Caregiver Adverse Childhood Experiences and Pediatric Infection-Related Outcomes.

Published in Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society

Higher caregiver adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been associated with multiple adverse pediatric outcomes. However, no studies have examined links between caregiver ACEs and infectious outcomes like antibiotic prescriptions or infection-related clinical encounters. We conducted a retrospective cohort study including patients from two pedi...

Prescribing a Green Future: A Review of Antimicrobial Waste in Pediatric Hospitals and Practices to Promote Healthcare S...

Published in Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society

Pediatric hospitals are uniquely positioned to be impacted by antimicrobial waste. To explore this issue, we reviewed the current literature to identify the reasons, costs, and potential solutions to waste. Identified reasons for waste included weight-based dosing, medication order changes due to changing patient status, loss or expiration of doses...

Subclinical Inflammation in Asymptomatic Schoolchildren With Plasmodium falciparum Parasitemia Correlates With Impaired ...

Published in Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society

Subclinical inflammation and cognitive deficits have been separately associated with asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum infections in schoolchildren. However, whether parasite-induced inflammation is associated with worse cognition has not been addressed. We conducted a cross-sectional pilot study to better assess the effect of asymptomatic P. falc...

Guidance for prevention and management of COVID-19 in children and adolescents: A consensus statement from the Pediatric...

Published in Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society

Since November 2019, the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has created challenges for preventing and managing COVID-19 in children and adolescents. Most research to develop new therapeutic interventions or to repurpose existing ones has been undertaken in adults, and although most cases of infection in pediatric populations are mild, there have been many cases o...

Clinical Outcomes Associated with Amoxicillin Treatment for Acute Otitis Media in Children.

Published in Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society

Acute otitis media (AOM) is the most common reason children are prescribed antibiotics. Bacteria that produce beta-lactamase are an increasingly frequent cause of AOM and may be resistant to amoxicillin, the currently recommended treatment for AOM. We aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of children treated with amoxicillin for AOM and assessed ...

The Microbiome and Pediatric Transplantation.

Published in Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society

The microbial communities that inhabit our bodies have been increasingly linked to host physiology and pathophysiology. This microbiome, through its role in colonization resistance, influences the risk of infections after transplantation, including those caused by multidrug-resistant organisms. In addition, through both direct interactions with the...

Current Landscape and Future Directions of Pediatric Transplant Infectious Diseases.

Published in Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society

As the field of pediatric transplant infectious diseases continues to grow, new challenges are constantly arising. Advances in immunosuppressive drugs, antimicrobial development, and novel diagnostic tests add new wrinkles to the care of pediatric transplant recipients. This progress in clinical care serves as a call to direct energy toward pediatr...
