Background: The study aims to obtain the real-world safety profile of tetracyclines in children younger than 8 years old and provide reference for clinical drug applications.

Research Design And Methods: We made a disproportionality analysis of the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database through OpenVigil 2 and conducted a review of case reports regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs) of tetracyclines in children younger than 8-year-old.

Results: FAERS analysis identified 32 ADRs of tetracyclines in children younger than 8-year-old. Respiratory, thoracic, and mediastinal disorders contained the most frequent ADRs among all system organ classes (SOCs). The top three positive signals with the highest proportional reporting ratio (PRR) were laryngeal injury, Horner's syndrome and methaemoglobinaemia. Sixteen published tetracyclines-associated cases in children younger than 8-year-old were identified in the literature, concentrating in three SOCs. Gastrointestinal disorders were the most commonly reported cases ( = 12).

Conclusions: Several ADRs were newly reported only in children younger than 8-year-old in our research, including Horner's syndrome and methemoglobinemia. We recommended that the clinical practitioners should pay attention to the ADRs both in instruction and beyond the label. Take close care of children and timely intervene when the treatment is inevitable.

NRF2 Antioxidant Response and Interferon-Stimulated Genes Are Differentially Expressed in SARS-CoV-2-Positive Young Subjects.

Immun Inflamm Dis

Laboratory Affiliated to Istituto Pasteur Italia-Fondazione Cenci Bolognetti, Department of Public Health and Infectious Diseases, Sapienza University, Rome, Italy.

Background: Several respiratory viruses, including Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), suppress nuclear factor-E2-related factor-2 (NRF2) antioxidant response, generating oxidative stress conditions to its advantage. NRF2 has also been reported to regulate the innate immune response through the inhibition of the interferon (IFN) pathway. However, its modulation in younger individuals and its correlation with the IFN response remain to be elucidated.
