“…27 The studies described above by Pisacane et al 25 and Cunnane et al 23 provide data to support this concept, although quantitative assessments of nutritional status were not performed. Many protective factors (antibodies, glycoconjugates, cells, and antiinflammatory compounds) are present in human milk.…”

ABSTRACT. This article summarizes the proceedings of a workshop sponsored by the National Institutes of Health and the National Vaccine Program Office, and held in Bethesda, Maryland, on January 21, 2000. The objective of the meeting was to focus research toward an understanding of the basis for the possible association between intussusception and the reassortant rhesus-human rotavirus vaccine tetravalent (RRV-TV). After numerous reports of intussusception after administration of RRV-TV, the manufacturers of this vaccine voluntarily withdrew it from the United States market. The American Academy of Pediatrics, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, and the American Academy of Family Physicians also withdrew their original recommendations for administration of RRV-TV to children at 2, 4, and 6 months of age. These actions will have global implications for the prevention of morbidity and mortality attributable to rotavirus infection. Benefit-cost ratios for the use of RRV-TV will be substantially different in developing countries compared with developed countries. Therefore, extensive research is needed in both of these settings, to further our understanding of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and pathology of both rotavirus disease and intussusception to enable optimal prevention. The workshop reviewed the current understanding of the possible association between RRV-TV and intussusception, as well as the possible association between a variety of viral infections and intussusception. The workshop also identified critical areas of research regarding this possible association. This research will be essential not only for the development of safe and effective rotavirus vaccines, but for the development of other oral vaccines as well. Pediatrics 2001;108(2).

“…From observations in impoverished communities in Africa this assumption cannot be substantiated (32,33,40). However, a recent report of a large prospective study from Toronto has suggested that a significant number of children with intussusception were in fact undernourished (41). A review of our cases did not confirm either concept.…”

SummaryThe records of 583 children who were treated for intussusception at the Children's Hospital of Buffalo in the period 1930–1985 were reviewed. Following a change in management in 1970 from operative treatment to hydrostatic reduction of the intussusception by barium enema, two main groups are defined. In earlier years 95% of patients underwent operative reduction whereas in the latter period 92% had barium reduction attempted. The remaining 8% in this group had clinical contraindications for hydrostatic enema attempt. Ten percent had pathological lead points. Recurrent intussusception occurred in 50 cases (8.5%), 66% following barium enema reduction and 33% after surgery. The mortality in the earlier group was 3.9% and 1.3% in the latter group. No deaths occurred in patients treated successfully with barium enema reduction, and there were no deaths in the children with simple uncomplicated intussusception requiring surgery.

Intussusception is one of the commonest causes of intestinal obstruction in infants and accounts for about 700 hospital admissions each year in England and Wales. Improved results of treatment have followed recent technological developments, which include ultrasonographic imaging and pneumatic reduction techniques. Most intussusceptions can be reduced successfully without the need for operation but close cooperation between surgeon and radiologist is essential. Mortality and morbidity rates from the condition have progressively declined in recent decades but avoidable deaths still occur.
