[Inappropriate secretion of ADH during acute respiratory infections due to adenovirus in children (author's transl)]. 1977

G Le Moing, and D Gendrel, and J Couvreur, and C Gaultier, and G Tournier, and J Gerbeaux

Four children aged between 7 and 19 months with severe bronchopneumonia due to adenovirus type 7, proved by virology and/or serology developed severe hyponatraemia. One of them is reported in detail: it was possible to estimate plasma ADH levels and thereby prove the existence of reversible hypersecretion of the hormone. Whilst the syndrome of hyponatraemia with inappropriate secretion of ADH has not yet been reported in association with severe pneumonia in the child, it is known in adults. The limits of the syndrome and its physiopathology are discussed. It may be due either to vagal stimulation as a result of a fall in left aressure, or to central involvement. Therapeutic implications of the problem are emphasized.

D007030 Hypothalamo-Hypophyseal System A collection of NEURONS, tracts of NERVE FIBERS, endocrine tissue, and blood vessels in the HYPOTHALAMUS and the PITUITARY GLAND. This hypothalamo-hypophyseal portal circulation provides the mechanism for hypothalamic neuroendocrine (HYPOTHALAMIC HORMONES) regulation of pituitary function and the release of various PITUITARY HORMONES into the systemic circulation to maintain HOMEOSTASIS.

D010904 Pituitary Gland, Posterior Neural tissue of the pituitary gland, also known as the neurohypophysis. It consists of the distal AXONS of neurons that produce VASOPRESSIN and OXYTOCIN in the SUPRAOPTIC NUCLEUS and the PARAVENTRICULAR NUCLEUS. These axons travel down through the MEDIAN EMINENCE, the hypothalamic infundibulum of the PITUITARY STALK, to the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland.
