OBJECTIVE
To document the incidence and early evolution of hyponatraemia (serum sodium < 136 mmol l(-1)) associated with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis in infants requiring intensive care.
METHODS
In a retrospective review over two winter seasons, 130 infants were admitted with
Acute bronchiolitis due to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can present with extrapulmonary manifestations, notably severe hyponatremia. Hyponatremia is caused by excess secretion of antidiuretic hormone and can be exacerbated by intravenous infusion of hypotonic solutions. We report three cases of
Human coronaviruses (HCoVs) are associated with a variety of clinical presentations in children, but their role in disease remains uncertain. The objective of our prospective study was to investigate HCoVs associations with various clinical presentations in hospitalized children up to 6 years of
We report two cases of symptomatic West syndrome with severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-induced bronchiolitis: one was a 9-month-old boy who was hospitalized for shock, and the other was a 15-month-old boy in pre-shock condition. Both cases needed mechanical ventilation for approximately 2
BACKGROUND
In 2010, intense focus was brought to bear on febrile convulsions in Australian children particularly in relation to influenza vaccination. Febrile convulsions are relatively common in infants and can lead to hospital admission and severe outcomes. We aimed to examine the relationships
BACKGROUND
The acute bronchiolitis in infants (ABI) constitutes a health problem, responsible for a congestion of the care system, particularly emergencies.
OBJECTIVE
This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and the frontline general practitioners' behavior, and describe the availability
OBJECTIVE
To determine the frequency of low serum zinc level in children presenting with febrile seizures at The Children's Hospital and the Institute of Child Health (CH/ICH) Multan.
METHODS
This is an observational cross sectional study conducted at the Department of Pediatric Medicine, The
Afebrile seizures associated with rotavirus gastroenteritis, respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis, influenza infection, asthma, blood transfusions, and intake of a number of drugs (including theophylline, cephalosporins, metronidazole, and acyclovir) with therapeutic drug levels are uncommonly
Fourteen infants with severe acute bronchiolitis were admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Tunis. This pathology represents 36% of severe bronchopulmonary infections admitted to this ICU. Their age ranged between 2 and 48 weeks (mean: 15 weeks). Eight infants had hypotrophy. Two infants had
OBJECTIVE
To characterize the relationship between hyponatremia (serum sodium <135 mEq/L) and clinical outcomes in children ages 1 month to 2 years admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) with bronchiolitis.
METHODS
Single-center retrospective cohort study comprising children who were
BACKGROUND
Lidocaine toxicity usually appears rapidly and is directly correlated with plasma concentrations of the drug.
METHODS
We report a case of a late neurologic toxicity occurring after instillation of lidocaine during fibre-optic bronchoscopy. A patient with bronchiolitis obliterans underwent
A 14-year-old girl who was known to have a seizure disorder and on lamotrigine treatment was admitted to the hospital, with a history of rash, fever and cough. Her condition deteriorated with clinical features suggestive of anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome (ACHS) complicated with
The modes of presentation and the management of acute respiratory failure in 11 infants with severe lower respiratory tract infections (due to respiratory syncytial virus in eight) are described. Progressive respiratory difficulties leading to exhaustion, peripheral circulatory collapse, recurrent
