Introduction: Medical simulation is a crucial educational tool for training healthcare professionals, renowned for its effectiveness in learning. However, its application as an assessment tool remains uncommon.

Aim: To evaluate simulation as a tool for assessing training in the management of COVID-19 patients.

Epidemiological, Bacteriological, and Evolutive Features of Children Hospitalized for Infective Endocarditis in a Tertiary Tunisian Pediatric Department.

Background: Infective endocarditis is a rare condition in childhood, and there is limited data on this disease in Tunisia.

Objective: This study aims to analyze the epidemiological profile, bacteriological data, and prognosis of infective endocarditis in children admitted to the pediatric department of a University Hospital in Tunisia.

Methods: We conducted a comparative cross-sectional study in the pediatric department of Sahloul Teaching Hospital in Sousse, a tertiary referral hospital in Tunisia.

Clinical and radiological findings of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in children: About 16 children hospitalized in the pediatric department of a Tunisian tertiary care hospital.

Background: Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinico-radiological entity most frequently described in young- or middle-aged adults with a rare occurrence among children.

Aim: To determine the clinical, radiological features and outcome of PRES in children admitted to a Tunisian tertiary care pediatric department.

Methods: we retrospectively reviewed records of all children under 18 years old diagnosed with PRES and admitted to the PICU of the Pediatric department of Sahloul University Hospital from January 2000 to August 2021.

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis: A retrospective study of 20 children in a pediatrics department in Tunisia.

Background: Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is an inflammatory demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system. Little information is available about the clinical and neuroradiological profile or the follow-up of this disease in Tunisian children.

Aim: To determine the clinical, laboratory, and radiological features and the outcome of ADEM in children admitted to the pediatrics department of a university hospital in Tunisia.

A fatal toxic shock-like syndrome post COVID-19 infection in a child.

Background: Children affected by Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) showed various manifestations. Some of them were severe cases presenting with multi-system inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) causing multiple organ dysfunction.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 12-year-old girl with recent COVID-19 infection who presented with persistent fever, abdominal pain and other symptoms that meet the definition of MIS-C.

Success of anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody treatment for severe autoimmune hemolytic anemia caused by warm-reactive immunoglobulin A, immunoglobulin G, and immunoglobulin M autoantibodies in a child: a case report.

Background: Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is rare in children. First-line therapies for this disease consist of corticosteroids and intravenously administered immunoglobulin that are effective in most patients. However, a small proportion of cases (5 to 10%) is refractory to these therapies and may represent a medical emergency, especially when hemolysis is due to warm immunoglobulin M.

Ellis van Creveld syndrome in a Tunisian child revealed by an Eisenmenger syndrome.

Ellis-van Creveld syndrome (EvC) is an autosomal recessive inherited disease resulting from mutations in EVC1 or EVC2. Patients with this condition normally have chondrodysplasia, postaxial polydactyly, ectodermal dysplasia and congenital heart defects. We report the case of a 13-year-old Tunisian child who was admitted for cyanosis and acute heart failure.
