This study reviews our experience with paediatric splenic trauma in a major trauma centre in South Africa. We reviewed the management and outcomes of 66 paediatric patients and concluded that selective non-operative management of paediatric splenic trauma can be undertaken successfully in a middle-income country such as South Africa. The grade of splenic injury itself is rarely the sole determinant of operative or non-operative treatment and clinical outcome.

Circulating Tumor DNA Combining with Imaging Analysis for Lesion Detection of Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis in Children.
Children (Basel)
November 2024
Department of Pediatrics, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430030, China.
Background: The detection of mutations from circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) represents a promising enrichment technique. In this retrospective study, the significance of ctDNA and imaging in Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) monitoring was first examined, and the broader role of ctDNA in monitoring LCH was additionally explored.
Methods: First, data visualization and survival analysis models were used to generalize the concordance between cfBRAF molecular response and radiographic response on clinical outcomes.

BMC Pediatr
January 2025
Department of Pediatrics, Huazhong University of Science and Technology Union Shenzhen Hospital, Shenzhen, China.
Background: Generalized lymphatic anomaly (GLA) is a rare congenital lymphatic malformation (LM) characterized by multiple infiltrating lymphangiomas in various tissues. Owing to its rarity, information on this disease is obtained mainly through case reports, leading to delayed diagnosis. In this study, we reported a case of generalized lymphatic anomaly in a pediatric patient manifesting as hemorrhagic pleural effusion.
