Acute focal bacterial nephritis (AFBN) without pyuria is a subtype of urinary tract infection in children, often leading to diagnostic challenges. The clinical characteristics of 6 children diagnosed with AFBN, who exhibited an absence of pyuria, were retrospectively summarized and compared with the control group consisting of 49 hospitalized AFBN children with pyuria. The cases of AFBN without pyuria presented with more severe inflammatory responses and were predisposed to complications, such as sepsis and neurological abnormalities.

Article Synopsis
- Norovirus is a leading cause of diarrhea worldwide, and this study focused on its genetic characteristics in infants and children from Beijing over a three-year period (2010-2012).
- Out of 1128 stool samples, 16.1% tested positive for norovirus, with the most common genotype being GII.4, followed by GII.3; a new variant, GII.4 Sydney_2012, also emerged during the study.
- The research found significant genetic diversity, including mismatched genotypes between polymerase and capsid genes in about half of the positive samples, indicating frequent evolutionary changes and the emergence of novel recombinants like GII.P22/GII.5.
