ABSTRACT Aim We retrospectively evaluated trends in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in paediatric bloodstream infections and assessed changes in antimicrobial prescription patterns over a 20‐year period. Methods We analysed positive blood cultures from children admitted with suspected serious infection between 1998 and 2018.

Abstract Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T‐cell therapies directed against cluster of differentiation 19 (CD19) are a standard of care for relapsed or refractory B‐cell lymphomas. Infection is the leading cause of non‐relapse mortality, and this risk may persist for years after CAR T‐cell receipt.

Tissue Resident Memory Cells: Friend or Foe?
Tissue‐resident memory T cells (TRM cells) are specialised immune cells in barrier tissues like the lungs, skin and gut, providing rapid host defence and tumour surveillance. Their retention and differentiation are regulated by molecules such as CD69, CD103 and TGF‐β. Dysregulation of TRM cells can lead to chronic activation, driving conditions such as

Oral Health, Periodontitis, and Respiratory Diseases: Biological Pathways
This narrative review aims to provide a comprehensive update on the potential mechanisms by which poor oral health and periodontitis impact lung health, focusing on pneumonia, COPD, and asthma. ABSTRACT Poor oral hygiene and periodontitis influence lung diseases such as pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), COVID‐19, and asthma.

Consensus Guidelines for Diagnosis and Management of Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex Deficiency
ABSTRACT Primary pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency (PDCD) comprises a group of monogenic disorders caused by pathogenic variants in genes encoding subunits of, or regulatory components affecting, the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. The clinical phenotype spans a broad continuum, ranging from early onset congenital lactic acidosis to infantile ...

Increased Pediatric Head and Neck Abscesses Following the COVID‐19 Pandemic
This study evaluated the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on pediatric head and neck abscesses at two tertiary care centers. Overall head and neck abscess incidence increased more than threefold in the post‐pandemic period compared with the pre‐pandemic period, with increases observed across all major abscess subtypes.

Trained Immunity in Childhood Vaccination
Trained immunity as an emerging concept in paediatric vaccinology. Trained immunity links vaccine stimuli through epigenetic and metabolic reprogramming to enhanced innate immune cell function, thereby strengthening protection against diverse pathogens while promoting adaptive immune responses through more efficient antigen presentation and co ...
