Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical features of nephrotic syndrome combined with H1N1 influenza. Methods The clinical manifestations, laboratory and image examinations, treatment, and prognosis of nephrotic syndrome combined H1N1 influenza were retrospectively analyzed in 15 children with. Results All of 15 children with nephrotic syndrome met the diagnostic criteria of H1N1 influenza. The median age of all children was 4-year-8-month old (2-year-2-month to 6-year-9-month). All children were treated with hormone alone or combined with other immunosuppressive drugs. Three cases were severe and another 5 cases were critically ill. Four cases were complicated with recurrence of nephrotic syndrome, 2 of which suffered from acute renal insufficiency. All children were given oseltamivir as antiviral treatment at admission. Four cases took oseltamivir within 48 hours of onset and showed mild symptoms. Fourteen children with H1N1I influenza were cured, their urinary proteins were significantly decreased or converted to negative, and the median hospital stay was 8 days (1 to 25 days). One child died of acute necrotizing encephalopathy and brain herniation. Conclusions Children with nephrotic syndrome are susceptible to severe or critical H1N1 influenza infections. During the epidemic of H1N1 influenza, the clinical preventive measures should be taken in children with nephrotic syndrome.
