Physical Findings

B. mucosus capsulatus (Friendländer) meningitis has been a disease entity for approximately 60 years. It occurs chiefly in very young or aged males. The diagnosis in the pediatric age group is especially difficult because of the paucity of symptoms and physical findings referable to the central nervous system or of any primary source of infection. meningitis differs from other types in that the spinal fluid becomes almost gelatinous unless treatment is quickly employed. Less than 50 cases of B. mucosus capsulatus meningitis have been reported, and only five of these have recovered. With the use of streptomycin and sulfadiazine, the mortality rate may be greatly reduced if the cases are diagnosed and treated early in the course of the illness. A case of B. mucosus capsulatus meningitis occurring in a three-week-old male infant who recovered has been presented.

We present here a case of Fahr’s disease in the pediatric age group. Fahr’s disease is a neurological, degenerative and rare disease, especially in this age group. It differs from Fahrs syndrome, which is associated with infectious pathologies, such as human immunodeficiency virus infection and metabolic causes, such as hypoparathyroidism. In contrast, Fahr’s disease has an idiopathic or familial cause and is related to neuropsychic symptoms. However, the differentiation of these terms is still poorly established in the literature. It has an unknown prevalence and affects individuals of both sexes in any age group, and individuals from the 4th decade are more likely to develop it. It has polygenic etiology being autosomal dominant, characterized by abnormal deposits of minerals, including mainly calcium and phosphate in the basal ganglia. It presents extra-pyramidal, psychiatric and epileptic manifestations. It is an incurable disease with progressive and irreversible evolution. Due to the involvement of the central nervous system, the prognosis is reserved and eventually fatal. The patient in question was MF, 15-years-old, male, with severe holocranial headache and convulsive crisis with findings of calcifications in the base ganglia bilaterally tomography of the skull.

Herpesvirus 6

AbstractHuman herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) has been demonstrated to be a neurotropic virus and has been linked to several neurological complications associated with a wide range of clinical outcomes. Here, we present data from immunocompetent children with a central neurological condition and intrathecal DNA detection of HHV-6 virus. Through these cases, physiopathology, investigations, and outcome of the disease will be described. Finally, specific treatment will be discussed.

Effective Medication

Clinical pharmacists give valuable administrations to adult patients, however, their advantages for pediatric and neonatal patients are less characterized. Many studies state that medication errors in children are more common than in adults with a greater risk of death.Clinical Pharmacists are accepted as the primary source for providing evidence-based information and advice, to ensure the delivery of correct, safest, and most effective medication to patients. This paper presents a review of the role of clinical pharmacists in the pediatric unit and emphasis the importance of clinical pharmacists for all patients, especially in the pediatric age group.
