ABSTRACT. Pemphigus vulgaris is extremely rare in childhood. Only 35 cases of juvenile pemphigus vulgaris have been reported in the literature up until to now. During the pre‐steroid era, the outcome of the disease was usually regarded as fatal. Today, the prognosis has improved because of the possibility of early diagnosis by immunoflourescent techniques, determination of antibodies against epidermal intercellular substance and early therapy with systemic steroids. A case of juvenile pemphigus vulgaris with a favourable outcome in a 13‐year old girl is described.

In children with myelodysplasia and a low lumbar or sacral level of spinal cord lesions detrusor hyperactivity with pressure fluctuations is an almost constant phenomenon contributing to incontinence. In thirteen children with this type of dysfunction the effect of adrenergic agonists and antagonists on bladder and urethral pressures were studied by means of intravesical and urethral pressure recordings during the normal bladder-filling phase. Intravenous infusion of noradrenaline during the bladder-filling phase slightly reduced detrusor hyperactivity and the urethral pressure was increased. Following i.m. injection of the alpha-adrenergic antagonist phentolamine both the intravesical and proximal urethral pressures were reduced to about the same extent and the detrusor hyperactivity decreased. It is concluded that noradrenaline mainly changed urethral pressure while alpha-adrenergic blockade caused decreased tone in both the detrusor and the urethra as well as decreased detrusor hyperactivity.
ABSTRACT. Some 3500 adolescents answered a questionnaire anonymously. The sample represented 85 % of the students between the ages 13 to 16 and 65 % of the students between 17 to 18 in the three communities studied. The students all had middle class backgrounds. Self‐reported illness differed considerably from data found in epidemiological surveys. The self‐reported medical panorama was dominated by concerns about acne, tiredness, headaches, stomach pains, sports injuries and allergic disorders. One quarter to one third of the students reported such problems. Overall, 85% of the students reported that they were “completely healthy”, at the same time as they also reported an average of 3.1 medical complaints. Self‐initiated appointments with physicians were reported with an average of 5.5 during the last year, which is high. About 40% of the students had one complaint for which they wanted to see a physician. About 15% reported that they had had suicidal thoughts.
