SARS-CoV-2 pandemic restrictions have deeply altered the common respiratory illnesses burden. The aim of this paper was to clarify how these measures may influenced bronchiolitis epidemiology, exploring possible explanations. We studied 342 infants hospitalized for at our center from four different epidemic seasons (October–April 2017–2018, 2018–2019, 2019–2020 and 2020–2021). March–April hospitalization rate, RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) infection, pediatric intensive care unit (PICU)...
<h3>Importance</h3> Severe gastrointestinal (GI) manifestations have been sporadically reported in children with COVID-19; however, their frequency and clinical outcome are unknown. <h3>Objective</h3> To describe the clinical, radiological, histopathologic characteristics of COVID-19 presenting severe GI to identify factors associated a outcome. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> A multicenter retrospective cohort study (February 25, 2020, January 20, 2021) enrolled inpatient outpatient...
During the 2022 winter, Europe experienced a surge in invasive group A streptococcal (iGAS) infections paediatric patients, accompanied by reports of severe complications such as cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). This study retrospectively analysed cases four patients with CVST secondary to otogenic due Streptococcus pyogenes, who were admitted between November and March 2023 at Bologna Ospedale Maggiore. All presented sepsis signs symptoms, imaging confirming CVST. Treatment included...
The authors describe the positive effect of splenectomy in two brothers affected by micro-drepanocytosis.
Available data indicate that liver involvement is present in a significant proportion of children with celiac disease (CD) at the diagnosis (elevated transaminases 15%-57%, autoimmune 1%-2%). We sought to evaluate prevalence, clinical course, and risk factors for large cohort CD.Children (age 0-18 years) diagnosed CD from March 2010 April 2016 were enrolled. Liver was considered be when alanine transaminase (ALT) levels >40 U/L (hypertransaminasemia [HTS]). Patients HTS re-evaluated after...
Aim: To investigate the role of endothelial PV-1 in patients with untreated celiac disease (CD)-associated liver injury. Materials & methods: and mRNA were measured intestinal biopsies from CD elevated or normal alanine transaminase levels, controls, inflammatory bowel toxic Circulating levels also evaluated. Results: significantly increased serum CD-associated injury reverted to following a gluten-free diet. Mucosal no different Conclusion: Serum but not mucosal represents marker...
Abstract Background US Food and Drug Administration has issued Emergency Use Authorizations for hundreds of serological assays to support Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) diagnosis. The aim this study is evaluate, the first time in children, performance three widely utilized SARS-CoV-2 serology commercial assays, Diesse Diagnostics (IgG, IgA, IgM) Roche Diagnostics, both Nucleocapsid (N) IgG Spike (S) assays. Methods Sensitivity 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were...
Adherence to croup management recommendations has been poorly investigated. This study aimed describe the treatment patterns in two paediatric emergency departments and analyse adherence recommendations.We conducted a retrospective chart review of children diagnosed with Italian 2017. Data on clinical presentation, corticosteroid administration home therapy were collected. Length stay, hospitalisation re-access rates compared among different groups.We enrolled 632 patients (61.1% males) mean...
