It is most associated with travel to endemic areas but can occur sporadically in non-endemic areas. While the disease is more commonly seen in adults, it can occur in children, and the presentation can be variable. It is clinically difficult to differentiate Typhoid from Paratyphoid without isolation of organism. We present a case of a 5-year-old boy, from Telangana state of South India, who presented with watery diarrhea of 8 to 10 episodes per day and abdominal discomfort for 5 days. At presentation child had some dehydration and very poor oral intake. Child did not respond to standard acute gastroenteritis with some dehydration management and continued to have persistent loose watery stools. Routine blood investigations, urine and stool microscopy revealed normal study. Further evaluation in the second week of illness revealed paratyphi on stool culture, and the child started to respondwithsensitive antibiotic cefotaximeinjections after 3 days of starting. However the child did not have other classical symptoms caused by paratyphi, such as fever, vomiting, or rose spots. Other classical investigations like blood culture and urine culture were negative. This case highlights the importance of considering paratyphoid as a potential cause for persistent diarrhea, even in young children, and the importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment with appropriate antibiotics, especially in the absence of classical clinical or laboratory findings.","PeriodicalId":393364,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Pediatric Research","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124570735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although Serratia marcescens has low virulence, it causes nosocomial infections and outbreaks in extremely immunocompromised or critically ill patients, particularly in intensive care units, particularly neonatal units. This pathogen causes a wide range of clinical symptoms in newborns, including keratitis, conjunctivitis, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, surgical site infections, sepsis, bloodstream infection, and meningitis. The bloodstream is the most commonly infected location, followed by the respiratory tract and the gastrointestinal tract. Serratia marcescens strains implicated in epidemic events have often proven to be multiresistant. Indeed, this species has an inherent resistance to multiple antibiotic families. Often, the particular source of infection cannot be determined. However, infected hands of healthcare professionals are thought to be a key vector for its spread. Infection of the central nervous system by this bacterium in the neonatal period leads to serious neurological sequelae with high mortality interest of early and adequate management. Through our work we report the clinical presentation, the positive diagnosis as well as the therapeutic management and the evolution of a newborn having presented a meningitis with Serratia marcescens complicated by ventriculitis.","PeriodicalId":393364,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Pediatric Research","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125610909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main goal of abdominal imaging in the context of a suspected pediatric abdominal mass is to confirm its presence, as nonneoplastic entities can mimic an abdominal mass, and to detect specific imaging findings that narrow the differential diagnosis. Computed Tomography (CT) is currently the most powerful and versatile imaging procedure for the evaluation of abdominal masses It plays an important role in characterizing the mass and extent of disease and assisting in presurgical planning [1]. \u0000Aim: The purpose of this article is to describe the role of CT imaging in evaluation of pediatric abdominal masses. \u0000Materials and Methods: Five case reports of abdominal masses in pediatric age group have been discussed. \u0000All the five patients underwent CT scan on Philips brilliance 256 slice machine. \u0000CT imaging findings with their histopathological diagnosis have been described. \u0000Case Summary: \u0000Case 1 :Wilm’s tumor \u0000Case 2 : Rhabdomyosarcoma \u0000Case 3 : Ewing’s sarcoma of sacrum \u0000Case 4 : Germ cell tumor of ovary \u0000Case 5 : Pelvic myxoid chondrosarcoma \u0000Conclusion: Abdominal masses in the pediatric age group include a spectrum of lesions of diverse origin and significance. CT imaging plays a key role in defining the characteristics and extent of mass lesions found in infants and children. Imaging with histopathological correlation can be very helpful in the management of the patient.","PeriodicalId":393364,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Pediatric Research","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125929617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Structured questionnaires were used to collect quantitative data, and a semi-structured interview guide was used to collect qualitative data. \u0000Results: Most (90.9%) of the respondents are of the view that their children’s health needs were catered for in the facility while only 0.2% of respondents strongly disagreed that their child’s health needs were catered for in the facility. The study indicates that the 1st most ranked important satisfactory factor to the client’s healthcare service quality is tangibility with an RII of 1.20 and the least ranked was priority and responsiveness of RII of 0.40 respectively. \u0000Conclusions: Child healthcare service patronage in TTH is generally high. Although the needs of the people are met, we recommend that the management of the hospital should prioritize medical and surgical conditions in the hospital by providing equipment and logistics.","PeriodicalId":393364,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Pediatric Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124324277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this report, we review some particularities of KD disease, especially coronary involvement, and highlight its aspects during the COVID-19 epidemic which saw the emergence of a syndrome named multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). Because of its many similarities with KD, MIS-C is often referred to as Kawasaki-like disease (KLD) or pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome temporally associated with SARS-CoV-2 (PIMS-TS).We report on a retrospective study on the different epidemiological, clinical, and evolutionary aspects of KD and the coronary involvement resulting from this disease before and after the pandemic. The study is based on the echocardiography records of the P4 Department at Rabat Children’s Hospital, from January 2002 to December 2021. A total of 379 patients were diagnosed with KD during that period. This includes 47 cases that were reported during the first year of the COVID-19 epidemic in Morocco (March 2020). Echocardiography results for our series show that cardiac complications wererelatively more frequent among KD patients during the COVID-19 period, perhaps because they were relatively older (67 months on average) than classic KD patients (37 months on average). However, all patients had a favorable outcome after treatment with a combination of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and aspirin. The few patients who did not respond to standard treatment received corticosteroids, and no mortality occurred. We conclude that as far as cardiac complications,KD, KLD, and MIS-C are the same core disease that is triggered under different conditions for different age groups.The emergence of the Sars-Cov-2 virus changed the epidemiologic profile of KD but not its treatment. Insights from this study would help in the decision to initiate targeted immunotherapy quickly and reduce the risk factors associated with KD.","PeriodicalId":393364,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Pediatric Research","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126487253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
