Enterococcal infections are increasingly common in hospitalized patients. meningitis/ventriculitis (EMV) is an extremely rare condition of enterococcal infections, occurring particularly children. This study investigated the clinical and microbiological characteristics, predisposing factors, prognosis pediatric patients with EMV.Pediatric (<18 years) diagnosed EMV were retrospectively evaluated over 10 years.The included a total 25 isolates from 24 patients, median age 23 months (range:...
Introduction Being born large for gestational age (LGA) is a risk factor development of metabolic syndrome (MS) in adolescents and adults. Objective To evaluate prepubertal children idiopathic LGA to non-obese mothers without diabetes or glucosuria with respect the presence MS antecedents. Patients methods We conducted cross-sectional study compare 40 (19 F) LGA-born mean 6.1 ± 2.5 yr 49 (25 appropriate (AGA)-born body mass index (BMI)-matched peers 5.4 1.8 their anthropometric data, blood...
Although chest computed tomography (CT) score has been well evaluated in adult coronavirus disease (COVID-19), its use paediatric cases is insufficiently studied. Our aim to evaluate the relationship of CT with severity and laboratory parameters.Seventy-six patients confirmed COVID-19 evaluation on admission have included this study. Chest was calculated for each five lobes considering extent anatomical involvement, as follows: 0: 0%; 1: <5%; 2: 5%-25%; 3: 26%-50%; 4: 51%-75% 5: >75%. The...
Health care workers (HCWs) are disproportionately exposed to infectious diseases and play a role in nosocomial transmission, making them key demographic for vaccination. HCW vaccination rates not optimal many countries; hence, compulsory policies have been implemented some countries. Although these effective necessary under certain conditions, resolving HCWs' hesitancies misconceptions about vaccines is crucial. HCWs the advantage of direct contact with patients; they can respond safety...
This study aimed to determine the frequency of bloodstream and wound infections their possible risk factors in hospitalized children with burn injury.We performed this retrospective descriptive from 2015 2021. The subjects consisted all pediatric patients unit, whom microorganisms were isolated either blood or culture samples.We detected a total 142 97 samples 45 samples. Among 115 patients, 44 (38.3%) females 71 (61.7%) males, median age 21 months (interquartile range: 14-39 months)....

Objective: To examine the effect of COVID-19 virus, especially Omicron variant, on hematological parameters hospitalized pediatric patients during pandemic. Methods: Medical records at Kartal Dr. Lütfi Kirdar City Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, between March 2020 and May 2022 were retrospectively reviewed to analyze data regarding demographics, SARS-CoV-2 infection polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test results, reverse-transcriptase (RT)-PCR for other respiratory agents, duration hospital...
The known
Aim: Congenital pneumonia (CP) is serious respiratory infection of the neonates. Recently introduced hematological parameter, immature reticulocyte fraction (IRF), has been investigated to gather clinical information about prognosis anemia as well measure level inflammatory activity in adult patients.
