Chest Radiography Use in Hospitalized Children with Acute Respiratory Tract Infections
Background: Pediatric respiratory infections represent a leading cause of emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations. Chest X-rays are frequently used in their diagnostic evaluation, despite guideline recommendations advocating restrictive imaging strategies, particularly in young children with uncomplicated disease. Excessive imaging raises concerns regarding cumulative radiation exposure and inefficient resource utilization. Objectiv…
A Sensitive Public Health Issue—The Vaccine Acceptancy and the Anti-Pertussis Immune Status of Pregnant Women from a Romanian Metropolitan Area
(1) Background: Immunization of pregnant women (PWs) against Bordetella pertussis infection is still a challenging health matter. (2) Methods: We gathered questionnaire data from 180 PWs regarding their expectancies and current opinion on infectious disease prevention. For the group of PWs who agreed to further investigations, the serum levels of Ig G anti-B. pertussis antibodies (IgG-PT) titer were measured and analyzed. (3) Results: A total of …
Pattern of Primary Resistance of Helicobacter pylori to Clarithromycin among Pediatric Patients from North-Eastern Romania
One in 2.4 children infected with Helicobacter pylori had a strain resistant to clarithromycin. This resistant strain may be a reason for treatment failure in Romanian children, yet this is uninvestigated. The high rate of bacterial resistance to this antibiotic among children indicates the need for susceptibility testing before therapy
The Effectiveness of Different Eradication Schemes for Pediatric Helicobacter pylori Infection—A Single-Center Comparative Study from Romania
Therapy with MTZ can achieve a higher eradication rate as a first-line treatment in the case of H. pylori infection. Taking into account that Romania is in an area with increased resistance to CLR, MTZ therapy could be a promising alternative
Vaccine Coverage in Children Younger Than 1 Year of Age during Periods of High Epidemiological Risk
Background: According to WHO, infectious disease control can be achieved if the vaccine coverage (VC) exceeds 90%. In recent years there has been a declining trend in VC which could lead to the recurrence of infectious diseases. Objectives: The study analyzed the determinants of VC and of parental decisions regarding immunization in children aged 0−1 year monitored during two high-risk epidemiological periods (the measles epidemic and the COVID-1…
