Sore throat represents one of the main causes of antibiotic overprescription in children. Its management is still a matter of debate, with countries considering streptococcal pharyngotonsillitis a benign and self-limiting condition and others advocating for its antibiotic treatment to prevent suppurative complications and acute rheumatic fever. Italian paediatricians frequently prescribe antibiotics on a clinical basis regardless of microbiological results.

- Seasonal allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (SAR) is a common problem for many people, especially in Western countries, and researchers studied its connection to different types of pollen and non-pollen allergens.
- The study looked at the IgE antibodies in patients' blood to see how these antibodies reacted to both grass pollen and a specific dust mite allergen.
- The results showed that having more IgE responses to dust mite proteins was linked to having higher overall IgE levels for pollens, but lower levels for the dust mite allergen itself.
Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common pediatric tumor and is currently treated by several types of therapies including chemotherapies, such as bortezomib treatment. However, resistance to bortezomib is frequently observed by mechanisms that remain to be deciphered. Bortezomib treatment leads to caspase activation and aggresome formation.

- * Three main management strategies emerged: one endorsing antibiotics to prevent acute rheumatic fever, another viewing pharyngitis as self-limiting, and a third adjusting treatment based on individual risk for rheumatic fever.
- * The findings highlight inconsistencies across international guidelines, suggesting the need for a unified global approach and further research on cost-effectiveness and local GABHS epidemiology.
During the complementary feeding period, any nutritional deficiencies may negatively impact infant growth and neurodevelopment. A healthy diet containing all essential nutrients is strongly recommended by the WHO during infancy. Because vegetarian diets are becoming increasingly popular in many industrialized countries, some parents ask the pediatrician for a vegetarian diet, partially or entirely free of animal-source foods, for their children from an early age.
