventive measures is required. So, it is necessary to regularly visit the dentist and timely treat stomatitis, otitis media, rhinitis, boils and other diseases to the end, as well as monitor the appearance of damage to the oral mucosa and facial skin. Prevention is also necessary for all respiratory viral diseases. It is important to understand that timely treatment productively eliminates the problem and all its clinical manifestations at the root.
