Hospitalization of children born to human immunodeficiency virus-infected women in Europe. The European Collaborative Study

The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal

Abstract

To describe the pattern of inpatient hospital service use in the first 5 years of life of all children born to HIV-infected women in 10 pediatric centers of the European Collaborative Study. Little information is available on the need for hospitalization of children born to HIV-infected women, especially those uninfected, despite the fact that they may be at risk of social deprivation and poor health because of family circumstances. Data on 1189 children enrolled between 1986 and 1997 and followed prospectively since birth according to a standard protocol were analyzed. This analysis included 151 HIV-infected and 811 uninfected children. One hundred forty (12%) infants had delayed postnatal discharge, mainly for drug withdrawal symptoms and prematurity. Uninfected children had 0.5 admission per 5 child years compared with 2.4 for infected children. From life table analysis, an estimated 48% of infected and 17% of uninfected children will have been admitted by age 12 months. Nearly 60% (3304 of 5604) of the total inpatient days of infected children occurred after AIDS diagnosis. Infected children were 4 times more likely to be hospitalized than uninfected children of the same age, and children with symptomatic mothers were 13 ti...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
