Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the advice given to parents about traveling to high altitudes with infants and to offer guidance on best practices.* -
- An online survey was conducted with 104 practitioners from the French Alps, gathering their recommendations on safe altitude limits for infants based on age and health conditions.* -
- Results showed a general agreement on recommended altitudes for infants, emphasizing cold protection, hydration, and caution against traveling if the infant has upper airway infections.*
Unlabelled: Rapid group A Streptococcus (GAS) antigen detection tests (RDT) have high diagnostic performance for the management of acute pharyngitis and are recommended before any antibiotic (ATB) prescription in France to reduce ATB use. The rate of general practitioners (GPs) using GAS RDT is low and decreasing. Our aims were to describe the reasons for pediatricians and GPs not using RDT or for prescribing ATB despite of a negative RDT.

Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis of original articles involving CDRs in children.
A medication-related cause must be sought when unusual symptoms occur. Topical treatments, including eye drops, whose side effects are more common in exposed children, need to be verified. We report here the cases of two children who developed systemic symptoms after the administration of atropine-based mydriatic eye drops.

We did a systematic review to estimate the risk of BM among various subgroups of young children with a first seizure in the context of fever, and to assess the utility of routine lumbar puncture (LP) in children with an apparent first FS.
Methods/principal Findings: MEDLINE, INIST, and the COCHRANE Library databases were searched from inception to December 2011 for published studies, supplemented by manual searches of bibliographies of potentially relevant articles and review articles.
