Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is a disease of neonatal period usually manifest between the third and fourth weeks of life. Metabolic alkalosis and paradoxical aciduria are two common sequel of this entity. We report an unusual case of an 8-year-old boy who presented with recurrent, long-standing episodes of non-bilious vomiting and poor weight gain without any other metabolic derangement.

Aim: To mine and analyze adverse drug events (ADEs) signals of azithromycin use in children in the real world to inform the safety assessment of azithromycin use in children.
Methods: ADE reports from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) involving children (0-17 years) with azithromycin as the primary suspected drug from 2004 to early 2024 were extracted. ADEs were categorized using MedDRA, and signal detection was conducted using Reporting Odds Ratio (ROR) and Proportional Reporting Ratio (PRR).

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the long-term gastrointestinal effects of pyloromyotomy in children who had undergone this surgery for infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) from 2007 to 2017.
- A questionnaire, including the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory™ Gastrointestinal symptoms module, was completed by 199 participants, revealing that their GI symptoms scores were similar to those of healthy peers.
- The results suggest that long-term GI issues after pyloromyotomy are rare, indicating no significant difference in health outcomes between these children and healthy controls, which can help inform parents and lessen the need for extensive follow-up care.
