Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to explore the link between the minimum lymphocyte count (Ly_Min) after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass and the risk of infections within the first 30 days post-surgery.
- Researchers analyzed data from 1,428 pediatric cardiac surgeries and found that 8% of patients developed infections, with a significant correlation between lower Ly_Min and increased infection risk.
- The findings suggest that a Ly_Min below 1.105 x 10^9/L in the first postoperative day is a strong predictor of infections, highlighting the importance of monitoring lymphocyte levels in pediatric patients after surgery.
Regarding nirsevimab immunization status, among 1085 infants hospitalized for bronchiolitis, the odds of hospitalization for respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis were 4.7 times higher for nonimmunized children. Immunized infants were less likely to require oxygen supplementation (20.

These guidelines are rarely applied to high-risk children's neutropenia.
Material And Methods: We retrospectively included all consecutive FUO episodes occurring during profound neutropenia ≥ 10 days in children in our institution.
