This study utilized a prospective, large-sample, multi-center, and registered key specialty approach of hospitals to monitor the application of Reduning Injection. A total of 100 249 adolescent patients aged 14 years and below who received Reduning Injection were monitored, resulting in 83 cases of adverse events, with 76 of them being classified as adverse drug reaction(ADR). The calculated incidence rate of ADR for Reduning Injection was 0.

This study aimed to provide data for the clinical features of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and the molecular characteristics of isolates from paediatric patients in China. We conducted a multi-centre prospective study for IPD in 19 hospitals across China from January 2019 to December 2021. Data of demographic characteristics, risk factors for IPD, death, and disability was collected and analysed.

Objectives: To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of pneumococcal meningitis (PM), and drug sensitivity of (SP) isolates in Chinese children.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical information, laboratory data, and microbiological data of 160 hospitalized children under 15 years old with PM from January 2019 to December 2020 in 33 tertiary hospitals across the country.

Results: Among the 160 children with PM, there were 103 males and 57 females.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigated invasive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections in neonates, focusing on clinical features and antibiotic resistance in 220 hospitalized patients over two years.
  • Among the findings, 30.45% had invasive MRSA infections, with sepsis being the most common, and younger newborns (median age 8 days) were more affected than those with noninvasive cases (median age 19 days).
  • Key risk factors for invasive MRSA included low birth weight, congenital heart disease, and young age, while all MRSA isolates were found to be susceptible to vancomycin and linezolid but resistant to other antibiotics like penicillin and erythromycin.

Article Synopsis
  • Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a critical global public health concern, particularly monitored through the ISPED program focusing on children from 2016-2021.
  • Over 13,000 MRSA isolates were analyzed, revealing that infants under 3 years old are the most affected, with infections commonly found in lower respiratory areas and abscesses.
  • The study found varying antibiotic resistance levels, with all isolates sensitive to vancomycin and linezolid, but a significant rise in resistance to levofloxacin and TMP-SMX, highlighting clindamycin's reduced effectiveness for empirical MRSA treatment.

Objectives: During COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, China, some public health measures of forced lockdown, closure of school and public meeting places, staying at home, transportation stop, masks wearing, hands washing, environmental disinfection were taken on to control epidemic transmission, these measures have made indirect affect on the other infectious diseases incidence.

Study Design: During COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, we retrospectively analyzed and compared reported cases of other infectious diseases,in order to found what impact of measures in controlling COVID-19 pandemic on the other infectious diseases in China.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed and compared reported cases of measles, pertussis, scarlet fever, seasonal influenza, mumps, HFMD each month in 2018, 2019 and 2020 from the National Health Commission, PRC.

The Infectious Disease Surveillance of Pediatrics (ISPED) program was established in 2015 to monitor and analyze the trends of bacterial epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in children. Clinical bacterial isolates were collected from 11 tertiary care children's hospitals in China in 2016 to 2020. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out using the Kirby-Bauer method or automated systems, with interpretation according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute 2019 breakpoints.

Article Synopsis
  • A study analyzed the impact of EV71 vaccination on encephalitis in hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) patients, comparing 292 vaccinated cases to 2,486 unvaccinated cases from 2018 and 2019.
  • Results indicated that the vaccinated group had a significantly lower incidence of encephalitis (p = .028), highlighting the vaccine's protective effect.
  • However, some vaccinated individuals still developed encephalitis, suggesting either insufficient immunity or other factors that need further exploration.

Background And Objective: (HI) is a common cause of community-acquired pneumonia in children. In many countries, HI strains are increasingly resistant to ampicillin and other commonly prescribed antibiotics, posing a challenge for effective clinical treatment. This study was undertaken to determine the antibiotic resistance profiles of HI isolates from Chinese children and to provide guidelines for clinical treatment.

Objective: To study the clinical characteristics, drug sensitivity of isolated strains, and risk factors of drug resistance in children with invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD).

Methods: The clinical characteristics and drug sensitivity of the isolated strains of 246 hospitalized children with IPD in nine grade A tertiary children's hospitals from January 2016 to June 2018 were analyzed.

Results: Of the 246 children with IPD, there were 122 males and 124 females.

The study was performed in EV71-infected patients, with 97 mild cases and 80 severe cases. IL-8251A/T genotypes were determined by the polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism technique. Severe cases had a significantly higher frequency of the IL8-251 AT and TT genotypes than mild cases (52.

The study was performed in 36 Chinese patients with Enterovirus 71 (EV71) encephalitis and 141 patients with EV71-related hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) without encephalitis. Genotyping was determined by polymerase chain reaction- restriction fragment length polymorphism. Patients with EV71 encephalitis had a significantly higher frequency of interleukin-8 (IL-8)-251TT genotype than patients with EV71-related HFMD without encephalitis (55.

Background: The accurate measurement of body composition is useful in assessments of infant growth and nutritional status.

Objective: This study evaluated the reliability and accuracy of a new air-displacement plethysmography (ADP) system for body-composition assessment in infants.

Design: Between- and within-day reliability was assessed by comparing the percentage body fat (%BF) obtained on consecutive days and on the same day, respectively, in 36 full-term infants.
