eu Weakness, Anemia, and Neutropenia in a 9-Year-Old Girl With Influenza By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2020-04-01T01:00:57-07:00 A previously healthy 9-year-old immigrant girl from Mexico was evaluated in the emergency department (ED) with one week of fatigue, fevers, rhinorrhea, and cough. She initially presented to her primary pediatrician, where a complete blood count revealed neutropenia, prompting referral to the ED. In the ED, she was found to be influenza A–positive. Because of dehydration, she received intravenous fluids and was admitted to the pediatric hospital medicine service. After 2 days, influenza symptoms improved, and oral intake increased. However, she was noted to have decreased bilateral lower-extremity strength, absent Achilles reflexes, decreased lower-extremity sensation and proprioception, a positive result on the Romberg sign, and abnormal heel-to-shin testing results. These findings prompted an urgent neurology consultation. After extensive imaging, laboratory evaluation, and further consultations, a diagnosis was established. Full Article

eu Cost-effectiveness of Outpatient Management for Febrile Neutropenia in Children With Cancer By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2011-01-10T04:01:43-08:00 Febrile neutropenia is a common complication in children with cancer. Traditionally, even low-risk episodes have been managed entirely in an inpatient setting, and discharge of the patients has been delayed until resolution of fever and sustainable hematopoietic recovery. The results of this decision-analytic model evaluating low-risk febrile neutropenia episodes suggest that the substantially higher costs of inpatient management cannot be justified on the basis of safety and efficacy considerations or patient/parent preferences. Uncertainty remains whether intravenous or oral treatment might be the preferable route of drug administration in an ambulatory setting. (Read the full article) Full Article
eu Adjunct Corticosteroids in Children Hospitalized With Community-Acquired Pneumonia By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2011-01-10T04:01:27-08:00 Corticosteroids inhibit the expression of many proinflammatory cytokines released during the course of community-acquired pneumonia infection. Corticosteroids have been found in some studies to be associated with improved clinical outcomes in adults with pneumonia. No studies have investigated corticosteroid use in children with pneumonia. Results showed that corticosteroid treatment in children with pneumonia is common and its use is highly variable across institutions. Although corticosteroid therapy may benefit children with acute wheezing treated with β-agonists, corticosteroid therapy may lead to worse outcomes for children without wheezing.

eu Pertussis Pseudo-outbreak Linked to Specimens Contaminated by Bordetella pertussis DNA From Clinic Surfaces By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2012-01-16T00:06:48-08:00 Pertussis is a poorly controlled vaccine-preventable disease. Verifying outbreaks is challenging owing to nonspecific clinical presentations and imperfect diagnostic tests. Exclusive reliance on highly sensitive polymerase chain reaction has been associated with pseudo-outbreaks.Contamination of specimens with vaccine derived Bordetella pertussis DNA from pediatric clinic surfaces likely resulted in misdiagnoses. Standard practices, liquid transport medium, and lack of polymerase chain reaction cutoffs for discerning weakly positive (contaminant) DNA are contributory, but modifiable factors.

Few studies have examined related conditions accompanied by underlying increased insulin resistance and their association with developmental outcomes.This population-based study in young children provides evidence that maternal metabolic conditions are a risk factor for autism, developmental delay without autistic symptoms, and impairments in several domains of development, particularly expressive language, after adjusting for sociodemographic and other characteristics.

eu Neurocognitive Phenotype of Isolated Methylmalonic Acidemia By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2012-05-21T00:07:45-07:00 Isolated methylmalonic acidemia, one of the most common inborn errors of organic acid metabolism, is known to be associated with variably impaired intellectual functioning and severe biochemical and clinical abnormalities. However, the neurocognitive outcomes have yet to be fully described.This research defines the neurocognitive phenotype of isolated methylmalonic acidemia and identifies processing speed as a specific impairment. Clinical, biochemical, and molecular genetic covariates were explored. A history of hyperammonemia at diagnosis was found to correlate with poorer cognitive outcomes.

eu EEG for Predicting Early Neurodevelopment in Preterm Infants: An Observational Cohort Study By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2012-09-03T00:07:28-07:00 Previous studies suggest that abnormal findings on conventional EEG during the neonatal period are associated with death or severe brain injury in preterm infants. However, large cohort studies on preterm EEG for predicting later neurodevelopmental outcome remain scarce.This study demonstrates precise prognostic values of conventional EEG for predicting neurodevelopmental outcome in the current perinatal care setting.

eu Erythropoietin for Neuroprotection in Neonatal Encephalopathy: Safety and Pharmacokinetics By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2012-09-24T00:07:05-07:00 Infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy suffer a high rate (>40%) of death or moderate to severe disability, even after therapeutic hypothermia. High-dose erythropoietin (Epo) reduces brain injury and improves neurologic function in animal models of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury.Multiple doses of Epo (up to 2500 U/kg intravenously) given in conjunction with hypothermia are well tolerated in newborns with HIE.
