IMPORTANCE Management of febrile children is an intrinsic aspect of pediatric practice. Febrile children account for 15% of emergency department visits and outcomes range from the presence of serious bacterial infection to benign self-limited illness. OBSERVATIONS Studies from 1979 to 2015 examining febrile infants and children were included in this review. Management of febrile infants young...

since  clinical  manifestations  of  most  febrile  infants  younger  than  three  months  old  are nonspecific, differentiation of serious bacterial infection (sbi) from self-limiting viral illness is a significant challenge for pediatricians. this study was performed to assess the diagnostic value of white blood cell count (wbc), absolute neutrophil count (anc), interleukin -6 (il-6) and c-re...

patients and methods the study population consisted of all patients with type iiia gastilo open fractures of tibial shaft, with or without fibula fracture (caused by trauma). after wound irrigation, debridement, and wound swab sampling for microbial culture, all patients received prophylactic antibiotic regimens in fitting with their wound class. no topical antibiotics were used with a 6-month ...

the objective of the present study was to determine the grades of nonspecific bacterial infection of genitalia of repeat breeding cattle by a simple and rapid test under field condition. for this purpose, a total of 100 crossbred jersey cows comprising of 80 repeat breeding animals presented for treatment and 20 normal cyclic (control group) animals presented for artificial insemination at thei...

conclusions our results demonstrated the antimicrobial properties of frog skin as a wound dressing, which has antimicrobial effects per se. this biological dressing shows promise as an effective biological wound dressing insofar as not only is it capable of resisting microbes and accelerating wound healing but also it is cost-effective and easy to use. results in the microbial studies, the bact...

Little attention has been given to the patterns of diseases in children admitted to a hospital. We retrospectively studied 874 children (477 male, 397 female) who were hospitalised consecutively during a ten months period to determine the incidence and types of their illness with an emphasis on patterns and causes of fever. Respiratory symptoms of cough and wheezing were the single most common ...
