Crouzon Syndrome is a genetic craniosynostosis disorder associated with a high risk of ophthalmologic sequelae secondary to structural causes. However, ophthalmologic disorders due to intrinsic nerve aberrations in Crouzon Syndrome have not been described. Optic pathway gliomas (OPGs) are low grade gliomas that are intrinsic to the visual pathway, frequently associated with Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1). OPGs involving both optic nerves without affecting the optic chiasm are rarely seen outside of NF-1. We report an unusual case of bilateral optic nerve glioma without chiasmatic involvement in a 17-month-old male patient with Crouzon Syndrome without any clinical or genetic findings of NF-1...

Our aim was to identify national consensus criteria for the management of children with chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia (FN), for evidence-based step-down treatment approaches for patients classified at low risk of severe infection. In 2018, a five-section, 38-item survey was e-mailed to all pediatric hematology and oncology units in France ( n  = 30). The five sections contained statements on possible consensus criteria for the (i) definition of FN, (ii) initial management of children with FN, (iii) conditions required for initiating step-down therapy in low-risk patients, (iv) management strategy for low-risk patients, and (v) antibiotic treatment on discharge...

Low birth weight (LBW) is a leading cause of newborn's mortality however the underlying defects in cellular immunity and immune mechanisms leading to severe neonatal infections in term LBW (tLBW) newborns are not well understood. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), or NETosis, is an innate immune defense mechanism of neutrophils involved in trapping and killing of microbes. The efficiency of NET formation in cord blood derived neutrophils of tLBW and normal birth weight (NBW) newborns in the presence of toll like receptor (TLR) agonist inductions was evaluated...

The aim of the study was to test whether the cytokine profile could be used as a marker to differentiate between Epstein-Barr virus-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (EBV-HLH) and Kawasaki disease (KD). A total of 70 hospitalized children with HLH and KD admitted to hospital for the first time from March 2017 to December 2021 were enrolled in this study. Fifty-five healthy children were enrolled as normal controls. All patients and normal controls were tested for the six cytokines including interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) by flow cytometry...

Mixed phenotype leukemia (MPAL) is a rare type of acute leukemia with blasts that co-express antigens of more than one lineage on the same cell or that have separate populations of blasts of different lineages. Here, we report a five-year-old male with inguinal lymphadenopathy diagnosed with MPAL-T/Myeloid MPAL-T/M. The clone demonstrated lineage and immunophenotypically distinct blast populations in the bone marrow and lymph nodes. Bone marrow cytogenetic studies confirmed a rare PICALM::MLLT10 gene fusion...

Germline genetic variants influence development of pediatric B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several pediatric B-ALL susceptibility loci. IKZF1 and PAX5 , transcription factors involved in B cell development, have been reported as susceptibility genes for B-ALL development. Therefore, we hypothesized that rare variants of genes involved in B cell development would be candidate susceptibility loci for pediatric B-ALL. Thus, we sequenced TCF3 , a key transcription factor gene involving in B cell development...

Limited survival data for the six Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer (GICC) priority cancers are available in Africa. Management of pediatric malignancies in Africa is challenging due to lack of resources, setting-specific comorbidities, high rates of late presentation and treatment abandonment. Reporting of outcome data is problematic due to the lack of registries. With the aim of evaluating the feasibility of baseline outcomes for the six index cancers, we present a descriptive analysis of respective survival rates in Africa...

Studies on the long-term treatment outcomes of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in resource-limited countries are scarce. The purpose of this study was to assess the evolution of survival outcomes of pediatric ALL in a tertiary care center in Thailand over a 40-year period. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of pediatric patients who were diagnosed with ALL and treated at our center between June 1979 and December 2019. We classified the patients into 4 study periods depending on the therapy protocol used to treat the patients (period 1: 1979-1986, period 2: 1987-2005, period 3: 2006-2013, and period 4: 2014-2019)...

Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) may occur in pediatric patients with central nervous system (CNS) tumors at initial tumor presentation or later as treatment-related sequelae. While it is well recognized that growth hormone (GH) has beneficial effects on growth and endocrinopathies, there's often hesitancy by clinicians to initiate GH therapy for GHD after CNS tumor diagnosis due to the perceived increased risk of tumor recurrence. The available data is described here and based on this review, there is no evidence of increased risk of tumor recurrence or secondary malignancy in patients treated with GH after CNS tumor diagnosis...
