Paths of causal influence from prenatal inflammation and preterm gestation to childhood asthma symptoms.

: Long-lasting respiratory symptoms have a huge impact on the quality of life in prematurely born children. The aim was to investigate paths of assumed causality leading from foetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS) to asthma symptoms in preterms. : Demographic, antenatal, delivery and outcome data were collected from 262 infants with less than 32 completed weeks of gestational age over a 10-year period in a prospective cohort study.

Role of magnetic resonance imaging and scintigraphy in the diagnosis and follow-up of osteomyelitis in cat-scratch disease.

Cat-scratch disease (CSD) is a self-limiting infectious disease characterised with lymphadenopathy in a patient with a history of cat contact. Cases of bone involvement in patients with CSD are rare. We reported a case of 11-year-old boy with prolonged intermittent fever, inguinal lymphadenopathy and osteomyelitis.
