Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated serum salicylic acid (SA) levels in children with Kawasaki disease (KD) after they were treated with moderate doses of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA).
- - Out of 142 patients analyzed, median SA levels decreased from 22 µg/mL during the acute phase to 15 µg/mL during recovery, with a notable percentage of patients having levels below detectable limits.
- - The findings showed that serum SA levels varied widely and were not linked to responsiveness to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment.
Article Synopsis
- - A 2-month-old girl experienced bacteremia from a rare pathogen after showing symptoms like diarrhea, poor oral intake, and vomiting; she was initially diagnosed with acute enterocolitis.
- - Blood cultures identified Gram-negative cocci, later confirmed as a specific strain through advanced genetic analysis methods, which was challenging with standard tests.
- - The infant was treated successfully with cefotaxime and diagnosed later with a non-IgE-mediated gastrointestinal food allergy, highlighting the need for detailed studies to understand the pathogenicity of this rare pathogen in humans.
Background: Neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency (NICCD) is a common form of neonatal jaundice. Histopathological examination of the liver in patients with NICCD typically shows fatty liver, steatohepatitis, and liver fibrosis. Jaundice and fatty liver often improve by 1 year of age.
