Community-Acquired Acinetobacter baumanii Bacteremia in a 1-Month-Old Full-Term Baby.

Community-acquired Acinteobacter baumanii (AB) infection in the pediatric population is a rare entity in developed countries. Most of the cases in literature have been reported from India and Pakistan. Few cases of pediatric AB infection have been reported in the U.

The Present State of Understanding of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) Associated with SARS-CoV-2 Infection - A Comprehensive Review of the Current Literature.

The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has (as of Oct. 14, 2020) infected approximately 38 million people worldwide. The most feared sequelae of COVID-19 in adults are severe, often fatal, lung disease, venous thromboembolic disease, cerebrovascular disease, and multiple organ system failure.

Coronavirus infectious disease (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was deemed a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization in February 2020. The U.S.

Coma and Respiratory Failure in a 2-Year-Old Child After Accidental Overdose of Baclofen.

Baclofen (Lioresal) is a derivative of gamma-aminobutyric acid and is used in both adults and children mainly for symptomatic treatment of muscle spasticity. It is absorbed completely from the gastrointestinal tract, metabolized minimally in the liver and is excreted almost unchanged by the kidneys. Being lipophilic it can cross the blood-brain barrier easily.

Endoscopic Resection of a Pediatric Carcinoid Lung Tumor Presenting as Persistent Pneumonia.

Primary lung tumors are very rare in children and constitute only 0.2 percent of all pediatric malignancies. Carcinoids are the most common primary pediatric lung tumor and account for 80 percent of all primary malignant bronchial tumors.

Wandering Spleen in a 1-Year-Old Girl: An Enigmatic Journey to Find the Hiding Necrotic Spleen.

Wandering spleen, otherwise known as ectopic spleen, is a rare congenital or acquired condition, especially in pediatric patients, characterized by elongated splenic pedicle due to congenital or acquired laxity of suspensory splenic ligaments resulting in exaggerated splenic mobility that predisposes it to torsion and often to subsequent infarction. We present a case of a 1-year old Caucasian female who presented with acute abdomen showing infarcted ectopic spleen on imaging. Most patients with infarcted spleen require surgery as the standard intervention.

An Unusual Case of Clostridium Difficile Colitis and Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome in a Teenager.

The term hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) refers to a heterogenous group of disorders arising from an initial endothelial cell injury with fibrin and platelet thrombi formation in the vasculature, leading to severe organ damage resulting in the well-known triad of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and kidney disease. The majority of pediatric cases (90 percent) of HUS are caused by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC-HUS) or Shigella dysenteriae and rarely with Streptococcus pneumoniae (Pneumococcal-HUS). Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) constitute only 5 percent of all HUS cases and are mediated by dysregulation of complement proteins.
