The authors present the case of a 1 year and 7 months old girl, with no medical history, initially diagnosed with left preauricular adenopathy, which increased in volume progressively, despite 12 days of antibiotic therapy. This report presents the causes of latero-cervical adenopathy and the main tumor etiologies with preauricular and parotid localization. The clinical case presented a challenge in clarifying the final diagnosis – high-risk embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma.

Introduction. SARS-CoV-2 infection has put humanity to the test since December 2019, quickly becoming a global public health problem. There is a significant difference between the pediatric population versus the adult population in terms of infection rate, modes of transmission, clinical manifestations. The study aimed to identify some patterns of clinical presentation of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the pediatric population in “Dr. Victor Gomoiu“ Children’s Clinical Hospital in 2020, also following any possible variations between the first two waves of the pandemic. Materials and methods. The study was based on the descriptive observational analysis of two groups of SARS-CoV-2 positive patients, corresponding to the two pandemic waves. Patients were classified into some clinical patterns, using the definition of suspected / confirmed case established by the National Institute of Public Health (INSP) and transmitted through the National Center for Surveillance and Control of Communicable...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and has reached pandemic status since the first cases were detected in Wuhan, Hubei province, China, in late 2019. Despite its rapid worldwide spread, many unknown aspects are to be discovered regarding epidemiological and clinical patterns of COVID-19, especially among children. SARS-CoV-2 infection involves mainly middle-aged and elderly individuals, and the mortality rates are highest in compromised older adults with underlying diseases. Constantly, the reported proportion of children with SARS-CoV-2 infection has been low. The main transmission pathways are respiratory droplets, contact, and potentially fecal-oral. Despite the clinical evolution of adults, the paediatric patients with COVID-19 have relatively milder symptoms, and this difference is not fully understood. Some hypotheses suggest that the amount of viral loads (or the duration of virus-shedding period) i...

Obiective. Condiţiile socio-economice, obiceiurile alimentare şi comportamentale sunt citate ca factori cu rol determinant în influenţarea stării de nutriţie, mai ales în populaţia pediatrică, în întreaga lume. Studiul de faţă îşi propune evaluarea schimbărilor într-un interval de 5 ani a stării de nutriţie şi a factorilor externi specifici care le-au influenţat, pe un eşantion semnificativ de copii din zona de sud a României. Material şi metodă. Studiul prospectiv cross-section a fost realizat în cadrul Spitalului Clinic de Urgenţă pentru Copii „Grigore Alexandrescu“ din Bucureşti, în perioada decembrie 2010-februarie 2011. Au fost înrolaţi 1.529 de pacienţi şi evaluaţi antropometric şi din punct de vedere al obiceiurilor alimentare pe baza completării unui chestionar. Protocolul de studiu a fost cel aplicat în anul 2005, în acelaşi interval de timp pe un lot asemănător numeric. Loturile de studiu s-au alcătuit pe criteriul vârstă: 0-2 ani şi 2-18 ani. S-a aplicat pentru prelucrare...

Objectives. In the past few years we observed an increase in the number of patients with inflammatory bowel disease. We aimed to determine the epidemiology of this pathology among children in Romania over a 10 years period. Material and methods. The survey was conducted in Pediatric Gastroenterology Departments in Bucharest. We selected patients being carried for inflammatory bowel disease in 2011. A similar study, performed 10 years ago in 2001, reported the same epidemiologic characteristics and comparative data were available. Results. In 2001 we report 74 cases of inflammatory bowel disease, while there were 21 cases mentioned in 2001. We identified 35 cases of Crohn disease (47.29%) and 39 patients with ulcerative colitis (52.7%). The previous study reported 17 (81%) and 4 (19%), respectively. The mean age of onset of symptoms is 10.2 while in 2001 this was 13.2 years. Conclusions. Inflammatory bowel disease has tripled in the last 10 years. Ulcerative colitis is still the most...

Aims. The determinants of children nutrition status varies around the globe in relation with socio-economic particularities, dietary habits and family lifestyle. The present study attempted to evaluate the changes and determinants of nutritional status of a representative children population from South Romania. Materials and methods. A prospective cross section study was performed in Grigore Alexandrescu Emergency Children’s Hospital from Bucharest between December 2010-February 2011. We enrolled 1529 children and anthropometric, dietary assessment and interview schedule were used for all the participants. Study design was similar with the one used in 2005, on similar condition (timing and participants). The population was divided in 2 age groups: 0-2 years and 2-18 years. Data analyze used SPSS software and the Data Analysis module of MICROSOFT EXCEL 2007. Chi-Squared Test was performed for hypothesis testing involving nominal variables (categorical), non-parametric Wilcoxon-Mann-W...

Obiective. În ultimii ani, s-a observat o creştere a numărului de pacienţi diagnosticaţi cu boală inflamatorie intestinală (BII). Ne-am propus să determinăm epidemiologia acestei patologii în rândul populaţiei pediatrice din sudul României, după o perioadă de 10 ani. Material şi metodă. Studiul de faţă este unul retrospectiv, efectuat în cadrul Clinicilor de Gastroenterologie Pediatrică din Bucureşti şi are drept scop identificarea caracteristicilor epidemiologice ale pacienţilor pediatrici care suferă de BII. Am selectat toţi pacienţii aflaţi în evidenţa cu boală inflamatorie intestinală în anul 2011. Un studiu asemănător a fost realizat în urmă cu 10 ani, raportând cazurile aflate în evidenţă în anul 2001, ceea ce a permis o analiză comparativă a datelor obţinute. Rezultate. Am identificat un număr de 74 de cazuri de boală inflamatorie intestinală, în timp ce în anul 2001 au fost menţionate 21 de cazuri. Dintre aceştia, 35 de cazuri au fost reprezentate de boala Crohn (47,29%) şi ...
