Co-Infections in Children Hospitalised for Bronchiolitis: Role of Roomsharing
BACKGROUND Bronchiolitis is a major cause for hospitalisation in young children during the winter season, with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) as the main causative virus. Apart from standard hygiene measures, cohorting of RSV-infected patients separately from RSV-negative patients is frequently applied to prevent cross-infection, although evidence to support this practice is lacking. The obj...
متن کاملIntestinal nematode infections in children: the pathophysiological price paid.
The mechanism by which small animals such as rodents resist or eliminate nematode parasites requires mucosal inflammation as the final effector of the immune response. The resulting freedom from chronic infection may be worth the price of short-term illness. Putative vaccines which attempt to enhance the natural effect will have to take into account the inflammatory cost to the host. Human helm...
متن کاملNematode infections are risk factors for staphylococcal infection in children.
Nematode infection may be a risk factor for pyogenic liver abscess in children and we hypothesized that the immunomodulation induced by those parasites would be a risk factor for any staphylococcal infection in children. The present study was designed to compare, within the same hospital, the frequency of intestinal nematodes and Toxocara infection in children with and without staphylococcal in...
متن کاملMeningococcal infections in hospitalised patients in Pretoria.
We report on 13 patients diagnosed with meningococcal infections in patients attending state-owned hospitals serving an indigent population in Pretoria in 2009. The case fatality rate was 27%. Ceftriaxone was the main antibiotic (9 out of 13 patients) for therapy. Five isolates (39%) were serogroup B and 4 (31%) serogroup W135. Most isolates (12/13) were fully susceptible to penicillin (MIC ran...
متن کاملDepressive symptomatology in hospitalised children.
This study was undertaken to determine the extent and nature of depressive symptoms exhibited by black South African children during hospitalisation for orthopaedic procedures. Social factors associated with the risk for depression, in response to hospitalisation, were also examined. Pre- and post-test assessments were conducted on a sample of 30 children, aged between 6 and 12 years. The asses...
