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.
Unlabelled: Unilateral congenital pulmonary lymphangiectasia (CPL) is an extremely rare disease of the pulmo nary lymphatic vessels.
Objective: to present a case of CPL in a premature newborn.
Clinical Case: premature male newborn with severe respiratory failure at 2 hours of extrauterine life was treated with exogenous surfactant, catecholamines and high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV).
Background: In patients with septic shock, excessive fluid administration can lead to increased morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between fluid balance, acute kidney injury and mortality in patients with septic shock.
Methods: A study of cases and controls was conducted in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.
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.
