In this work we presented a retrospective analysis of Salmonella infections in 163 children aged between 0-36 months. The children were treated in IV Department of Pediatrics at Medical University of Silesia (Poland) in years 1987-1998. We analyzed: clinical course, dependence between age of the patients and the type of Salmonella, number of infections and their seasonal incidence during 12 years of observation. These relations were compared with the group of 17 children with Salmonella infections treated in the Department of Pediatrics GCZDzM in Katowice in 2001.

Background: Traditional childhood uvulectomy (TCU) is an unregulated cultural practice associated with significant health risks, including infections, anemia, aspiration, and oral or pharyngeal injuries. The reuse of unsafe tools such as blades, needles, or thread loops exacerbates the spread of infectious diseases like HIV and hepatitis B. Despite its clinical significance, the pooled prevalence and associated factors of TCU have not been adequately examined through systematic reviews or meta-analyses.
