Bronchopleural fistula management in a pediatric patient requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Bronchopleural fistula (BPF) is a connection between the bronchus and pleural cavity. It is associated with high morbidity and mortality and management of BPF has not been well described in the pediatric population. We describe a 2-year-old girl who presented with fever and increased work of breathing, found to have atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome and Streptococcus necrotizing pneumonia with development of persistent air leak due to bronchopleural fistulas requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

Racial/Ethnic Variation in Nasal Gene Expression of Transmembrane Serine Protease 2 (TMPRSS2).

This cross-sectional study used nasal epithelium collected in 2015-2018 to compare expression of , a facilitator of SARS-CoV-2 viral entry and spread, among Asian, Black, Latino, and White patients as well as patients of mixed race/ethnicity within a New York City health system.
