Outbreak Caused by Escherichia coli O18: K1: H7 Sequence Type 95 in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Barcelona, Spain
Conclusions: All the E. coli isolates responsible for this outbreak belonged to a single clone suggesting a common source of infection, and it was categorized as O18:K1:H7. Despite the bacteria’s pathogenicity has an important role in the severity of infection, the host-associated factors were crucial for the fatal outcomes.

Efficacy of a Short-term Six-food Elimination Diet and Reintroduction Therapy in Pediatric Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis: A Case Report.
Authors: Kakiuchi T, Nakayama A, Abe J, Matsuo M Abstract A 13-year-old boy presented to the hospital with a 3-month history of repeated vomiting and abdominal pain. Results of esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a diagnosis of eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE). We initiated a short-term six-food elimination diet (SFED) and reintroduction therapy over five days. On the third day of SFED, the patient's abdominal symptoms completely disappeared. However, he experienced unbearable abdominal pain six hours after the reintroduction of milk and peanuts. His symptoms remain completely controlled at present after eliminat...

Pediatric systemic lupus erythematosus: phagocytic defect and oxidase activity of neutrophils
CONCLUSION: Neutrophil function is impaired in patients with pSLE, as evidenced by the markedly reduced phagocytic activity. Phagocytic activity is also inversely correlated with disease activity. The oxidative activity was also reduced but not significantly.IMPACT: Neutrophil phagocytic function is impaired in pediatric-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (pSLE). There is an inverse correlation between disease activity in pSLE and phagocytic activity. NADPH oxidase activity in patients with pSLE did not show significant correlation with disease activity.PMID:35414669 | DOI:10.1038/s41390-022-02055-2

Current status of antimicrobial resistance in pediatric population in a Mexican hospital
CONCLUSIONS: S aureus, E coli, Klebsiella, Candida, and pseudomonas remain the main causative agents of infection. The GNBs showed an increase in frequency up to 21.5%, showing high resistance in fourth grade cephalosporins, gentamicin, ciprofloxacin and meropenem.PMID:35816624

Acute gastroenteritis.
Abstract Acute gastroenteritis is a common infectious disease syndrome, causing a combination of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. There are more than 350 million cases of acute gastroenteritis in the United States annually and 48 million of these cases are caused by foodborne bacteria. Traveler's diarrhea affects more than half of people traveling from developed countries to developing countries. In adult and pediatric patients, the prevalence of Clostridium difficile is increasing. Contact precautions, public health education, and prudent use of antibiotics are necessary goals in decreasing the pre...

Rapid Intravenous Rehydration Therapy in Children With Acute Gastroenteritis: A Systematic Review
Conclusions: Standard volume IV rehydration for 1 to 4 hours followed by oral hydration or maintenance IV fluids seems sufficient for most children with gastroenteritis requiring IV fluid administration. However, more evidence is needed to establish an optimal IV rehydration regimen.

Clinical Practice Guideline for the Treatment of Pediatric Acute Gastroenteritis in the Outpatient Setting
Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) is a common illness in childhood that usually can be treated in the outpatient setting. Inaccurate assessment or delayed treatment of AGE can lead to an increased risk for invasive interventions. A literature search was conducted using PubMed, CINAHL Plus, the Cochrane Library, and Embase. Results of the query were refined to narrow the focus of relevant studies for the provider caring for dehydrated children in the outpatient setting. Use of clinical dehydration scales to assess the level of dehydration and early initiation of oral rehydration therapy promote optimal patient outcomes.

Fatal Cardiac Arrest in 2 Children: Possible Role of Ondansetron
Conclusions: Patients may have hidden risk factors that, together with ondansetron, could result in a proarrhythmic state that could lead to adverse effects, such as arrhythmias. Administration of ondansetron should be individualized and used cautiously in patients with risk factors for arrhythmia.

Assessing Dehydration Employing End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide in Children With Vomiting and Diarrhea
Conclusions The limited accuracy of EtCO2 measurement to predict 5% or more dehydration precludes its use as a tool to assess dehydration severity in children. End-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring does not have the ability to identify those children with 5% or more dehydration in a cohort of children with vomiting and/or diarrhea presenting for ED care.

Impact of Ondansetron Prescription on Return Emergency Department Visits Among Children with Acute Gastroenteritis
Conclusions There was no association between ondansetron prescription and ED revisit among children seen in the ED with suspected acute gastroenteritis. In the appropriate setting, however, physicians may consider prescribing ondansetron for symptom control in conjunction with careful discharge instructions.

Emergency Laboratory Evaluations for Patients With Inborn Errors of Metabolism
Conclusions Patients with IEM frequently did not receive minimum laboratory evaluations for catabolic conditions. Measures to improve laboratory use in children with IEM should be undertaken.
