BackgroundThe Global Point Prevalence Survey (Global-PPS) established an international network of hospitals to measure antimicrobial prescribing and resistance worldwide. We aimed assess in hospital inpatients.MethodsWe used a standardised surveillance method collect detailed data about from worldwide, which were grouped by UN region. The internet-based survey included all inpatients (adults, children, neonates) receiving who on the ward at 0800 h one specific day between January September,...
The overlap of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with other common respiratory pathogens may complicate the course and prognosis. aim study was to evaluate rates, characteristics, outcomes pediatric patients severe acute syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2), syncytial virus (RSV), influenza A/B infections, their coinfections. A single-center prospective cross-sectional performed at emergency department in Vilnius from 1 October 2021 30 April 2022. In total, 5127 children were screened for SARS-CoV-2,...
The Raise Awareness of Influenza Strategies in Europe (RAISE) group gathered information about the healthcare burden influenza (hospitalizations, intensive care unit [ICU] admissions, and excess deaths), surveillance systems, vaccine coverage rate (VCR) older adults 18 European countries Israel. Published medical literature official documentation on disease participating were reviewed from 2010/11 until 2022/23 seasons. Information framework for monitoring provision ensuring had access to...
BackgroundHealthcare workers (HCWs) have been disproportionately affected by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which may be driven, in part, nosocomial exposure. If HCW exposure is predominantly nosocomial, HCWs paediatric facilities, where few patients are admitted with COVID-19, lack antibodies to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and at increased risk during the current resurgence.AimTo compare seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 amongst facilities seven European...
Background Since the start of COVID-19 pandemic, epidemiology acute respiratory infections (ARIs) has continually changed, making it difficult to predict. Our study aimed evaluate epidemiological changes and clinical outcomes ARIs in pediatric patients post-lockdown period. Methods A single-center retrospective cross-sectional was performed one largest emergency departments Lithuania during two cold seasons–from October 1, 2021, April 30, 2022 (Season I) same period 2022–2023 II). Patients...
Abstract Background In high-resource settings, the survival of children with immunocompromise (IC) has increased and immunosuppressive therapies are increasingly being used. This study aimed to determine clinical characteristics, performance diagnostic tools, outcome IC tuberculosis (TB) in Europe. Methods Multicenter, matched case-control within Pediatric Tuberculosis Network European Trials Group, capturing TB cases <18 years diagnosed 2000–2020. Results A total 417 were included,...
Introduction: Vaccination against varicella rapidly reduces disease incidence, resulting in reductions both individual burden and societal costs. Despite these benefits, there is no standardization of immunization policies Europe, including countries Central Eastern Europe (CEE).Areas covered: This systematic literature review identified publications on the epidemiology varicella, its associated health economic burden, vaccination strategies within CEE region, defined as Albania,...
Neisseria meningitidis causes invasive meningococcal disease (IMD), which is associated with significant mortality and long-term consequences, especially among young children. The incidence of IMD in Lithuania was the highest European Union/European Economic Area countries during past two decades; however, characterization isolates by molecular typing methods has not yet been performed. In this study, we characterized (n=294) recovered from 2009 to 2019 multilocus sequence (MLST) antigens...
Neisseria meningitidis can be carried asymptomatically in the human oropharynx without causing symptoms. Meningococcal carriage is relevant to epidemiology of invasive meningococcal disease (IMD). No studies have been performed among general population Lithuania, whereas incidence IMD Lithuania was highest European countries from 2009 2019.
: Due to its link with the SARS-CoV-2, Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) gained global attention as a serious condition that requires hospital care. Our study aimed present clinical and laboratory characteristics of MIS-C patients by age group intensive care unit (ICU) admission status assess early echocardiographic changes.

<h3>Objectives</h3> The aim of this study was to compare the use antibiotics among hospitalised children in Riga (Latvia) and Vilnius (Lithuania) at two tertiary paediatric centres. <h3>Methods</h3> A point prevalence survey (PPS) conducted using validated standardised Antibiotic Resistance Prescribing European Children (ARPEC) project methodology during November 2012. All inpatients less than 18 years old were included study. data recorded for patients with active antimicrobial...
The Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-induced osteomyelitis is an extremely rare systemic adverse reaction after BCG vaccination in immunocompetent children and the correct diagnosis frequently missed. We present 4 clinical cases of BCG-induced reported over a 10-year period high-TB incidence country Lithuania. A brief review clinical, management treatment features disease given.
Įvadas. Lietuvoje, kaip ir daugelyje pasaulio šalių, sergamumas kokliušu plečiasi, nors skiepijimų apimtys nuo šios infekcijos yra didelės. Kokliušu serga įvairaus amžiaus asmenys, tačiau jis pavojingiausias naujagimiams pirmųjų gyvenimo mėnesių kūdikiams. Šiai vaikų grupei apsaugą kokliušo galėtų užtikrinti transplacentaliai gauti specifiniai antikūnai iš mamos organizmo. Tyrimo tikslas – nustatyti specifinių antikūnų prieš B. pertussis toksiną (anti–PT IgG) titrus gimdyvių kūdikių...
