Airway obstruction in two children with congenital central hypoventilation syndrome and review of the literature
Arch Pediatr. 2024 Mar 26:S0929-693X(24)00027-7. doi: 10.1016/j.arcped.2023.12.002. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCongenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is an autosomal dominant disease that is caused by heterozygous mutations in the paired-like homeobox 2B gene (PHOX2B). Madani et al. described an abnormally high degree of not only central apnea but also obstructive and mixed apnea in Phox2b27Ala/+newborn mice. Newborns with CCHS must undergo polysomnography for obstructive respiratory events in order to guide the optimal ventilation strategy if oxygen desaturation, bradycardia, and malaise persist under nonin...

Treatment of pediatric heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia 7 years after the EAS recommendations: Real-world results from a large French cohort
CONCLUSION: Pediatric patients with FH followed up in specialist lipid clinics in France receive late treatment, undertreatment, or suboptimal treatment and half of them do not reach the therapeutic LDL-C goal. Finding a more efficient framework for linking scientific evidence to clinical practice is needed.PMID:38538465 | DOI:10.1016/j.arcped.2024.01.004 (Source: Archives de Pediatrie)

Evaluation of vitamin D levels in children and adolescents after the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic: 1-year results of a secondary-level state hospital
CONCLUSIONS: Vitamin D deficiency remains a serious public health problem. Since the most important production source is exposure to the sun, it must be kept in mind that vitamin D should be supported during lockdown pandemic processes.PMID:38538466 | DOI:10.1016/j.arcped.2023.11.001 (Source: Archives de Pediatrie)

A rare case of lysozyme-induced anaphylaxis in a child with egg allergy
We report an unusual case of anaphylaxis induced by the lysozyme-containing over-the-counter-drug Lysopaine®, which contains 20 mg lysozyme hydrochloride and 1.5 mg cetylpyridinium chloride, in a 9-year-old child with allergy to hen's egg as well as multiple IgE-mediated food allergies. The involvement of lysozyme was confirmed by positive skin prick tests for Lysopaine® and the presence of specific IgE against lysozyme. Our case highlights the importance of properly educating allergic patients to recognize allergens, even minor ones. Despite the presence of lysozyme in various food and drug products, it is not necessari...

Risk factors for unexpected infant death among very premature infants in France
CONCLUSION: This study confirms prematurity as a risk factor for SUID with no difference in the SUID-specific risk factors studied except for breastfeeding and socioeconomic status of the fathers. VPI and FTI died at similar chronological ages with a high proportion of infants dying in prone position. These results argue for reinforcement of prevention strategies in cases of prematurity.PMID:38538469 | DOI:10.1016/j.arcped.2023.12.003 (Source: Archives de Pediatrie)

Diagnosis and management of congenital hypopituitarism in children
This article presents recommendations for hormone replacement therapy for each of the respective deficient axes. Lifelong follow-up with an endocrinologist is required, including in adulthood, with multidisciplinary management for patients with syndromic forms or comorbidities. Treatment objectives include alleviating symptoms, preventing comorbidities and acute complications, and optimal social and educational integration.PMID:38538470 | DOI:10.1016/j.arcped.2024.01.003 (Source: Archives de Pediatrie)

Effects of the use of a cocoon on the autonomic, motor, and regulatory systems in preterm newborns: Randomized clinical trial
CONCLUSION: The simulation of a cocoon, utilizing an orthopedic tubular mesh, when applied to preterm newborns admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit can contribute to maintaining low levels of stress, without altering variables of the autonomous, motor, and regulatory systems.PMID:38538471 | DOI:10.1016/j.arcped.2024.01.005 (Source: Archives de Pediatrie)

Impact of quarantine on the experience and management of children with learning disabilities or attention deficit disorders with or without hyperactivity: A retrospective observational study
CONCLUSION: The period of confinement was experienced relatively well by the children, and the rehabilitative management seemed to have been minimally impacted during this period. The therapeutic education of children, their parents, and also teachers is a major axis of improvement for better care and support of children with these disorders.PMID:38538472 | DOI:10.1016/j.arcped.2023.10.011 (Source: Archives de Pediatrie)

The pediatric intensive care unit in France: What happens afterwards?

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlthough pediatric post-intensive care syndrome is frequent and impacts the child's quality of life in various aspects, there are currently no guidelines regarding post-pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) follow-up. The aim of this study was to describe post-PICU follow-up in France. Among the 37 French PICUs, only 67 % had a consultation service, mostly performed by pediatric intensivists (95 %). Post-intensive care evaluation was the main objective for 46 % of these centers, whereas others focused on specifi...

Bordetella holmesii: Causative agent of pertussis
Arch Pediatr. 2024 Mar 14:S0929-693X(24)00030-7. doi: 10.1016/j.arcped.2023.10.012. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBordetella holmesii is a bacterium recently recognized in 1995. It is a gram-negative coccobacillus that can cause pertussis-like symptoms in humans as well as invasive infections. It is often confused with Bordetella pertussis because routine diagnostic tests for whooping cough are not species-specific. The prevalence of B. holmesii as a cause of pertussis has increased in several countries. Therefore, B. holmesii assays are important for determining the epidemiology of pertussis, for the choice of an effectiv...
