Background: Combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) has been associated with a steep decrease in mortality and morbidity in HIV-1 infected children. New antiretroviral molecules and drug classes have been developed and the management of HIV-infected children has improved, but recent data on survival are limited. Methods: An observational retrospecti...

Background: Patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) have a short postnatal period of ventilatory stability called the honeymoon period, after which changes in pulmonary vascular reactivity result in pulmonary hypertension. However, the mechanisms involved are still unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate mechanical ventilation's ...

Focal hyperinsulinism (HI) comprises nearly 50% of all surgically treated HI cases and is cured if the focal lesion can be completely resected. Pre-operative localization of the lesion is thus critical. Few cases of hyperinsulinism with multiple focal lesions have been reported, and assessment of the molecular mechanisms driving this rare occurrenc...

Naso-pharyngeal RT-PCR is the gold standard for the diagnosis of COVID-19, but there is a need for rapid and reliable tests. Some validation studies have used frozen aliquots mainly from adults. The aim of this real-life study was to test the performance of a SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen test (SC2-RAT) in children. Symptomatic patients aged 0 to 17 yea...

Congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (CNDI) is a rare hereditary tubular dysfunction caused mainly by X-linked recessive inheritance of AVPR2 gene mutations. Pathogenic genes are a result of mutations in AVPR2 on chromosome Xq28 and in AQP2 on chromosome 12q13. The clinical manifestations of CNDI include polyuria, compensatory polydipsia, thir...

Iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS) or May–Thurner syndrome occurs predominantly in young to middle-aged women. Here we reported a case of IVCS in a 5-year-old boy. The child was admitted to our vasculocardiology department with left lower extremity that had been swollen for 1 month. Blood tests revealed coagulation routine and platelets in the ...
