Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and the Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index: Biomarkers in Infants with Bronchiolitis: a Cross-Sectional Study.

The use of a novel inflammatory indicator, the systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII), in pediatric patients with bronchiolitis remains unreported. Therefore, this study investigated the relationship between the SII and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in patients with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and non-RSV bronchiolitis and clinical severity prediction. This study analyzed the data of 155 patients aged <2 years who were hospitalized for viral bronchiolitis caused by RSV and/or other viral pathogens.

Infantile hemangiomatosis, a rare cause of high-output heart failure and pulmonary hypertension in the newborn baby: a case report.

Infantile hemangiomatosis is among the most common vascular tumours of childhood that is generally accepted as benign. Some cases may have multiple hemangiomas with organ involvement, especially of the liver. This case report will present the clinical and laboratory findings obtained during the treatment and follow-up of a 36-day-old female baby with hemangiomatosis with diffuse liver involvement, high-output heart failure, and pulmonary hypertension.

An overview of smell and taste problems in paediatric COVID-19 patients.

At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, fever and respiratory symptoms were the indications for virus testing in our hospital. As data have continued to accumulate worldwide, gastrointestinal, neurological, cardiovascular, cutaneous and ocular symptoms have been reported for confirmed COVID-19 cases. There have been few case reports on problems with taste and smell in paediatric COVID-19.

The epidemiology and economic impact of varicella-related hospitalizations in Turkey from 2008 to 2010: a nationwide survey during the pre-vaccine era (VARICOMP study).

Varicella can cause complications that are potentially serious and require hospitalization. Our current understanding of the causes and incidence of varicella-related hospitalization in Turkey is limited and sufficiently accurate epidemiological and economical information is lacking. The aim of this study was to estimate the annual incidence of varicella-related hospitalizations, describe the complications, and estimate the annual mortality and cost of varicella in children.
