A joint study was performed on 204 children who suffered separate febrile (FS) and afebrile seizures (aFS) within a short space of time to evaluate the risk of subsequent convulsive crises. The data obtained revealed frequent recurrence of seizures and high risk of subsequent convulsive afebrile crises in these children.

Introduction: Neutropenia is defined as an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 1500 cells/microL and may be discovered incidentally in an asymptomatic, afebrile patient.
Objective: This narrative review provides an approach to the afebrile emergency department patient with incidental neutropenia.

Rationale: Fungal endocarditis (FE) is a rare form of infective endocarditis. Compared to bacterial endocarditis, FE develops more slowly and insidiously, with nonspecific clinical manifestations, making diagnosis more challenging. Cases presenting with low back pain as the initial symptom are exceedingly rare, leading to a high risk of misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the outcomes of children who underwent Cohen ureteroneocystostomy (UNC) for vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) over a long-term follow-up period.
- A retrospective review of 241 patients revealed that 28.6% experienced lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) in adulthood, with various factors such as being female and having a history of bladder-bowel dysfunction influencing this outcome.
- Despite effective management of VUR, a small percentage of patients still faced complications like febrile urinary tract infections (UTIs) and hypertension, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and care even after surgical intervention.
