	Childhood Hodgkin's Lymphoma
		Childhood Hodgkin's lymphoma is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the lymph system.
		Childhood Hodgkin's lymphoma is a type of cancer that develops in the lymph system, part of the body's immune system.
		Untreated, classical childhood Hodgkin's lymphoma is divided into risk groups based on the bulk of the tumor (tumors that are 5 centimeters or larger are considered "bulky") and whether the patient has "b" symptoms (fever, weight loss, or night sweats).

		The chance of recovery (prognosis) and choice of treatment depend on the stage of the cancer (whether it is just in one area or has spread throughout the body), the type of symptoms that are present, and the age and overall condition of the child.
		For example, a child with stage I disease without any symptoms is said to have stage IA disease; a child with stage I disease with symptoms is said to have stage IB disease.
		Treatment for childhood Hodgkin's disease depends on the type and stage of disease and how the stage was determined, as well as the child's age, symptoms, and general health.

		However, the most prominent feature of the disease is the appearance of a progressive and often blinding degeneration of the macula, the central part of the retina that provides reading vision.
		This is surprising because Stargardt's disease causes a loss of central vision, which is generated by the cone-shaped cells that proliferate in the macula at the center of the retina.
		As the RPE becomes more diseased, it may in turn cause the degeneration to spread to the nearby cone cells in the macula, leading to the characteristic loss of central vision.

		Hodgkin's Lymphoma or Hodgkin's Disease is a malignant (cancerous) growth of cells in the lymph system.
		The disease was named after Thomas Hodgkin (1798-1866), a English scholar and Quaker physician working at Guy's Hospital in England.
		Lymphatic disease was first described in 1666 by Malpighi although it was in Hodgkin's 1832 paper On Some Morbid Appearances of the Absorbent Glands and Spleen that cases of Hodgkin's lymphoma were well documented.

		The formal name for the disease is erythema infectiosum, which means “infectious redness.” The name fifth disease was applied to the condition because it was the fifth pink-red infectious rash of childhood to be described.
		The disease causes an enzyme deficiency that leads to the destruction of the protective myelin layer around the nerve cells in the brain.
		Children with the disease are severely retarded, with enlarged heads and weak muscles.

		Measles, a common childhood viral infection, is more likely to result in permanent blindness and is more likely to be fatal in children with poor nutritional status.
		While it is possible that childhood exanthemous viral infections might similarly be more severe in selenium-deficient children and helped through supplementation, none of the current research involves these specific viruses.

	THE MEDICAL TIME BOMB OF IMMUNIZATION AGAINST DISEASE
		An autoimmune disease can be explained simply as one in which the body's defense mechanisms cannot distinguish between foreign invaders and ordinary body tissues, with the consequence that the body begins to destroy itself.
		The incubation period f6r the disease is two to five days, and the first symptoms are a sore throat, headache, nausea, coughing, and a fever of l00-l04 degrees.
		This is my favourite childhood disease, first because it is relatively innocuous and second because it is one of the few for which no pharmaceutical manufacturer has yet marketed a vaccine.

		By isolating GAS bacteria from a person with the disease, scientists from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) have discovered several genes that are unique to those bacteria.

Dr. Musser and his colleagues from several institutions determined the genetic blueprint of a GAS strain taken from a patient with rheumatic fever.
