Article Synopsis
- * It found that the RSV only group had lower pH and higher rates of bronchiolitis, while the RSV with viral agents group experienced longer hospital stays and more severe symptoms.
- * Additionally, cases with bacterial co-infections were generally younger and had different clinical markers, highlighting that combined viral and bacterial infections can worsen RSV severity and impact treatment approaches like High Flow Nasal Cannula-Oxygen Therapy.
Background: Despite the rapid development of pediatric intensive care medicine, there are still limited data in the literature regarding the follow-up of pediatric trauma patients in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs). In this study, we aim to evaluate our experience with children admitted and followed up with the diagnosis of trauma at our PICU.
Methods: We evaluated the retrospective data of 77 pediatric trauma patients who were admitted to the PICU at Sancaktepe Sehit Prof.
Objective: Mechanical ventilation (MV) remains the most challenging and important issue in the field of pediatrics. It is a life-saving, invasive procedure that supports the cardiovascular and respiratory systems until the underlying disease is cured. The aim of this study was to evaluate the demographic profile, clinical aspects, indications and complications of MV, and outcome of the children in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of a tertiary hospital in a developing country.

The aim of our study was to describe the localisation and variety of rash and to investigate whether presenting with rash at admission alters the clinical course of MIS-C.
Methods: This prospective, observational cohort study was conducted amongst children under 18 years of age who were admitted to our paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) between May 2020 and May 2021 with a possible diagnosis of MIS-C.
Article Synopsis
- COVID-19 primarily causes respiratory symptoms, but a small number of children can develop Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS-C) after infection, which can lead to neurological issues.
- A case was reported of a child with MIS-C who experienced cerebellar lesions and encephalopathy, showing worsening neurological symptoms like ataxia and dysarthria during the illness.
- This case is significant as it is the first documented instance of a child with MIS-C developing cerebellar lesions on MRI, indicating possible cerebellitis.
