The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical presentation, the diagnostic challenges, and the outcomes of haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) in children assessed at Mukalla Hospital, Yemen. Data from 20 medical records of HLH patients admitted between January 2010 and May 2022 were retrospectively analysed. The median age at presentation was 3.5 ± 5.1 years. Male: female ratio was 1:1. The median time for referral to the hospital was 30 ± 64 days. The most common clinical manifestations were fever and pallor in 95% of cases, and splenomegaly (85%). Hepatomegaly, chest, renal and neurological manifestations were detected in 80%, 45%, 15% and 20% of cases, respectively. Bone marrow haemophagocytosis was detected in 60% of cases. Sixteen patients fulfilled the HLH diagnostic criteria, and 11 patients (55%) received the HLH 2004 protocol. Out of the 20 patients, three (15%) patients are alive. Fourteen patients died, with overall mortality of 82.35%. All mortalities were due to HLH disease with multi-organ failure. Relapse was noticed in five patients either during treatment or after full recovery. pHLH is a challenging emergency with a high mortality rate. High clinical suspicion is essential for early detection and intervention to improve the prognosis.","PeriodicalId":74884,"journal":{"name":"Sudanese journal of paediatrics","volume":"23 2","pages":"199-213"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10876277/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139914230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nigeria is a sub-Saharan African country which is among the countries seriously affected by noma. In Nigeria, noma has been classified as a priority disease. However, only very little attention has been focused on noma research in Nigeria, unlike many other priority diseases. This study conducted an informetric analysis of research outputs on noma in Nigeria, using the PubMed database - a world-leading and authoritative database of medical literature. This study revealed that only 26 PubMed-indexed publications on noma (PONs), published between January 1990 and September 2021, were available. A trend analysis of these PONs showed that the average output (outputs from 1999 to 2020 = 23) rate per year (from 1990 to 2020 [31 years]) was 0.74 (23/31). Sokoto (n = 11), Oyo (n = 4) and Kebbi (n = 3) were the top three Nigerian states surveyed on noma in the included PONs. Only 12 publications had international co-authors, of which only few publications had co-authors affiliated with institutions in other African countries: South Africa - 5 publications; and Rwanda - 2 publications. Only two publications were funded. Also, the top five prolific Nigerian authors on noma in Nigeria were affiliated with Noma Children Hospital, Sokoto State, Nigeria. In conclusion, PONs by Nigerian authors is so meagre in quantity. This low output is an issue of medical concern. More research focused on noma in Nigeria is needed through funding and other research capacity-strengthening measures.","PeriodicalId":74884,"journal":{"name":"Sudanese journal of paediatrics","volume":"23 1","pages":"42-59"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10468626/pdf/sjp-23-42.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10524604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study was done to identify the stress levels of parents of admitted neonates and the difficulties encountered in neonatal care and follow-up during the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown. The Parental Stressor Scale (PSS:NICU) and Perceived Stress Scale (PeSS) were used to identify the stress levels of parents of admitted neonates. Online survey form with a structured questionnaire comprising PeSS and NICU:PSS was sent through messaging app (Google form) after informed consent. PSS score of <14 was considered low stress, 14-26 moderate and >26 as high. A total of 118 parental responses (mother /father in 26, both in 46) for 72 admitted neonates, were obtained. The mean (SD) PeSS score was 19.7 (5.8%) and 92 (78%) had moderate stress while 11 (9%) had high stress. In NICU:PSS, sights-sounds and parental role had more median scores: 2.25 (1-3.75) and 2.21 (1-3.57), respectively. Maternal and paternal NICU:PSS (p-0.67) and PeSS (p-0.056) scores were not statistically different. Keeping nil per oral, invasive ventilation, culture-positive sepsis, fathers' transport difficulty and longer duration of mothers' and neonates' hospital stay was associated with increased NICU: PSS scores.

Here, we are reporting the first data on this aspect from Sudanese subjects. Patients labelled as having CPP in Gafaar Ibnauf Children's Hospital and Soba University Hospital Endocrinology Clinics from January 2006 to 2016 are included in a descriptive hospital-based study which was conducted over 10 years in these two main paediatric endocrinology centres. Records of all patients with CPP were reviewed and challenges in diagnosis and management were identified. Most of the children with CPP presented late. Organic causes were more frequent among girls than what has been reported in the literature; in most boys, it was idiopathic. Almost half of the patients with underlying pathology were older than 6 years of age. Most cases including girls have an organic cause, thus magnetic resonance image should be done in all patients. Management of precocious puberty in a resource-limited country is faced with various challenges (e.g., expensive investigations and medications). We suggest establishing a unified protocol for managing these cases and creating collaboration between governmental, nongovernmental organisations and health services.","PeriodicalId":74884,"journal":{"name":"Sudanese journal of paediatrics","volume":"23 2","pages":"145-152"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10876265/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139914176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Six hundred children were screened and 53 met the inclusion criteria. The incidence of dengue disease in hospitalised acute febrile illness was 8.8%. There were thirty-one males. The mean age of presentation of the study population was 9.32 ± 5 years with a range of 0.25 - 17 years. Fever (94%), nausea and vomiting (59 %), abdominal pain (55%), persistent vomiting (49%), thrombocytopenia (<100,000 [66%]), and petechiae and purpura (43%) were the important clinical manifestations. Six required intensive care monitoring. There was only one death. Dengue fever is an important cause of acute febrile illness in children.
