Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of oral vancomycin on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) using data from the Paediatric PSC Consortium.
- A retrospective cohort of 113 PSC-IBD patients was analyzed, comparing 70 treated with vancomycin to 210 untreated ones, focusing on clinical remission after one year.
- Results show vancomycin significantly improves odds of both clinical and endoscopic remission, highlighting the need for further randomized controlled trials to confirm these findings and assess safety and dosing.
Objectives: The aims of the study were to analyze the demographics, presentation, laboratory findings, and complications of pediatric Streptococcus pneumoniae meningitis since the introduction of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, to improve recognition, and to minimize patient morbidity and mortality.
Methods: This study used a retrospective analysis of pediatric pneumococcal meningitis cases at 2 tertiary healthcare systems in the Southeastern United States from 2010 to 2018.
Results: We describe 21 cases of pneumococcal meningitis.
