Background: Rare factor deficiency (RFD) is characterized by a deficiency of factor (F)I, FII, FV, FVII, FX, FXI, FXII, FXIII, or a combined deficiency of FV+FVIII or vitamin K-dependent factors. The prevalence of RFD ranges from 1/1,000,000 to 3,000,000. Combined deficiencies of vitamin K-related factors have been described in 30 families worldwide, and these patients can present with a wide range of clinical symptoms, from mucocutaneous bleeding to life-threatening symptoms such as central nervous system and gastrointestinal bleeding.

Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the frequency of extraintestinal manifestations (EIM) in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and the correlation of EIM with disease activity index, disease type and disease age.

Methods: Records of patients who were under the 18 years of age and followed up with the diagnosis of IBD were included in the study. The demographic characteristics of the patients, the age of the patients, the sex of the patients, the type of disease and the age of the disease were recorded.

Although these policies are effective and necessary under certain conditions, resolving HCWs' hesitancies and misconceptions about vaccines is crucial.

Background: Understanding SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence among health care personnel is important to explore risk factors for transmission, develop elimination strategies and form a view on the necessity and frequency of surveillance in the future.

Methods: We enrolled 4927 health care personnel working in pediatric units at 32 hospitals from 7 different regions of Turkey in a study to determine SARS Co-V-2 seroprevalence after the first peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. A point of care serologic lateral flow rapid test kit for immunoglobulin (Ig)M/IgG was used.

Background: Real time shear-wave elastography (SWE) is a non-invasive imaging method which can quantitatively assess liver stiffness. Obesity and its complication are increasing with improving lifestyles in our century. We evaluated the performance of SWE for detecting liver changes (fatty liver, steatohepatitis) in obese and overweight children, in addition to this, we determined the diagnostic accuracy and clinical usefulness of SWE in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

This study aimed to determine the prevalence of infantile functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) based on Rome IV diagnostic criteria, and to determine the associated patient demographic and nutritional characteristics. A total of 2383 infants aged 1-12 months which were evaluated by 28 general pediatricians and pediatric gastroenterologists on the same day at nine tertiary care hospitals around Istanbul, Turkey, between November 2017 and March 2018, were included in the study. Patients included consulted the pediatric outpatient clinics because of any complaints, but not for vaccines and/or routine well child follow-ups as this is not part of the activities in the tertiary care hospitals.

Article Synopsis
  • Rhinosinusitis can lead to serious complications like preseptal cellulitis and meningitis, as shown in two case studies involving young children.
  • A 9-year-old girl and an 8-year-old boy both presented with fever and eye swelling, eventually diagnosed with meningitis after MRI and lumbar puncture showed sinus infection.
  • Both patients recovered after 14 days of antibiotic treatment, highlighting the rarity and danger of intracranial complications arising from sinusitis and the importance of using MRI for diagnosis.
