The most common tachyarrhythmias in childhood are narrow QRS complex tachyarrhythmias. The majority of these are supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). If electrocardiography is inconsistent with typical SVT, another underlying arrhythmia should be considered. In this case, a patient with narrow complex tachycardia who was diagnosed with atrial flutter after adenosine was presented to increase awareness on the subject.

Fever and rash are a common symptom combination in children. Etiological studies are carried out primarily for the most common diseases. For this reason, in the period of the new Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, especially COVID-19-related multi-inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) comes to mind in children with this combination. Measles infection was detected in an 18-monthold Syrian girl who was hospitalized with the diagnosis of fever, conjunctivitis, pneumonia, maculopapular rash during the COVID-19 pandemic period. The case died with pneumonia and septic shock. With this case, we wanted to emphasize that during the COVID-19 pandemic, and measles should also be considered in the differential diagnosis of MIS-C in cases with fever, maculopapular rash and conjunctivitis.

Invasive and noninvasive mechanical ventilation (MV) applications are used for patients with respiratory insufficiency. Noninvasive MV has been increasingly used in pediatric intensive care units in recent years. For this purpose, high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy is a treatment method that has been increasingly used. Despite the numerous studies reporting the advantages of this method, there are also a few studies reporting that undesirable conditions can be observed. In this paper, in order to contribute to the literature, we present a 3-month-old baby who developed pneumothorax during HFNC implementation.
