Since carbapenem-resistant bloodstream have been increasingly reported the pediatric population worldwide recent years, we aimed to evaluate clinical characteristics and identify possible risk factors patients with infections. Methods We retrospectively analyzed results of blood-stream caused by spp. children between 2014-2022. Demographic...
To the Editors: Patients receiving interleukin-6 receptor inhibitors, including tocilizumab (TCZ), have been shown to exhibit increased susceptibility infections, mycobacterial and opportunistic pathogens.1 our knowledge, there are limited data regarding severe infections in patients with systemic diseases treated TCZ, except for rheumatoid arthritis some studies on giant cell arteritis.2 Here, we present a case of 6-year-old girl rituximab-refractory autoimmune encephalitis who developed...
Mild encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion (MERS) is clinico-radiological syndrome that can be related to infectious and non-infectious conditions. Patients present mild neurological symptoms, magnetic resonance imaging typically demonstrate transiently reduced diffusion in the splenium of corpus callosum. Here, we describe MERS 10-year-old boy who presented fever consciousness completely recovered within few days. Streptococcus pneumoniae was causative agent. Although viruses...
Brain abscess is a rare disease in childhood requiring prompt medical and/or surgical treatment. The objective was to review presentation, management, and outcome of brain children. We reviewed the clinical radiological features outcomes 18 children (10 females, 8 males), with median age 48 months (range 1-182), that presented abscesses admitted tertiary pediatric infectious department between December 2010 January 2017. One (5.5%) patient underwent craniotomy 14 (77.7%) had burr hole...

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...
