Bacteriuria With CTX-M-8 Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase-Producing in a Patient With Incomplete Kawasaki Disease.

We report the case of a 2-month-old infant with incomplete Kawasaki disease that presented as an apparent urinary tract infection. The patient's fever persisted despite antibiotic treatment. Intravenous immunoglobulin and aspirin therapy cured both the incomplete Kawasaki disease and bacterial pyuria.

Proteinuria caused by glomerular hypertension during adolescence associated with extremely premature birth: a report of two cases.

Background: Prematurity and low birth weight are risk factors for the future development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hypertension caused by fewer nephrons with limited filtration surface area. Few reports to date have evaluated their clinical backgrounds and pathological findings, including glomerular hypertension and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.

Case-diagnosis/treatment: This report describes two patients, a 15-year-old girl (patient 1), with a birth weight of 618 g and a gestational age of 24 weeks, and a 14-year-old boy (patient 2), with a birth weight of 842 g and a gestational age at 25 weeks.

Characteristics of and weaning strategies in tube-dependent children.

Background: Despite resolution of the symptoms of eating and/or swallowing disorders, prolonged tube feeding is maintained in some children. This study summarized the characteristics of children with tube dependence and investigated the causes of tube dependence.

Methods: Clinical and growth data were evaluated using medical records and referral forms for 35 tube-dependent children.
