The Burden of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Disease in Children and Adults Hospitalized in a Large Tertiary Hospital in the United Kingdom: A Retrospective Study
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is an RNA virus spread via droplets. Children are predominately affected, with a significant burden in the under 1s. The burden of disease across both children and adults and management is rarely reported. We completed a retrospective study looking at the characteristics of all patients admitted with a positive RSV PCR throat swab were reviewed from a large tertiary hospital in the United Kingdom over the 2019/2020 season. Four hundred six paediatric patients and 81 adult patients were included. Ninety-four percent (76/81) of adult patients had comorbidities compared with 20% (81/406) of c...

Mycobacterium abscessus Pneumonia in an Immunonormal Infant
A 2-month-old male with failure to thrive and respiratory symptoms was found to have bilateral pneumonia secondary to Mycobacterium abscessus. M. abscessus pulmonary infections have mainly been noted in immunocompromised children; prior reports presented similarly, though our patient is unique given the young age of presentation and lack of diagnosed immunodeficiency or underlying disease.

Increasing Use Of Interferon Gamma Release Assays Among Children ≥2 Years of Age in a Setting With Low Tuberculosis Prevalence
US guidelines recommend interferon gamma release assays (IGRAs) for diagnosis of tuberculosis infection in children. In this retrospective cohort study, IGRA use in children 2–17 years of age increased substantially between 2015 and 2021. Testing in inpatient/subspecialty settings (vs. primary care), public (vs. private) insurance, lower age and non-English preferred language were associated with increased odds of receiving an IGRA.

Monkeypox—What Pediatricians Need to Know
Monkeypox is a zoonotic disease, presenting with fever, lymphadenopathy and vesicular-pustular skin lesions, that historically has rarely been reported outside the endemic regions of Central and West Africa. It was previously thought that human-to-human transmission was too low to sustain spread. During 2022, the number of cases of monkeypox, caused by clade II, rose rapidly globally, predominantly among men who have sex with men. In previous outbreaks with monkeypox clade 1 in endemic areas, children were disproportionately more affected with higher morbidity and mortality. It is unclear whether children are at similarly ...
