Mortality from pneumonia is three times higher in Asia compared with industrialized countries. We aimed to determine the epidemiology, microbiology, and outcome of severe PICUs across Pediatric Acute Critical Care Medicine Asian Network (PACCMAN).

Background: Hypercalciuria is one of the most common causes unexplained isolated hematuria.The diagnostic methods for hypercalciuria have not yet been standardized.The aim this study was to assess whether random urinary calcium/creatinine ratio could be used as a screening tool in children with hematuria.Methods: This prospective included 264 primary hematuria whom both and 24 hr evaluations were performed.Pearson correlation ROC curve correlations.A multiple linear regression model analyze...

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute, self-limited febrile illness of young children. The etiology KD remains to be poorly understood. There has been limited research on longitudinal examination peripheral blood leukocytes for immune profiling particularly in relation treatment response with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). This study profiles cells at the time diagnosis and over course. In addition, we identified characteristics IVIG-responsive patients KD. We enrolled diagnosed between May...

Thin people who undergo implant insertion into the chest wall face a high risk of exposure to external environment. Five months after an 8-year-old boy underwent implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation in subcutaneous pocket left anterolateral manage long QT syndrome, ICD replacement became necessary owing from distal and lateral thinning pocket. Pocket rupture would increase infection; therefore, we performed removal primary closure. Two weeks later, new suprafascial was...

Abstract Background Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute, self-limited febrile illness of unknown cause. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG)-resistance are related to greater risk for permanent cardiac complications. We aimed determine the correlation between monocytes and phenotype KD in relation IVIG responsiveness children. Materials methods The study cohort included 62 patients who were diagnosed with KD, 20 non healthy controls (NFC), 15 other (OFC). In all enrolled patients, blood was taken...

As adolescents started to be vaccinated against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), suspected myocarditis and pericarditis related the vaccine were reported in adolescents. According Korea Disease Control Prevention Agency (KDCA), 2,796,270 persons aged 12−18 years fully by December 8. Among these, 9223 adverse events (0.33%). We aimed elucidate clinical courses short-term outcomes for with cardiac symptoms myo- or peri-carditis COVID-19 vaccination South Korea. Methods: retrospectively...

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) successfully restores systemic circulation approximately 50% of the time; however, many restored patients have severe neurologic damage. In adults, gray matter to white attenuation ratio (GWR) in brain computed tomography (CT) correlates with outcome. However, children, clinical significance GWR still remains unclear. The aim this study was evaluate characteristics children who underwent CPR for cardiac arrest according survival and demonstrate...

Antithymocyte globulin (ATG) is used as an immunosuppressive treatment (IST) to deplete clonal suppressor T cells in patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA). The depletion of by ATG may affect the activation B cells, which results increased risk for autoimmune conditions. A 12-year-old boy was diagnosed idiopathic SAA. As he did not have human leukocyte antigen-matched sibling, treated rabbit (3.5 mg/kg/day 5 days) and cyclosporine. Five months later, became transfusion independent....

Pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 (PHA1) is a rare salt-wasting disorder caused by resistance to mineralocorticoid action. PHA1 of two types with different levels disease severity and phenotype as follows: systemic an autosomal recessive inheritance (caused mutations the epithelial sodium channel) renal dominant in receptor). The clinical manifestations vary widely; however, commonly involves hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis elevated renin aldosterone. earliest signs both PAH1...

Introduction: Severe pneumonia is a common indication for admission to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and leading cause of morbidity mortality. The lack epidemiology outcome data from Asia barrier improving outcomes severe in region. Methods: This prospective multicenter cohort study carried out April 2019 2022. Fifteen PICUs participated this under Pediatric Acute & Critical Care Medicine Asian Network. Epidemiological, microbiological were collected up hospital discharge....

Pediatric cardiac tumors are rare. Among these, fibroma is the second most common. Its clinical manifestations depend on size and location of tumor include arrhythmia or obstruction to blood flow. Symptomatic generally treated with surgical resection transplantation. We present case a 12-year-old boy lethal ventricular induced by remnant that was previously partially resected. An implantable cardioverter defibrillator inserted as resistant medical treatment. He discharged in stable condition...
