The severity of the first occurrence of bronchiolitis increased the risk of developing asthma symptoms.

Aim: The relationship between bronchiolitis and asthma is complex. We assessed whether patients admitted to a paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) with bronchiolitis had a greater risk of developing asthma than patients admitted to a paediatric ward.

Methods: We retrospectively included children under 1 year of age, who were hospitalised for bronchiolitis for the first time at the University Hospital of Caen, France, between 2010 and 2014.

Therapeutic drug monitoring of intravenous anti-tuberculous therapy: management of an 8-month-old child with tuberculous meningitis.

Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is now uncommon in high-income countries. It is the most severe form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis with high rates of mortality and morbidity if diagnosis and treatment are delayed. An 8-month-old girl with TBM who was treated with high-dose intravenous anti-tuberculous drugs (ATD) is reported.
