The primary purpose of treating chronic hepatitis C (HCV) is to prevent the development of liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and cancer. In the last decade, direct-acting antiviral medicine (DAA) has been approved to treat children with HCV. This treatment has a higher efficacy, shorter duration, and milder side effects than the previously approved treatment.

Relapse of Neonatal Meningitis: Did We Miss Something at First?

Relapse of neonatal meningitis is most commonly caused by . Management to prevent relapse varies and evidence is limited. We present four cases of relapsing neonatal meningitis in Denmark in 2016-2017 and review the current literature on this subject.

Paediatric hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus infections: An observational study of a Danish cohort.

Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics in children with either chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in Denmark.

Methods: In this observational study, children and adolescents with either chronic HBV or HCV infection followed at the largest paediatric departments in Denmark between 2001 and 2013 were included. Data collection included as well epidemiological data as clinical data like virus genotype, viral load, serological markers, liver biochemistry, liver elastography and histology if available.

Hospital admission among HIV-exposed uninfected children compared with HIV-unexposed children.

Objective: The main objective of this study was, on a national level, to investigate the risk of in-hospital admissions and use of antibiotics during the first 4 years of life among HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU) children compared with a matched control group of HIV-unexposed children.

Design: A nationwide register-based cohort study.

Methods: All HEU children born in Denmark from 2000 to 2012 were individually matched to five HIV-unexposed controls.

[Hepatitis B infection in children].

Chronic hepatitis B (HBV) infection is seen in 400 million persons worldwide. HBV is transmitted vertically or horizontally by infected blood and body fluids. An effective vaccine exists.

[Hepatitis C infection in children].

Chronic hepatitis C (HCV) infection has a prevalence of 2-3% worldwide. The vertical transmission rate is approximately 5%. There is no evidence to recommend abstinence from breastfeeding or elective C-section to prevent transmission.

[Botulism in an infant].

We describe a case of botulism in a 4.5 month-old girl with complete recovery after intravenous administration of botulism immune globulin. The girl was admitted for 19 days during which supplementary nasogastric feeding was necessary.

Improved metabolic outcome in a Danish diabetic paediatric population aged 0-18 yr: results from a nationwide continuous Registration.

The objective of the present study was to describe the changes in glycaemic control based on data from the nationwide Danish Registry of Childhood Diabetes with valid haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) readings centrally analysed between 1996 and 2006. The glycaemic control was assessed using generalized linear mixed models. Centre, age, diabetes duration, ethnicity, sex, self-monitoring of blood glucose, insulin regimens and hypoglycaemia was tested as explanatory variables.
