Bronchiectasis in cystic fibrosis
Email this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Studies of infants identified by newborn screening for cystic fibrosis have shown that the pulmonary diseases start early, prior to the development of clinical symptoms. In this issue of The Journal, Stick et al from the Australian Respiratory Early Surveillance Team for Cystic Fibrosis (AREST CF) have studied bronchiectasis in young children with cystic fibrosis diagnosed by newborn screening. They found a prevalence of 22% which increased with age, so current treatment of infants with cystic fibrosis does not always prevent the development of permanent pulmonary sequalae. The authors propose that bronchiectasis would be ...

Maura Heckmann and her son, Chris
Eleven-year-old Chris Heckmann was healthy and in good spirits when his mother, Maura, left him with friends for the night. But when she returned, 24 hours later, her son was unrecognizable. Stricken with paranoia, he refused to eat and paced around the family room, fear in his eyes.
At first, doctors thought Chris had obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). But he was ultimately diagnosed with PANDAS, a controversial neuropsychiatric disorder thought to be related to routine childhood strep infections. Here, Maura tells the story of her son’s rapid decent into illness, and his road to re...

There has been a lot of fear surrounding the swine flu pandemic this year. The declaration of a National Swine Flu Emergency by President Obama may increase fears for some parents, but it is important to realize that the move simply allows hospitals to better deal with the rising number of patients they are seeing, especially in their emergency rooms.
Other parents have a greater fear that the swine flu vaccine may come too late, as we are already seeing widespread flu cases in most of the United States. It is important to keep in mind that some experts think that another wave of swine flu may come later this winter and so...

The Impact of Bittering Agents on Pediatric Ingestions of AntifreezeEmail this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion. Despite the appealing logic of limiting the ingested volume and thereby the severity of poisonings by adding aversive agents, and despite promising results in volunteer studies, bittering agents do not decrease the frequency or severity of pediatric antifreeze poisonings. The addition of bittering agents to household products cannot be justified based on actual poisoning data.

Birth weight (BW) and gestational age (GA) rather than plurality of birth determined need for admission to SCN, LOS, AFF, and need for respiratory support. When matched for GA, compared to singletons, twins and triplets needed less admission to SCN and respiratory support at 36 weeks, whereas at 34 weeks, they had longer LOS and took lon...

This study aimed to determine the prevalence and severity of hypertensive retinopathy among hypertensive children, evaluated by pediatric ophthalmologists in the "real world" clinical setting using direct ophthalmoscopy. The authors retrospectively reviewed the medical records of the 83 children diagnosed with hypertension by a pediatric nephrologist between 1999 and 2006. Of the 35 children examined by an ophthalmologist within 12 months of the diagnosis of hypertension, only 3 (8.6%; 95% CI, 1.8%-23.1%) were diagnosed with hypertensive retinopathy. Despite the fact that those selected for retinal examination were likely ...

This report describes the behavioral treatment of a 29-month-old girl with TTM. Treatment consisted of 14 daily sessions of behavioral intervention, followed by 3 consecutive days of follow-up treatment conducted 7 weeks after the end of initial treatment. The hair pulling was addressed by using reinforcers for not pulling, provided at intervals of increasing length. At the end of initial treatment, the hair pulling improved significantly. At follow-up, although some of the initial treatment gains were reduced, the patient maintained significant improvement compared with baseline.

One of the most prevalent concerns new parents have for their babies is SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). Generally occurring before their first birthday, SIDS has been a frightening reality for many families. When such tragedies occur parents may blame themselves or a caretaker for their baby's death. It is a tragedy that haunts parents for years to come. This type of death never has an answer that allows parents to come to terms with their loss. They forever wonder if there was something wrong with their baby that went undiagnosed, whether it will happen again if they have another child or if it was someone's fault. A...

Well, here it is: the injectable version is made with “killed virus” and the mist version is made with “live virus.” If, like me, you’re still confused, here’s some help from Ken McIntosh, MD, an infectious disease and vaccine specialist at Children’s Hospital Boston.

Hemolytic disease of the newborn is usually considered if there is a severe or rapidly developing hyperbilirubinemia, a maternal positive antenatal antibody screening or severely anemic or hydropic fetus, a positive direct Coombs test, hemolysis seen on blood smear, or prolonged hyperbilirubinemia. A differential diagnosis of the multiple causes of unconjungated hyperbilirubemia can be found in a previous case, and a review of the epidemiology of Rh negative HDN can also be found in another previous case.
