The concept "diathesis" at the majority of us is very frequent associates with red cheeks, allergic vysypanijami on a skin of the kid which arise, say, after the use of new foodstuff. But, it appears, there are some versions of a diathesis, and still is at all disease.
Diathesis - an especial condition of a children's organism
In general, the word a diathesis occurs from Greek "diatheses", that means "propensity to something". And here in medicine under this concept understand anomalies of the constitution of a human body which are characterised by propensity to some diseases and certain type of inadequate reactions on usual razdrazhiteli world around. It is meant, that by each child, and in the future and the adult person, will test propensity to occurrence of certain diseases. But, if the pediatrist has found out, that in the kid a diathesis, does not mean, that the child is sick. The diathesis is not illness, and a certain condition of an organism. When in care of the kid, you absolutely neumyshlenno have created certain "background" (we will tell, for a breakfast have offered too much wild strawberry, a strawberry or chocolate) subsequently there will be already corresponding painful signs.
What is "constitution"? Besides, the Greek language explains, that it is set morphological and functional (including psychological) features of the person, which are caused by its genotype (that is, the features inherited from parents), and also long or intensive influence of environment. All these features in a complex define functional abilities of an organism and its possibility to reject pressure to diseases.
With development of a medical science were concretised representation about mechanisms of this or that propensity that has led to allocation separate "diateznyh" diseases. For given time distinguish some kinds of a diathesis: ekssudativno-kataralnyj, allergic, limfatiko-hypoplastic and nervously-artritichesky. The term "gemorragichesky a diathesis" which combines diseases which are characterised raised krovotochivostju has besides, remained. As we see a diathesis is not only "red cheeks".
