C-Reactive Protein Is Associated with Severity in Hospitalized Children with Respiratory Syncytial Virus Bronchiolitis.

Background: Acute bronchiolitis, primarily caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), is the leading cause of hospitalization in young children. Despite international guidelines supporting clinical diagnosis, laboratory evaluations are often conducted with limited validity.

Objectives: To evaluate the association between C-reactive protein (CRP) serum levels on admission and disease severity in children hospitalized due to RSV bronchiolitis.

Monocyte and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratios in hospitalized children with RSV bronchiolitis.

Objective: Acute bronchiolitis is the most common cause of hospitalization in young children. Data on monocyte-to-lymphocyte-ratio (MLR) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte-ratio (NLR) as biomarkers are limited. We aim to evaluate these ratios in children hospitalized with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis and their value as biomarkers for severe clinical outcomes.

Clinical and Demographic Characteristics of Patients With a New Diagnosis of Carriage or Clinical Infection With Carbapenemase-Producing : A Retrospective Study.

To examine the clinical, demographic, and microbiologic characteristics of new rectal carbapenemase-producing carbapenem-resistant (CP-CRE) carriers vs. those with a clinical infection, hospitalized at Padeh-Poriya Medical Center between 2014 and 2017 and to examine the susceptibility profiles of isolates from clinical infections. In this retrospective, chart analysis, demographic and clinical data were collected from medical charts of 175 adult patients with either new- onset carbapenemase-producing (CPE) carriage or clinical CPE infection.
