Background: Poor adherence to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) is a significant challenge in pediatric asthma, contributing to health inequities. Text-message reminders for ICS therapy are an evidence-based approach that improves pediatric asthma medication adherence, yet has not been widely adopted into practice, partly due to lack of (1) participant input on design and implementation and (2) use of sustainable community linkages. Remote Asthma Link™ (RAL) seeks to fill this gap as a school-linked text-message intervention wherein parents of children with poorly controlled asthma received daily, 2-way text-message reminders for preventive inhaler use...

Background: Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are rare potentially life-threatening hypersensitivity disorders characterized by widespread skin and mucosal involvement. However, there is no standardized evidence-based treatment to reduce the complications of SJS/TEN. This article aims to compare the efficacy of different treatments for pediatric SJS/TEN in terms of length of hospital stay (LOS) using a Bayesian network meta-analysis (NMA). A Bayesian NMA is used to compare and combine evidence from multiple studies and allows clinicians to estimate the relative effectiveness of different treatments/interventions while accounting for heterogeneity in the available evidence...

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of lower respiratory tract infections in people of all ages and is the leading cause of hospitalization among infants in the United States. The year 2023 was exciting for RSV prevention. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved 3 new tools for preventing severe lower respiratory tract RSV infections in infants, young children, and elderly persons. In May 2023, the FDA approved 2 vaccines, RSVpreF3 (Arexvy™, GSK) and RSVpreF (Abrysvo™, Pfizer), for adults ages 60 years or older to be given as a single-dose intramuscular injection...

Background: Cutaneous mastocytosis (CM) occurs when abnormal mast cells accumulate in the skin, whereas in systemic mastocytosis (SM), accumulation also occurs in other tissues. A transition from CM to SM is an atypical occurrence in pediatric patients. Case Presentation: An 8-month-old female presented with a 3-month history of whole body hyperpigmented macules with a normal serum tryptase level, consistent with a diagnosis of CM. At age 2.5 years, cutaneous lesions increased and repeat serum tryptase levels were elevated...

Background: Lower respiratory tract infections frequently complicate the care of children with chronic tracheostomies. Pediatric patients have significantly more risk to have tracheostomy infections than adults. Better understanding of modifiable risk factors for pulmonary exacerbations may improve the care of technology-dependent children. Methods: A retrospective single-center cohort study conducted on children with tracheostomy and chronic home ventilator to determine the incidence of pulmonary exacerbations leading to hospitalizations, emergency room (ER) visits, and antibiotic prescriptions...

Background: In Chile, patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE) type I and type II are protected under Ley Ricarte Soto (LRS), which guarantees access to on demand plasma-derived C1-INH (pdC1-INH) since 2018. We aimed to analyze the first 3 years of LRS. Methods: Review of the LRS database between 2018 and 2021. Results: During the study period, 154 patients were covered by LRS, with an estimated prevalence of HAE in Chile at 0.8:100,000 inhabitants. A delay in diagnosis of 22 years was noted, 50 patients received epinephrine during an attack before the diagnosis of HAE...

Drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a severe adverse drug-induced hypersensitivity reaction. We report a case of DRESS syndrome in a 17-year-old female caused by itraconazole, confirmed by patch testing, that required treatment with both corticotherapy and cyclosporine. Our case highlights the importance of clinical suspicion of this syndrome in pediatric age and the novelty of an antifungal drug being identified as the culprit.

Objective: Asthma is a common chronic disease and a substantial public health problem for children, adolescents, and adults. Adolescence, a period of increased independence and striving for autonomy, is an opportune time for youth transitioning to adulthood to assume more responsibility for their own asthma self-management. However, accurate measures of adolescent asthma outcomes are limited. The purpose of this systematic review is to identify self-reported asthma measures currently available in the empirical literature focused on adolescent populations...

Background: Severe bronchiolitis is a strong childhood asthma risk factor. Early and accurate asthma prediction is key. We applied the Asthma Predictive Index (API), the modified Asthma Predictive Index (mAPI), and the Pediatric Asthma Risk Score (PARS) in a cohort of high-risk infants to predict asthma at age 6 years. Methods: We conducted a 17-center cohort of infants (age <1 year) hospitalized with severe bronchiolitis during 2011-2014. We used only infancy data to predict asthma at age 6 years. Results: The prevalence of parent-reported asthma at age 6 years was 328/880 (37%)...
