E. coli, S. agalactiae afflict most infants with invasive bacterial infections

10 Dec 2022

From 2006 to 2020, the most common invasive bacterial infections (IBIs) among infants <3 months of age are S. agalactiae, E. coli, and S. aureus, reveals a recent study in Korea. In addition, an increasing trend of S. agalactiae has been seen.

Bacteraemia, UTI not uncommon in paediatric renal transplant recipients

08 Dec 2022

A few paediatric renal transplant recipients who presented with suspected infection within 2 years of transplant were diagnosed with bacteraemia or urinary tract infections (UTIs) or both, reports a study. Evaluations are highly variable, with a third of visits without urine cultures obtained.

Minimally invasive surgery safer but less effective than open surgery in children with DRE

07 Dec 2022

In the treatment of children with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE), minimally invasive magnetic resonance-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy is associated with lower rate of seizure freedom at 1 year but has the advantage of lower complication rates and shorter hospitalization as compared with open surgery, as shown in a study.
