There have been a limited number of studies on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in children. In this study, we aimed to investigate the demographic, clinical, and laboratory features COVID-19 identify role mean platelet volume (MPV) predicting prognosis A single-center retrospective including 251 confirmed 65 suspected cases, was conducted between March 11, 2020, December 2020. group, 48 (19.1%) patients were asymptomatic, 183 (72.9%) mild, 16 (6.4%) moderate, 1 (0.4%) severe, 3 (1.2%)...
Abstract Background Acinetobacter spp has emerged as an important nosocomial pathogen causing life-threatening infections in hospitalized patients. 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...

The increasing incidence of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia ( S. ) infections raises concern because the high fatality/case ratio. This study aimed to evaluate risk factors for infection and mortality associated with bloodstream (BSIs) in children compare them Pseudomonas aeruginosa BSIs.All BSIs caused by (n:73) P. (n:80) were enrolled this between January 2014 December 2021 at Medical School Ege University.Previous Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) admission, prior glycopeptide, carbapenem...
BackgroundBone and joint infections are common in children, particularly those under 10 years of age. While antimicrobial therapy can often successfully treat these infections, surgical drainage may also be necessary. It is important to note that prolonged courses treatment have been associated with adverse events drug reactions. Among these, reactions eosinophilia systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome severe potentially life-threatening. We aimed evaluate the cases DRESS develop during bone...
OBJECTIVE Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt infections caused by gram-negative bacteria are difficult to treat given the limited treatment options and emergence of carbapenem-resistant (CR) strains. This study aimed evaluate demographic clinical characteristics children with CSF external ventricular drain (EVD) bacteria, identify risk factors for acquiring CR infections, report on outcomes these infections. METHODS A retrospective cohort was designed pediatric patients EVD between January 2013...
Abstract The most prevalent malignancy that complicates both adult and pediatric solid organ transplantation is post‐transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD). This study aimed to analyze the clinical pathological characteristics, treatments, outcomes of Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) DNAemia PTLD in liver transplant recipients. A retrospective chart review was performed on 112 patients less than 18 years age who underwent isolated orthotopic (OLT) between 2010 2022 at Ege University...
Background. Cryptococcus neoformans causes cryptococcosis, primarily affecting immunocompromised individuals, including solid-organ transplant recipients, and, less frequently, immunocompetent people. Case. A 15-year-old male with congenital hepatic fibrosis, portal hypertension, and cirrhosis underwent orthotopic liver transplantation. He received perioperative antimicrobial antifungal prophylaxis continued immunosuppressive treatment. Thirty months post-transplant, he presented fever,...
We aimed to compare the acute kidney injury (AKI) incidence in pediatric septic shock patients according three different classifications.We analyzed retrospectively 52 with severe sepsis between January 2019 and December 2019.While 21 have been diagnosed SA-AKI pRIFLE criteria, 20 children AKIN KDIGO criteria. Older age, lower platelet count were determined as independently risk factor for SA-AKI. age higher PRISM score associated mortality. According Canonical correlation coefficients, is...
To The Editors: Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is one of the most widely used and effective methods in treatment hydrocephalus childhood. VP infections have been observed approximately 3.2%–25%, Chryseobacterium spp. a rare cause infections.1,2 Herein, we report first infection caused by gleum. A 12-month-old female (corrected age 8 months) born via spontaneous vaginal delivery, weighed 700 g at 25 weeks gestation, was admitted to our emergency department with fever maximum peak temperature...
Studies on age-related differences in clinical and laboratory features of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection are limited. We aimed to evaluate the demographic, clinical, findings SARS-CoV-2 children younger than 6 months old compare them with older children.A single-center retrospective study, including 209 confirmed cases, was conducted between 11 March 2020 1 September 2021. The case group consisted 47 patients old, whereas control 162 old.The mean age...
Objective : The most prevalent malignancy that complicates both adult and pediatric solid organ transplantation is post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD). This study aimed to analyze the clinical pathological characteristics, treatments, outcomes of EBV viremia PTLD in liver transplant recipients. Method A retrospective chart review was performed on 112 patients less than 18 years age who underwent isolated orthotopic (OLT) between 2010 2022 at Ege University Children’s...
To the Editors: Mycoplasma pneumoniae is known to cause a wide range of extrapulmonary diseases affecting multiple organs in human body, while rhinovirus infection similarly has potential serious complications both lungs and other body systems.1 We present 2 pediatric cases M. coinfection that led renal complications, highlighting importance recognizing atypical presentations viral respiratory infections. CASE 1 A 13-year-old male presented with 15-day history runny nose, cough, sputum...
Abstract Background This study focused on timelines of infection episodes and dominant variants aims to determine disease severity outcome pediatric patients with reinfection. Materials Methods retrospectively evaluated the medical records hospitalized and/or outpatients aged 0–18 a positive severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) polymerase chain reaction between March 2020 September 2022 at Ege University Children’s Hospital. Results Ninety-one reinfected SARS-CoV-2...
The majority of children with coronavirus diseases 2019 (COVID-19) are asymptomatic or develop mild symptoms, and a small number patients require hospitalization. Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in (MIS-C) is one the most severe clinical courses COVID-19 suggested to be hyperinflammatory condition. This study aimed compare quantitative antibody levels against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein MIS-C. Blood samples from 75 [n = 36 (48%) mild/asymptomatic (group 1), n 22 (29.3%) moderate-to-severe...
<b>Objective</b> Acute bacterial meningitis (ABM) declined after implementing conjugate <i>Haemophilus influenzae</i> type B and the pneumococcal vaccines worldwide. However, it still contributes to significant morbidity mortality. The Biofire FilmArray Meningitis Encephalitis (FAME) panel can rapidly diagnose common viral pathogens. Several studies suggested that use of FAME may accelerate diagnosis decrease time pathogen-specific therapy. clinical utility is controversial due scarce data...
Pediatric patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) displayed milder symptoms than adults. However, they play an important role in case numbers and virus transmission. Therefore, we aimed to determine the epidemiological features of all pediatric SARS-CoV-2 put forth longitudinally throughout delta variant dominant period.A retrospective study was conducted at a university hospital included between 0 and18 years old polymerase chain reaction (PCR)...
