Abstract:
The size and the structure of the liver in 38 children with vitiligo and 43 healthy children suffering from a mild form of pityriasis capitis were measured in an ultrasonographic examination and then compared. In the examined group there were found single cases beyond the norm. No changes in the structure of the liver parenchyma were stated in any of the vitiligo cases. For the liver measured in L1 there were stated 94.7% cases of vitiligo within the range from 2.5 to 97.5 percentile values in the control group. For the liver measured in L2--92.5% cases from 2.5 to 97.5 percentile values in the control group and for the liver measured in L3--92.1% cases of vitiligo were within the range 2.5 do 97.5 percentile values in the control group.
