Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided intervention has been established as a safe, effective and minimally invasive procedure for various diseases in adults, but there have been limited reports in pediatric patients. Herein, we report our experience with successful EUS-guided drainage of an intraabdominal abscess in a 1-year-old infant concomitant with disseminated intravascular coagulation. The abscess was punctured via the stomach using a standard, convex-type echoendoscope, and the patient's condition improved after naso-cystic catheter placement. Although the clinical course was complicated by delayed hemorrhage from the puncture site, the bleeding was successfully managed by endoscopic hemostasis using a standard forward-viewing endoscope.

Background: Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is an inherited disease caused by low activity of tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase. Dental characteristics include premature loss of primary teeth, enlarged pulp chambers, and enamel hypoplasia. Although enzyme replacement therapy with asfotase alfa was approved in 2015, there are few reports about the dental outcomes of this treatment.

Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by immunodeficiency, leading to increased susceptibility to mycobacterial infections. Studies have identified several genes that are associated with MSMD in the interferon-gamma/interleukin (IL)-12/IL-23 signaling pathway. One of these genes is signal peptide peptidase-like 2A (SPPL2A), which is very rare, and defects in this gene have been reported only in 3 patients with MSMD.

In managed care settings, primates are susceptible to a variety of health complications. A comprehensive understanding of the causes of mortality and their association with management practices is essential for enhancing the welfare of managed care populations such as François' langurs (). However, literature addressing prevalent diseases or causes of death in such settings remains limited among François' langurs in managed care.

Appendicitis in children < 5 years old is uncommon and even less common in children < 1 year old. Symptoms of appendicitis can be non-specific and mimic other common pediatric diseases, causing delays in diagnosis. Without a timely diagnosis, young children with appendicitis are at risk of developing worsening disease, intra-abdominal abscess, perforation, and bacteremia.
