Factors associated with all-cause mortality in pediatric invasive fungal rhinosinusitis.

Introduction: Pediatric invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (PIFR) is a potentially lethal infection seen in immunocompromised pediatric patients. Even with timely treatments, mortality ranges between 18 and 80% of the cases.

Objective: To analyze the factors associated with all-cause mortality in pediatric patients with acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis.

Clinical and sociodemographic characteristics associated with disease severity in juvenile recurrent respiratory papillomatosis: A study of 104 patients in a tertiary care pediatric hospital.

Background: Juvenile recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JRRP) is generally aggressive and with a high recurrence rate. Currently, there is no definite curative treatment for JRRP. Therefore, a greater understanding of the aspects that influence the severity and prognosis of the disease is required.
