Management of Children With Uncomplicated Cellulitis in Emergency and Hospital Settings.

Objective: The aim of the study is to establish consensus recommendations on features used to determine the route of antibiotic administration and disposition for children with uncomplicated cellulitis.

Methods: Modified Delphi methodology was performed with 2 rounds of confidential surveys of Emergency medicine and hospital medicine (HM) providers at Lurie Children's Hospital to assess cellulitis management in children (ages 6 months-18 years) without signs of sepsis or abscess formation. Using a 9-point Likert scale, emergency medicine providers ranked features by perceived level of importance when deciding initial antibiotic route and HM providers ranked features on importance when transitioning to oral antibiotics.

Multiple Cranial Tuberculomas Without Meningitis in Two Infants With Miliary Tuberculosis.

Magnetic resonance imaging may detect central nervous system involvement even when cerebrospinal fluid is normal and tests to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis are negative. We describe 2 cases of miliary tuberculosis in young children with clinically unexpected central nervous system involvement. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain should be considered part of the initial diagnostic workup for miliary tuberculosis in very young children.

Chicken or the Egg: A Case Report of Endoscopic-Assisted Treatment of Concomitant Sagittal Craniosynostosis With Calcified Cephalohematoma.

Nonsyndromic craniosynostosis results in premature fusion of cranial sutures and is rarely found in the context of other craniofacial abnormalities. Here the authors present the case of a 3-month-old male infant with a rare presentation of sagittal craniosynostosis and concomitant calcified cephalohematoma repaired by endoscopic-assisted sagittal strip craniectomy with good cosmetic and functional outcomes. The authors discuss the advantages of endoscopic repair of craniosynostosis when found in the presence of a cephalohematoma and the need for further research to investigate a possible causal relationship between these 2 pathologies.
