Discuss or comment on this article.
We present in this study 4 cases of portal vein thrombosis in childhood. Portal vein thrombosis is frequent (8% of splenectomies) and may be asymptomatic. Doppler postoperative surveillance is justified. Thrombocytosis seems to be a determinant factor. Early diagnosis and treatment may reduce lethal outcome.

The antiseptics are antimicrobial substances that are applied to living tissue to reduce the growth of microorganisms. The physiological particularities of newborns, and especially premature, reduce the list of used antiseptic in neonatology. The choice of antiseptic in neonates depends on its activity, its presentation and its tolerance. Using a large spectrum antiseptic like iodine and chlorhexidin seems to be the best choice; however the thyroid toxicity of iodine products contraindicates their use in the newborn. The usage of minor antiseptics like hexamidin shows no interest due to their limited spectrum and their...

Discuss or comment on this article.
Dengue (Df) and Chikungunya fever (Cf) arbovirosis are booming in the world, because of the plasticity of their pathogens, mutant RNA viruses making the acquisition of sustainable herd immunity and vaccination difficult in humans, and the plasticity of their vectors, the female mosquitoes of the genus Aedes (Stegomya), capable of adapting to different environments. This review summarizes the viral life cycle and epidemiology of these arboviruses, pathogenesis and pediatric aspects of their clinical forms and the basic principles of their treatment and prevention.

Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results confirmed that the older age group had more information on their imminent death. However children between 3 to 6 years old have more information than children between 7 to 11 years old. Probably as children between 3 to 6 years old have a magical concept of death, it makes it easier to talk about their terminal phase. Over-protection and the difficulty to talk about death shows differences between what children know and what parents tell them about their palliative phase.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the leading cause of congenital infection in developed countries, affecting 0.3 to 0.6% of all live births in Europe. Primary CMV infection occurs in 1 to 4% of seronegative women during pregnancy and may be transmitted to the fetus in 40% of cases. Up to 10% of intrauterine CMV infections result in symptomatic congenital disease at birth. Half of these children and 13% of those born with asymptomatic infection will develop long-term sequelae, especially neurosensory hearing loss and mental retardation. Accurate diagnosis of primary maternal and fetal infection is now possible using the avidit...

Conclusions Our data support greater ASD concordance in MZ vs DZ twins.

For families in which one MZ twin is diagnosed with ASD, the second twin is unlikely to receive an ASD diagnosis after 12 months. In addition, Internet parent report of ASD status is valid.
