Bronchoscopy is an important tool in the study of the airway. Diagnostic and therapeutic uses are well described in the literature and standardisation of the technique is well defined. Most relevant publications on bronchoscopy come from Europe and the United States, and in some countries they are used as guidelines for local hospitals. In spite of the limited experience published from South America, and the scarcity of financial resources, important information and research pathways have been developed in paediatric bronchoscopy. The information in this review was compiled from local publications, case reports, review articles, brief reports and congress presentations to provide an overview and share the experience about bronchoscopy in South American children.

The skin serves as a crucial barrier against microbial invasion, but breaches in this barrier can lead to infectious skin diseases (ISD). ISD, including bacterial (BSD), fungal (FSD) and viral Skin Disease (VSD), pose significant global health challenges. Age-standardized and age specific incidence, prevalence, and lived with disability (YLDs) data for ISD were sourced from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (GBD 2021) and demographic data from the United Nations.

Background And Objectives: Accumulating pediatric efficacy and safety data on drug use is inherently challenging yet essential. This study aimed to analyze the frequency and compute the odds of pediatric drug-associated liver injury across age groups (early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescence) and therapeutic categories using adverse drug reactions (ADRs) reporting data spanning nearly two decades.
Methods: We analyzed the reports of suspected ADRs occurring in children and adolescents in the Taiwan National Adverse Drug Reaction Reporting System during the period from May 1998 until July 2017.
