The incidence and risk factors of EPM in children are not known.Methods: This is a retrospective study involving 65,243 pediatric CAP patients between 2010 and 2015 at 23 nationwide hospitals was conducted in South Korea. The medical records were reviewed to collect the information regarding the clinical characteristics, radiological results, and laboratory findings. In total, 9,190 children with MP were identified and included in the analysis. Logistic regression with multivariable analysis was performed to evaluate the risk factors associated with EPM in MP.Results: The mean age of the enrolled patients with MP was 64.3±39.8 months, and the proportion of male patients was 49.5%. The incidence of EPM was 23.9% and included elevation of liver enzymes (18.1%), mucocutaneous manifestations (4.4%), proteinuria (4.1%), cardiovascular and neurologic manifestation (0.4%), hematologic manifestation (0.2%) and arthritis (0.2%). Statistical analysis showed that mucocutaneous manifestations were significantly increased with elevated alanine aminotransferase (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 3.623, 95% confidence intervals [CI] 1.933-6.790) and atopic sensitization (aOR 2.973, 95% CI 1.615-5.475) and decreased with respiratory virus co-infection (aOR 0.273, 95% CI 0.084-0.887). Elevated liver enzymes was significantly associated with the elevation of lactate dehydrogenase (aOR 3.055, 95% CI 2.257-4.137) and presence of pleural effusion (aOR 2.635, 95% CI 1.767-3.930) and proteinuria with respiratory virus co-infection (aOR 2.245, 95% CI 1.113-4.527). Conclusions: About 24% of pediatric MP patients were identified with various EPM. Since risk factors associated with each EPM was different, it is necessary to evaluate the various clinical aspects and findings of MP to predict and prepare for the occurrence of EPM.","PeriodicalId":7548,"journal":{"name":"Allergy, Asthma & Respiratory Disease","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75319866","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}

Subjects were classified into 3 age groups: those at younger than 10 years (children), 10 to 20 years (adolescents), and 20 years or more (adults). Cases were confirmed by laboratory testing using real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reac\u001ftion assay and analyzed for epidemiological and clinical features and outcomes.

Rapid testing for respiratory viruses, such as the FilmArray method, can be clinically useful. However, insufficient evidence exists to support its use in standard clinical care. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from children under 18 years old who received the multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction array (multiplex RT-PCR) method in 2017 and by FilmArray respiratory panel (FilmArray RP) in 2018. Results: Between January, 2017 and December, 2018, we reviewed data from 1,480 hospitalized children. The number of children with virus detection in respiratory viral PCR was 523 in the multiplex RT-PCR method and 419 in the FilmArray method. Seasonal virus outbreak patterns were similar to those of Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in both groups. There was no differ-ence between the 2 groups in the mean length of hospital stay. The time from admission to isolation by influenza infection was sig-nificantly shorter in the FilmArray group than in the multiplex RT-PCR group among patients who were not diagnosed with influenza infection by rapid antigen test at the time of admission. Conclusion: The use of FilmArray method for respiratory viruses did not diminish length of hospital stay. However, the FilmArray method may quickly detect the prevalence of respiratory infection and aid in clinical treatment. In addition, it was related with a re-duced time from admission to isolation by influenza infection in hospitalized children who were not identified with influenza infection by rapid antigen test at the time of admission.
