Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a relatively rare genetic disorder that affects approximately 1 in 20,000 people. Approximately 50 genes are currently known to cause PCD. In light of differences causative and the medical system Japan compared with other countries, practical guide was needed for diagnosis management Japanese PCD patients.
Invasive group A streptococcal (iGAS) infections are known to be potentially life-threatening. Few detailed pediatric cases of toxic shock syndrome (STSS) caused by iGAS with the M1UK strain have been reported. This report describes case a child STSS due strain, documentation treatment progress. 10-year-old female patient without predisposing factors associated iGAS, initially presented pneumonia and developed progressive multi-organ failure. precise diagnosis primary hospital's attending...
Two cases of acute encephalopathy in young children clearly showed evidence influenza A virus infection and bilateral thalamic lesions. Influenza-associated with lesions has mostly been reported Japan; it differs from Reye's syndrome several respects. Other factors addition to may have contributed the etiology our case patients.
Upper airway obstruction can be life-threatening in neonates and infants with CHARGE syndrome, many of whom undergo intratracheal intubation early life. Although some these patients are successfully extubated, others require tracheotomy. Deciding whether to complete tracheotomy is challenging since there no clear criteria upon which base this decision. We assessed 10 5 required Fiberoptic laryngoscopy showed that all shared certain features: anteroposterior flattening the larynx; short vocal...
Invasive pneumococcal disease typically occurs in immunocompromised patients, although some vaccine strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae have been reported to cause invasive immunocompetent recipients. In this study, we presented a case 16-month-old patient with lung abscess and empyema caused by nonvaccine S. serotype 24B. A consolidation occupying the right upper lobe chest computed tomography results, as observed at presentation, changed thick-walled cavitary lesions end month intravenous...
We encountered a previously healthy 3-year-old girl with interstitial pneumonitis that initially developed due to human adenovirus type 2 infection and exacerbated by primary herpesvirus 7 infection. A comprehensive serum biomarker analysis showed patterns differed viral infection, suggesting respiratory lymphotropic infections might have different pathophysiology in pneumonitis.
To determine how long the measles virus genome was detected in a patient with congenital measles, peripheral blood mononuclear cells were tested for 203 d. The up to 140 Conclusion : period which this much longer than normal children measles.

This study aimed to compare respiratory functions of patients after thoracoscopic lobectomy (TS) with those thoracotomy (TR).
Background: Pediatric idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) is a rare disease with no established diagnostic or therapeutic guidelines. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) has indication for this and contraindicated in patients under 6 years of age. The aim study was to evaluate the procedure, efficacy safety IIP treatment Japan. Methods: Japanese Society Pulmonology (JSPP) implemented registration system from April 2010 March 2020. enrollment criteria were posted on JSPP website, e-mail requests...
Abstract Tongue-base cysts, which are occasionally categorized as vallecular a rare yet potentially life-threatening cause of stridor in pediatric patients. Studies reporting the use point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) to identify tongue-base cysts lacking. We present case series four infants whom were detected using neck POCUS.
Round pneumonia is a disease commonly recognized in the pediatric age group, especially under of 8 years. Streptococcus pneumoniae most common agent causing this characteristic type pneumonia. We herein report case 6-year-old boy with only mild cough and low-grade fever who was then diagnosed round due to Chlamydia pneumoniae. He had multiple opacities right lower lung field, symptoms subsided soon after oral administration antibiotics.
Abstract Background Postoperative recurrence of tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is a frequent complication in the repair esophageal atresia (EA). Based on recent etiologic classification, TEF that develops different new pathway from original one categorized as an acquired TEF. The TEFs fall into this category have been reported to be refractory and their mechanisms not fully understood. Here, we report complicated case derived mediastinitis after developed anastomotic stricture. contained...
Abstract Background: Rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD) is a life-threatening complication of juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM); however, it generally refractory to treatment and no evidence-based has yet been established for RP-ILD. We present the case 2-year-old girl with RP-ILD who was resistant methylprednisolone, cyclosporine A, cyclophosphamide, immunoglobulin, plasma exchange. Finally, she required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, but rituximab contributed...
CASE A 1-year-old girl was admitted to our hospital in November 2011 with a 10-day history of fever, worsening cough and hypoxemia. Her medical notable for left multicystic kidney esophageal atresia, which surgically repaired without complications. On admission, physical examination revealed temperature 38 °C, heart rate 160 beats per minute, respiratory 70 oxygen saturation 97% ambient air. The white blood cell count 15,810 cells/mm3 (with differential 74% neutrophils, 14.5% lymphocytes,...
私たちは突然のクループ症状で発症したが, 治療抵抗性であったために精査したところ, シールによる喉頭異物であった症例を経験した。喉頭異物では, 文献的にも診断が遅延しやすいことがわかった。その理由のひとつは, 異物の種類として, 薄い板状あるいは針状の物が多いことではないかと考えられた。非典型的なクループでは, 必ず喉頭異物も疑い, とくに異物の形状を考慮した現病歴の聴取を行うことが重要である。
