Review of Ebola virus disease in children - how far have we come?
TL;DR: The epidemiology of past EVD outbreaks with specific focus on children is discussed, the clinical manifestations and laboratory findings are described and key developments in clinical management including specific topics such as viral persistence and breastfeeding are described.
Circulating markers of neutrophil activation and lung injury in pediatric pneumonia in low-resource settings.
TL;DR: In this article , the authors measured chitinase 3-like protein 1 (CHI3L1), surfactant protein D (SP-D), lipocalin-2 (LCN2), and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) in Ugandan children under the age of five hospitalized with acute lower respiratory tract infection.
Prospective validation of pediatric disease severity scores to predict mortality in Ugandan children presenting with malaria and non-malaria febrile illness

TL;DR: All three scoring systems predicted outcome, but LODS holds the most promise as a clinical prognostic score based on its simplicity to compute, requirement for no equipment, and good discrimination.
Neuroinvasive potential of human coronavirus OC43: case report of fatal encephalitis in an immunocompromised host.
TL;DR: In this article, an autopsy-proven case of fatal human coronavirus (HCoV)-OC43 encephalitis in an infant with aplastic thymus and chronic T-cell lymphopenia was presented.
Endothelial activation, haemostasis and thrombosis biomarkers in Ugandan children with severe malaria participating in a clinical trial

TL;DR: These results confirm that severe malaria is associated with endothelial activation, and suggest that endothelialactivation contributes to microvascular thrombosis and endothelial damage.
