The role of proangiogenic cytokines in predicting sepsis in febrile neutropenic children with cancer
CONCLUSIONS: Our results reveal that Ang-2 and Ang-2/Ang-1 were higher in the sepsis group and Ang-2 might be a biomarker to indicate the risk of sepsis in patients with FN and/or cancer.PMID:38523383 | DOI:10.24953/turkjped.2022.635 (Source: The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics)

Concurrent pyoderma gangrenosum and Takayasu arteritis in an infant: diagnostic challenges and treatment considerations
CONCLUSION: In this report, we highlight an infantile case of PG that was subsequently diagnosed as infantile TA. Recognizing the rare association between PG and TA is important. Thorough evaluation and prompt diagnosis of TA in infants with PG can guide further investigations and prevent vascular complications.PMID:38523387 | DOI:10.24953/turkjped.2023.714 (Source: The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics)

A case of crescentic glomerulonephritis with exacerbation of pre-existing IgA nephropathy after COVID-19
CONCLUSION: In conclusion, COVID -19 may pose a high risk for exacerbation of pre-existing glomerular disease. It is therefore necessary to closely monitor the kidney function of patients with underlying glomerulonephritis during and after COVID-19 and consider an early biopsy if serum creatinine does not return to baseline levels. In addition, this case report highlights the clinical importance of the co-occurence of IgAN and Alport syndrome.PMID:38523389 | DOI:10.24953/turkjped.2023.423 (Source: The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics)

Camptodactyly-arthropathy-coxa vara-pericarditis syndrome and an unusual association with mitral stenosis
CONCLUSIONS: The main defect is the proteoglycan 4 protein which acts like a lubricant in articular and visceral surfaces. Therefore, the leading clinical feature is arthropathy. Cardiac involvement other than clinically mild pericarditis is not usually expected. Three types of proteoglycans (decorin, biglycan, and versican) are present in the mitral valve. This could be the reason of mitral valve involvement in rare cases as like ours. It is important that these patients undergo echocardiographic examination regularly.PMID:38523390 | DOI:10.24953/turkjped.2023.647 (Source: The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics)

Isolated mitral valve aneurysm in a 9-year old boy
CONCLUSIONS: Being rare in children, isolated MVA should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of mass lesions seen on the atrial side of the mitral valve. A 24-hour electrocardiogram may define subtle rhythm disturbances in these patients.PMID:38523391 | DOI:10.24953/turkjped.2023.314 (Source: The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics)

Management of pediatric hemolytic uremic syndrome
Turk J Pediatr. 2024;66(1):1-16. doi: 10.24953/turkjped.2023.596.ABSTRACTClassical clinical triad of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute kidney injury associated with endothelial cell injury. Several situations, including infections, medications, malignancies, and transplantation can trigger endothelial damage. On the HUS spectrum, atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) deserves special attention in pediatric patients, as it can cause endstage kidney disease and mortality. A dysfunction in the alternative complement pathway, either acquired or genetic, has be...

Early neonatal outcomes in infants of mothers with organ transplantation under immunosuppressive treatment
CONCLUSION: Apart from an increased risk of prematurity, low birth weight, and cesarean delivery, no effects were observed in these infants during the early period. However, long-term follow-up is necessary to monitor for any potential morbidities.PMID:38523375 | DOI:10.24953/turkjped.2023.748 (Source: The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics)
