Background: Bacterial infections (BIs) are widespread in ICUs. The aims of this study were to assess compliance with antibiotic recommendations and factors associated with non-compliance.
Methods: We conducted an observational study in eight French Paediatric and Neonatal ICUs with an antimicrobial stewardship programme (ASP) organised once a week for the most part.
Article Synopsis
- * A retrospective study at Toulouse University Hospital from 2008 to 2018 found no decrease in NP incidence, with 56% of cases showing bacteria, mainly Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus.
- * The study observed changes in bacterial patterns related to the vaccine's introduction, highlighting an increase in S. pyogenes and S. aureus cases, indicating the need for ongoing research and monitoring of these changes.
To warn physicians and parents about the risk of macaque bites, we present two pediatric cases (a 4-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl) of bites sustained while on holiday. The young boy developed febrile dermohypodermitis and was hospitalized for IV antibiotic treatment. He received an initial antirabies vaccine while still in the holiday destination.

The purpose of this study was to determine wether there were differences in the clinical presentation and evolution of measles between adult and pediatric patients. We performed a retrospective study of adult and pediatric measles patients admitted to three tertiary-level university hospitals between January 2008 and May 2011.

Aim: The aims of this study were to describe the clinical, biological, and therapeutic characteristics of children bitten by vipers in France and to identify risk factors associated with severe envenomations.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted between 2001 and 2009 in the pediatric emergency department of a tertiary-level children hospital.
Purpose: Pediatric Kawasaki ocular involvement is dominated by bulbar conjunctival injection and mild, self-limited anterior uveitis. Posterior segment involvement is rare.
Methods/results: Case Report.
Objective: Describe the epidemiology of a pediatric resuscitation room (PRR).
Methods: A prospective study was performed in a pediatric emergency department (PED) from June 17, 2004 to March 19, 2006. Collected data were date and time of admission in the unit and, in the PRR, age and sex, geographical origin, mode of transportation, PED referral mode, diagnosis, evolution, and resuscitation techniques.
