10-day antibiotic therapy noninferior to 14 days for GNB sepsis

04 Feb 2022

Antibiotic therapy for 10 days is not inferior to 14 days therapy in nonvery low birth weight (non-VLBW) infants with Gram-negative bacterial (GNB) sepsis, a recent study has shown.

Streptococcus dominates post-traumatic endophthalmitis in kids

29 Jan 2022

Post-traumatic endophthalmitis in children is most commonly caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, though the dominant species tends to vary greatly between age groups, a recent study has found. Visual outcomes in infected children remain poor even despite prompt treatment.

Singapore’s SCID newborn screening programme safe alongside near-universal BCG vaccination

28 Jan 2022 by

In newborn screening programmes for Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID), patients found with transient T-cell lymphopaenia (TCL) without underlying immunodeficiencies can still safely receive Bacille-Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccines, according to a recent Singapore study. SCID newborn screening programmes can be feasibly implemented alongside almost universal BCG vaccination.

Pneumonia in infancy spells bigger risk of subsequent chronic respiratory disorders

28 Jan 2022

The occurrence of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in infancy, especially closer to preschool age, confers a heightened risk of developing subsequent chronic respiratory disorders, a study has found.

COVID-19 unlikely to be transmitted via breastfeeding, says small study

26 Jan 2022 by

SARS-CoV-2 RNA is infrequently detected in the breastmilk of mothers with proven or suspected COVID-19, but just the same, breastfeeding does not represent a risk factor for vertical transmission of the infection, according to data from a small study.

Consider AZA discontinuation in kids with sustained, deep remission of Crohn’s disease

22 Jan 2022

In children with Crohn’s disease with sustained clinical and deep remission, cessation of azathioprine (AZA) does not seem to lead to an excess risk of relapse, a recent study has found. In contrast, discontinuation of infliximab does entail such a risk.

Stool biomarkers useful for predicting necrotizing enterocolitis in preemies

20 Jan 2022

The level of lipocalin-2 and calprotectin in the stool of premature neonates represents a significant biomarker signature for predicting the development of necrotizing enterocolitis, as shown in a study.
