Empyema as a complication of community acquired pneumonia (CAP) is relatively common occurrence in developing countries. Study Design: Prospective study. Period: 4 year Jan 2001- Dec 2004. Setting: Department of Pediatric surgery the Children’s hospital Lahore. Patients & Method: A total of 114 cases of empyema thoracic secondary to CAP were dealt with during this period, while in the same duration a total of 1768 cases of pneumonia were treated at the Children’s hospital Lahore. Results: Majority of the patients with CAP (59.61%) were below one year of age whereas the patients who developed empyema, were mainly (45.67%) between 2 to 5 years of age. Patients above 5 years of age having CAP (31.70%) and having repeated attacks of respiratory tract infection were most susceptible to develop empyema. Staphylococcus aureus was the most common organism found (40.35%) in this series. Vaccination, poverty and gender did not significantaffected the development of empyema among the patients of CAP. Antibiotic resistance had no role in the development of empyema. Ibuprofen may be a risk factor. All the patients were initially managed with tube thoracostomy and antibiotics. Forty-eight patients (42.10%) needed subsequently operative management. Three patients (2.63%) had fatal course in this series same as seen in patients of CAP (2%). Conclusions: Immunization against causative organism and modification of out patient treatment may affect the incidence of empyema in children and should be studied prospectively.

A 10-year-old boy known case of Gaucher disease about 2 years ago was admitted with nausea, vomiting and epigastric pain from 3 days before hospitalization to Mofid Children’s hospital, Tehran, Iran. On the initial examination, no abnormalities were found except for splenomegaly and brief tenderness on the spleen. In secondary paraclinical evaluations (with Ultrasound and Ct-scan), we noticed mesenteric lymphadenopathy in the patient. The lesions remained unchanged and no significant changes were observed in the clinical and laboratory evaluations of the patient during one-year follow-up period. This is a rare and benign manifestation of Gaucher disease, which is usually monitored and does not require any intervention without signs of malignancy or severe space occupying effects

The Adolescent Unit at the Children's Hospital, Boston, is now offering a general practice type of postgraduate training in the care of adolescents. One-year traineeships are available to a few properly qualified physicians who have had two or more years of hospital experience following graduation from Medical School. The teaching staff includes a gynecologist, endocrinologist, gastroenterologist, cardiologists, psychiatrists, etc., and is directed by Dr. J. R. Gallagher to whom any inquiries should be sent.

ABSTRACTEarly establishment of infectious processes allows for expedited clinical management of meningitis and encephalitis. The FilmArray meningitis/encephalitis (FA-M/E) panel provides rapid detection of potential pathogens associated with encephalitis/meningitis in both immunocompetent and compromised patients. Here, we conducted a 1-year review of the performance of the FA-M/E panel at a tertiary care children's hospital. Two hundred sixty-five samples from 251 patients were tested. We found 87.25% (219/251) were negative, 9.96% (25/251) were positive for viral analytes, and 3.19% (8/251) were positive for bacterial analytes. When possible, positive results were confirmed by alternate testing; 4/6 available bacterial positives and 17/20 available viral positives were confirmed by retrospective culture or molecular testing.
