Abstract

Pediatric Menetrier disease is a rare clinical event with unknown etiology, which has a different course from that in adults. It is characterized by gastric hypertrophy and hypoalbuminemia secondary to protein loss throughout the gastric mucosa. Menetrier disease is usually self-limiting in children. In particular, in patients with immune deficiency, one of the most important cause for Menetrier disease is cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. This infection can also be observed in immunocompetent children. A girl aged two and a half years with a one-week history of generalized edema, weakness, and decreased urine output was admitted at the Pediatric Department of Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital. Periorbital and pretibial edema, abdominal distension, and ascites were detected and laboratory studies revealed hypoalbuminemia and elevated fecal alpha-1 antitrypsin excretion. According to the serological investigations, anti-CMV IgM antibodies were detected positive and CMV DNA values were found to be 1170 copies/mL. The patient was treated with intravenous albumin infusion, PPI therapy, and a high-protein and low-salt diet. On the 10th day of treatment, her condition gradually improved without any antiviral drug. We prepared this presentation because we determined CMV as an etiological agent of protein-losing gastropathy in a child with a healthy immune system.

Özet

Çocukluk çağında Menetrier hastalığı; etiyolojisi tam açıklanamamış, nadir ve seyri erişkinlerden farklı olan klinik bir tablodur. Mide mukozasında hipertrofi ve buradan protein kaybına bağlı hipoalbüminemi ile karakterizedir. Çocuklarda genellikle hastalık kendi kendini sınırlar. Özellikle immün yetersizliği olan hastalarda Menetrier hastalığının en önemli nedenlerinden biri sitomegalovirus (CMV) enfeksiyonudur. İmmün sistemi sağlam çocuklarda da sitomegalovirus enfeksiyonu görülebilir. Önceden sağlıklı iki buçuk yaşında kız olgu bir haftadır tüm vücudunda şişlik, halsizlik, idrar yapımında azalma yakınması ile Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Çocuk Kliniği'ne getirildi. Periorbital-pretibial ödem, batında distansiyon ve asit saptanan olgunun yapılan tetkiklerinde hipoalbuminemi ve dışkıda alfa-1 antitripsin düzeyi yüksek bulundu. Hastanın nedene yönelik serolojik incelemelerinden CMV IgM antikoru pozitif ve CMV DNA değeri 1170 kopya/mL saptandı. Olguya albumin desteği, proton pompa inhibitörü ve tuzdan fakir yüksek proteinli diyet başlandı. Antiviral tedavi verilmemesine rağmen tedavinin 10. gününde klinik bulguları geriledi. Bu olguyu immün sistemi sağlam bir çocukta protein kaybettiren gastropati etiyolojisinde sitomegalovirus saptamamız nedeniyle sunduk.
