Two different diseases in two adolescent girls with the same clinic: Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis.

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a complex hypersensitivity reaction observed in asthma as well as cystic fibrosis (CF) patients due to the colonization of the airways by Aspergillus fumigatus. While ABPA is most commonly observed in CF patients (2-9%), it is seen at a rate of 1-2% in patients diagnosed with asthma. ABPA is mostly seen in steroid dependent adult asthma patients and has rarely been reported in pediatric asthma patients.

Caregiver education before hospital discharge for children on home-invasive mechanical ventilation.

Children on home invasive mechanical ventilation necessitate specialized equipment, continuous monitoring, and multidisciplinary care. Transitioning these children from hospital to home care is complex, demanding careful planning. Guidelines and observational studies emphasize the importance of a standardized, comprehensive, and staged educational approach for caregiver education in discharge planning, yet program variations persist, lacking standardized checklists.

Psychosocial factors affecting the quality of life of parents who have children with home mechanical ventilation.

Introduction: Most children with medical complexity have to live with home mechanical ventilation (HMV). Undertaking the care of a child with HMV creates a psychosocial burden on parents. This study investigated the impact of selected potential determinants on the quality of life of parents who have children with HMV.

Childhood interstitial lung disease in Turkey: first data from the national registry.

The childhood interstitial lung diseases (chILD) Turkey registry (chILD-TR) was established in November 2021 to increase awareness of disease, and in collaboration with the centers to improve the diagnostic and treatment standards. Here, the first results of the chILD registry system were presented. In this prospective cohort study, data were collected using a data-entry software system.

Chronic Hepatitis B In Children: Case Series From A Tertiary Paediatric Hospital.

Background: Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) remains an important global public health problem. Seroconversion is highly correlated with favourable long-term outcome. There is no consensus on the treatment method, onset time and duration for paediatric CHB patients.

Diffuse alveolar haemorrhage in children: an international multicentre study.

Background: Paediatric diffuse alveolar haemorrhage (DAH) is a rare heterogeneous condition with limited knowledge on clinical presentation, treatment and outcome.

Methods: A retrospective, descriptive multicentre follow-up study initiated from the European network for translational research in children's and adult interstitial lung disease (Cost Action CA16125) and chILD-EU CRC (the European Research Collaboration for Children's Interstitial Lung Disease). Inclusion criteria were DAH of any cause diagnosed before the age of 18 years.

Risk factors for first nonscheduled hospital admissions of pediatric patients on home mechanical ventilation.

Objectives: The number of children on home mechanical ventilation (HMV) has increased. Understanding the reasons for nonscheduled hospital admissions during HMV is critical. This study aims to investigate the risk factors of first nonscheduled hospital admissions of pediatric patients on HMV.

A 2-Year-Old Boy With Hypoxemia, Pulmonary Hypertension, and Digital Clubbing.

A 2-year-old boy was referred to the Ankara University School of Medicine Children's Hospital with a history of recurrent respiratory distress and cyanosis since birth. His medical history was significant for premature birth at 31 weeks via cesarean section, as an infant of a diabetic mother. There was no parental consanguinity.
