Brailsford's disease and Kohler's disease are two conditions of uncertain etiology affecting the navicular in adults and children, respectively. Kohler's disease has been universally agreed to have an excellent outcome in all cases. There have been no recorded cases of a child with Kohler's disease having persistent clinical and radiological abnormalities into adulthood and no cases of patients with Brailsford's disease having had abnormalities in childhood. This case report presents a teenage patient with osteochondritis of the navicular bone with symptoms that persisted into skeletal maturity.

High risk of drug-resistant tuberculosis in IGRA-negative contacts: should preventive treatment be considered?
Infection

Department of Clinical Infectious Diseases, Research Center Borstel, Leibniz Lung Center, Parkallee 35, Borstel, Germany.
Purpose: Deciding whether to provide preventive treatment to contacts of individuals with multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis is complex.
Methods: We present the diagnostic pathways, clinical course and outcome of tuberculosis treatment in eight siblings from a single family. Tuberculosis disease was diagnosed by Mycobacterium tuberculosis culture and molecular detection of M.

Introduction: The global rise of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing (ESBL-PE) challenges resource-limited countries with insufficient laboratory infrastructure. This study investigates fecal carriage and risk factors for ESBL-PE and carbapenemase-producing organisms among patients with urinary tract infection (UTI) in rural Tanzania.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at St.
Enriched phenotypes in rare variant carriers suggest pathogenic mechanisms in rare disease patients.

Background: The mechanistic pathways that give rise to the extreme symptoms exhibited by rare disease patients are complex, heterogeneous, and difficult to discern. Understanding these mechanisms is critical for developing treatments that address the underlying causes of diseases rather than merely the presenting symptoms. Moreover, the same dysfunctional series of interrelated symptoms implicated in rare recessive diseases may also lead to milder and potentially preventable symptoms in carriers in the general population.

Background: Surveillance cultures to identify patients colonized with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is recommended at pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission but doesn't capture other methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus and is resource intensive. We determined the prevalence and identified nasal microbiome predictors for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus colonization at the time of PICU admission.
Study Design: A prospective cohort study was performed in a 20-bed pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) between 2020-2021.
