Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy and therapeutic response of Hemoporfin photodynamic therapy (PDT) for infant facial port-wine stains (PWS).
Method: Hemoporfin PDT was used to treat 100 cases of infant facial PWS. After receiving Hemoporfin skin test, the cases with a negative skin test result were intravenously injected with Hemippofen (5 mg/kg) and irradiated under 532 nm LED green light. After treatment, a follow-up visit was paid through WeChat and Dermlink PWS consulting platform, in order to observe the therapeutic response and clinical efficacy.
Result: The follow-up visit showed an effective rate of 98%, including 85 cases of itching (85%), 100 cases of edema (100%), 89 cases of purpura-like change (89%), 33 cases of crust (33%), 2 cases of hyperpigmentation (2%) and 2 cases of scars (2%), with no allergy and other systematic adverse reaction.
Conclusion: Hemoporfin PDT has a high clinical efficacy and response rate in treating infant facial PWS, with slight adverse reactions.

Department of Infectious Diseases, St Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, TN, United States of America.
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.
