A novel syndrome of silent rhinovirus-associated bronchoalveolitis in children with recurrent wheeze.

Background: Rhinovirus (RV) infections trigger wheeze episodes in children. Thus, understanding of the lung inflammatory response to RV in children with wheeze is important.

Objectives: This study sought to examine the associations of RV on bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) granulocyte patterns and biomarkers of inflammation with age in children with treatment-refractory, recurrent wheeze (n = 616).

Comparing Eosinophilic Esophagitis in a Black and Non-Black Pediatric Cohort.

Objectives: To compare presenting symptoms, comorbidities, disease, and treatment characteristics of a black pediatric eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) group to a non-black pediatric EoE group.

Methods: A retrospective chart review consisting of pediatric patients diagnosed with EoE between the years of 2010 and 2018 at a single urban pediatric hospital system comprising 143 black pediatric patients compared with 142 non-black pediatric patients with similar distribution of age and sex.

Results: Both groups were majority male, and the median age of diagnosis between the black and non-black group was 5.

Changes in intraocular pressure control in the first year after secondary intraocular lens implantation in children.

Purpose: To compare intraocular pressure (IOP) control before and during the first year after secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in children.

Methods: This was a retrospective chart review of children who received secondary IOL implantation. We analyzed IOP and antiglaucoma medications before and after implantation.
