[A unique population in today's paediatric intensive care unit: Immigrant children presenting with infectious diseases].

CONCLUSIONS: In our study, we found an association between community-acquired infectious disease and increased mortality in the immigrant group. The underlying mechanism for this increase remains to be explained and further research is required to determine whether parameters related to infection should be added to this severity score for its use in this specific population.
