Article Synopsis
  • Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a severe post-COVID-19 condition characterized by fever, widespread inflammation, and possible organ failure, resembling other syndromes like Kawasaki disease.
  • Two case studies report children with MIS-C presenting with severe symptoms such as respiratory distress and refractory shock; one tested positive for COVID-19 antibodies while the other did not.
  • Early recognition of MIS-C's atypical features is crucial for effective treatment and improving patient outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzed clinical samples from 22 states in Mexico between 2004 and 2011 to examine the strains responsible for infections.
  • A significant 66% of the isolated 144 strains were found to belong to the pandemic O3:K6 clone, indicating widespread presence across most states.
  • Most strains showed high resistance to ampicillin, but low multidrug resistance; consistent surveillance is deemed essential for public health and to prevent future outbreaks.

Introduction: The SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, has spread quickly worldwide, causing millions of cases and thousands of deaths. Some risk factors in the general population are related to the development of severe COVID-19 or death, but in pregnant women and neonates, the information is limited.

Objective: To determine the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of pregnant women and neonates diagnosed with COVID-19 by RT-PCR and serological tests, and analyze the relationship between the influenza vaccination and COVID-19 symptoms in infected pregnant women in Sinaloa state.

is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria, some of which can cause serious infectious diseases. Vibrio infections are associated with the consumption of contaminated food and classified in infections and non-cholera infections. In the present study, we investigate whether bovine lactoferrin (bLF) and several synthetic peptides corresponding to bLF sequences, are able to inhibit the growth or have bactericidal effect against and other species.

Article Synopsis
  • Pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis is an interstitial lung disease characterized by the buildup of specific cells in the lungs, which can lead to issues like spontaneous pneumothorax due to lung tissue damage and cyst formation.
  • A case study of a 2-year-old boy showed recurrent bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax with CT scans revealing significant lung damage, fibrosis, and cysts, leading to a confirmed diagnosis.
  • The child was treated with prednisone and etoposide, resulting in a positive clinical response and improvements noted in a follow-up CT scan.
