Background: Infection with Adenovirus in children may clinically resemble a bacterial infection in several aspects, including high and prolonged fever, and increased inflammation markers. We aimed to estimate the rate of antibiotics administration among hospitalized infants with Adenovirus infection and to evaluate its justification.
Methods: Included were hospitalized patients aged 2 months - 2 years who found positive for Adenovirus in PCR tests (Ct <36).
Aim: This study compared prevalence and characteristics of headaches between pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease and pediatric patients with transplanted kidneys and identify factors associated with headaches in the entire cohort.
Methods: We interviewed 87 children and adolescents with either chronic kidney disease or transplanted kidney, regarding the prevalence of headaches and their characteristics. We reviewed hospital charts for medical history and blood test.
Purpose Of Review: This work aimed to review the epidemiology, clinical criteria, and primary and secondary diagnoses of pediatric thunderclap headache and to compare to adult thunderclap headache.
Recent Findings: Thunderclap headache among children aged 6-18 years are rare; this headache presented in 0.08% of the patients admitted to a pediatric emergency department in a tertiary pediatric center.
Background: Adult abrupt severe non-traumatic headache (thunderclap) is often related to serious underlying etiologies such as subarachnoid hemorrhage. However, data are sparse regarding thunderclap headache in the pediatric population.
Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence, characteristics and causes of thunderclap headache in the pediatric and adolescent population, aged 6-18 years, presenting to a pediatric emergency department.
Objectives: To describe the characteristics and treatment of trigeminal neuralgia in children attending a dedicated pediatric headache clinic.
Background: Data on trigeminal neuralgia as a cause of headache are largely derived from adult studies. Little is known about the etiology, symptoms, treatment, and outcome of the disorder in children and adolescents.
