Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate hearing outcomes at 24 months for infants with mild congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) infection, comparing those who received antiviral treatment to those who did not.
- Utilizing data from the European Registry of Children with cCMV, researchers included infants diagnosed with cCMV early in life, who had normal physical exams and mild imaging findings.
- Results showed that 34.7% of the 196 participants received antiviral treatment, but there was no significant difference in hearing loss prevalence between treated (4.6%) and untreated groups (6.3%) after two years.
Globalisation and population movement have led to an increasing number of migrant children residing in areas non-endemic for schistosomiasis. However, diagnosing and managing schistosomiasis in children remain controversial. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of schistosomiasis in migrant children and to describe the diagnostic approach and management strategies, including long-term follow-up, to explore the potential role of serological tests in evaluating treatment response.

- A study reports six cases of disseminated or pulmonary infections in five children, mostly caused by Mycobacterium avium complex.
- Out of the five patients, four died, with two deaths directly linked to the mycobacterial infections.
Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the role of T-lymphocyte immune responses in newborns with congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection (cCMV) and their potential association with the development of long-term sequelae.
Study Design: A multicenter, prospective study from 2017 to 2022 was conducted across 8 hospitals in Spain. Blood samples were collected within the first month of life from neonates diagnosed with cCMV.
