Validation of a laboratory risk index score for the identification of severe bacterial infection in children with fever without source
Annick Galetto-Lacour,Samuel Antonio Zamora,Barbara Andreola,Silvia Bressan,Laurence Elisabeth Lacroix,Liviana Da Dalt,Alain Gervaix +6 more
TL;DR: This study validated the Lab-score as a valuable tool to identify SBI in children with FWS and performed better than other laboratory markers, even when applied to children of different age groups.

Procalcitonin as a predictor of renal scarring in infants and young children.
Silvia Bressan,Barbara Andreola,Pietro Zucchetta,Giovanni Montini,Marta Burei,Giorgio Perilongo,Liviana Da Dalt +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that serum PCT concentration at admission is a useful predictive tool of renal scarring in infants and young children with acute pyelonephritis.

Unilateral mydriasis due to Angel's trumpet
TL;DR: This case adds to the differential diagnosis of acute anisocoria in otherwise healthy children because simple topical exposure to the flowers of Angel's trumpet, without instillation of plant sap into the eye, can produce self-limited unilateral mydriasis.

Nasal lavage leukotrienes in infants with RSV bronchiolitis.
Liviana Da Dalt,Silvia Callegaro,Silvia Carraro,Barbara Andreola,Massimo Corradi,Eugenio Baraldi +5 more
TL;DR: Cys‐LTs are significantly increased in the NLF of infants with acute RSV bronchiolitis, and remain so at 1‐month follow-up, suggesting a possible role of these eicosanoids in the pathogenesis of the disease.

Exhaled leukotriene B4 in children with community acquired pneumonia
Silvia Carraro,Barbara Andreola,Rossella Alinovi,Massimo Corradi,Luisa Freo,Liviana Da Dalt,Eugenio Baraldi +6 more
TL;DR: EBC LTB4 is measured as a potential non‐invasive marker of inflammatory response in community acquired pneumonia (CAP) to measure the role of leukotriene B4 in the infiltrate in pneumonia.
