Objective: The economic burden of severe asthma (SA) in children is poorly described. We aimed to determine the healthcare costs of SA in children for the French national health insurance (NHI).
Methods: Children (6-18 years of age) with physician-confirmed diagnoses of SA or non-SA (NSA) were identified.
Aim: Familial Mediterranean fever is an inherited condition that is more prevalent in some regions of Turkey. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is the most common chronic arthritis of childhood. There is lack of studies on the frequency of mentioned conditions across different regions of Turkey.

- The study focused on analyzing the demographic and clinical characteristics of a large group of pediatric patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), specifically looking at MEFV mutation variations and treatment outcomes.
- It evaluated 708 FMF patients receiving colchicine treatment, revealing that abdominal pain and fever were the most common symptoms, and highlighting that some patients developed juvenile idiopathic arthritis in addition to FMF.
- The M694V mutation was the most prevalent in the cohort and was strongly linked to more severe manifestations of FMF, especially arthritis, and the study found a small percentage of patients resistant to colchicine treatment.

Rarely, however, the microorganism can cause soft tissue infections even in healthy subjects with a history of trauma.
