Background: Liver transplantation is the standard therapy for end-stage liver disease in pediatric patients with biliary atresia (BA), congenital and metabolic conditions, and for an unresectable malignant tumor like hepatoblastoma (HB). BA is the leading indication for pediatric liver transplantation, while HB is the most common childhood liver cancer. Despite improved outcomes through advanced surgical techniques and novel immunosuppression, pediatric liver transplantation (pLT) is complicated by post-transplant infections.

Background And Aim: Megaloblastic anemia (MA) is a rare pathology in childhood due, in the majority of cases, to a deficiency of folic acid and/or vitamin B12 (cobalamin). This study aims to determine the epidemiological, clinical, and paraclinical profiles of MA in children and to specify its etiologies, therapeutic modalities, and treatment responses.
Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive study of MA cases in children carried out in the General Pediatrics Department of the Hedi Chaker University Hospital of Sfax over a period of 42 years, from January 1979 to December 2021.

X-linked moesin-associated immunodeficiency (X-MAID) is a recently identified combined immunodeficiency caused by a mutation in the moesin () gene. It is characterized by cytopenias, hypogammaglobulinemia, poor immune response to vaccine antigens, and increased susceptibility to early-life infections. We report a patient with adult-onset neutropenia, lymphopenia, inadequate response to the pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23), and recurrent bacterial infections associated with a hemizygous deletion.
