Abstract
Abstract: This is one of the first studies delineating some characteristic features of certain common childhood problems of pediatric cerebral palsy (CP) subjects that might have been overlooked in previous medical visits. We collected data on immunization and also blood, urine and stool specimens of 89 CP subjects and 80 control patients. The CP subjects had significantly higher ratios of anemia, urinary tract infections and missed shots of immunization than patients presenting with first seizure as control group (p<0.05 for each). There was no difference in ratio of intestinal parasites but was quite high in both groups (18%). It will afford a good opportunity for CP subjects if pediatric neurologists, who regularly follow up these patients, focus on some non-neurological but common childhood problems as well. Key Words: Cerebral Palsy; Urinary Tract Infection; Anemia; Missed Immunization Shots; Intestinal Parasites.
