Abstract

BackgroundMultisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), a hyperinflammatory condition associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, has emerged as a serious illness in children worldwide. Immunoglobulin or glucocorticoids, or both, are currently recommended treatments.MethodsThe Best Available Treatment Study evaluated immunomodulatory treatments for MIS-C in an international observational cohort. Analysis of the first 614 patients was previously reported. In this propensity-weighted cohort study, clinical and outcome data from children with suspected or proven MIS-C were collected onto a web-based Research Electronic Data Capture database. After excluding neonates and incomplete or duplicate records, inverse probability weighting was used to compare primary treatments with intravenous immunoglobulin, intravenous immunoglobulin plus glucocorticoids, or glucocorticoids alone, using intravenous immunoglobulin as the reference treatment. Primary outcomes were a composite of inotropic or ventilator support from the second day after treatment initiation, or death, and time to improvement on an ordinal clinical severity scale. Secondary outcomes included treatment escalation, clinical deterioration, fever, and coronary artery aneurysm occurrence and resolution. This study is registered with the ISRCTN registry, ISRCTN69546370.FindingsWe enrolled 2101 children (aged 0 months to 19 years) with clinically diagnosed MIS-C from 39 countries between June 14, 2020, and April 25, 2022, and, following exclusions, 2009 patients were included for analysis (median age 8·0 years [IQR 4·2-11·4], 1191 [59·3%] male and 818 [40·7%] female, and 825 [41·1%] White). 680 (33·8%) patients received primary treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin, 698 (34·7%) with intravenous immunoglobulin plus glucocorticoids, 487 (24·2%) with glucocorticoids alone; 59 (2·9%) patients received other combinations, including biologicals, and 85 (4·2%) patients received no immunomodulators. There were no significant differences between treatments for primary outcomes for the 1586 patients with complete baseline and outcome data that were considered for primary analysis. Adjusted odds ratios for ventilation, inotropic support, or death were 1·09 (95% CI 0·75-1·58; corrected p value=1·00) for intravenous immunoglobulin plus glucocorticoids and 0·93 (0·58-1·47; corrected p value=1·00) for glucocorticoids alone, versus intravenous immunoglobulin alone. Adjusted average hazard ratios for time to improvement were 1·04 (95% CI 0·91-1·20; corrected p value=1·00) for intravenous immunoglobulin plus glucocorticoids, and 0·84 (0·70-1·00; corrected p value=0·22) for glucocorticoids alone, versus intravenous immunoglobulin alone. Treatment escalation was less frequent for intravenous immunoglobulin plus glucocorticoids (OR 0·15 [95% CI 0·11-0·20]; p

Abstract

Resumen Introducción: Centroamérica experimenta una alta carga de la enfermedad por dengue aportando cerca de 8% de todos los casos del continente. Este trabajo reporta la epidemiología del dengue en la subregión en un período de 10 años. Objetivos: Documentar la epidemiología del dengue en Centro América y República Dominicana. Material y Métodos: Período de estudio: años 2005-2014. Se recopilaron y analizaron los datos de casos y muertes por dengue de los países de Centro América y República Dominicana, reportados por los Ministerios de Salud y se corroboró con los datos publicados en los boletines en línea y la base de datos interactiva de la Organización Panamericana de la Salud (OPS). Se obtuvieron estadísticas poblacionales de los Institutos Nacionales de Estadística y Censo de cada país. Resultados: Durante el período de estudio fueron notificados 1.118.464 casos de dengue. Reportados 32.431 casos graves, 888 personas fallecidas. La letalidad por caso de dengue fue en promedio 0,08%. Los cuatro serotipos de dengue circularon durante el decenio estudiado. Discusión: La información clínica y epidemiológica, indica tasas de incidencia alta, que han fluctuado en los últimos años, con co-circulación significativa de varios serotipos a la vez. Conclusiones: Se identificaron diferencias notorias en la recolección de datos de la vigilancia entre países. Se determinó un patrón epidemiológico heterogéneo. Background: Central America experiences a high burden of dengue reporting about 8% of all cases in the continent. This work reports the epidemiology of dengue in the sub region in a 10 years period. Aim: To describe the epidemiology of dengue in Central America and the Dominican Republic. Methods: Study period from 2005 to 2014. The data on dengue cases and deaths of the countries of Central America and the Dominican Republic, reported by the Ministries of Health, were compiled and analyzed and corroborated with the data published in the online bulletins and the interactive database of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). Population statistics were obtained from the National Statistics and Census Institutes of each country. Results: During the study period, 1,118,464 cases of dengue were notified. There were 32,431 serious cases reported, 888 people died. The lethality per case of dengue was on average 0.08%. The four dengue serotypes circulated during the decade analyzed. Discussion: Clinical and epidemiological information indicates high incidence rates, which have fluctuated in recent years, with significant co-circulation of several serotypes at the same time. Conclusions: Notorious surveillance data collection differences were identified between countries, determining a heterologous epidemiological pattern.

Abstract

Antecedentes: Costa Rica estableció la meta de eliminación del síndrome de rubéola congénita desde el año 2000. Datos oficiales de vigilancia reportan el último caso autóctono confirmado en el 2001. Para evaluar si se logró la meta de eliminación de la enfermedad se analizó, mediante una búsqueda retrospectiva, la calidad de la vigilancia del síndrome para determinar la existencia de casos que no fueron captados por el sistema vigente. Métodos: se utilizaron tres bases de datos aplicadas en el Hospital Nacional de Niños “Dr. Carlos Sáenz Herrera”, para identificar casos de niños menores de un año sospechosos de síndrome de rubeola congénita, nacidos entre enero 2003 a diciembre 2007: egresos hospitalarios, cataratas congénitas de la consulta de oftalmología y resultados IgM positivo por rubéola del laboratorio. Mediante la revisión de expedientes médicos se evaluó si los casos fueron detectados y abordados de acuerdo al protocolo de vigilancia vigente. Se aplicaron las definiciones de la Organización Mundial de la Salud de caso sospechoso, probable, confirmado e infección congénita para clasificar los casos. Se estimó una incidencia acumulada de casos compatibles (confirmados+probables). Resultados: Se revisaron 409 expedientes, identificando 369 casos sospechosos que, al concluir el análisis, se clasificaron en 191 descartados, 1 infección congénita, 9 probables y 2 confirmados (incidencia acumulada de casos compatibles: 2,5 por 100 000 nacimientos; IC 95%: 1,0-4,1), con un último caso confirmado en el año 2005. Hubo 166 casos sospechosos, los cuáles no se pudieron clasificar con la información existente. Conclusiones: En una fase de eliminación del síndrome de rubeola congénita es necesario complementar los sistemas de vigilancia pasivos, con estrategias de vigilancia activa que eleven la sensibilidad del sistema y generen la información requerida para verificar el logro de las metas en salud pública. Background: Costa Rica established in 2000 the goal to eradicate rubella and congenital rubella syndrome (CRS). Official surveillance data reports the last confirmed autochthonous case in 2001. In order to assess if such goal was achieved, this study analyzed the quality of surveillance through a retrospective search, in order to determine if there were cases not identified by the current surveillance system. Methods: We used three data bases from the National Children’s Hospital “Dr. Carlos Sáenz Herrera”, to identify cases of children under one year suspicious for CRS, born between January 2003 and December 2007: hospital discharges, congenital cataract cases referred to the Ophthalmology Department and children with positive lab tests for rubella IgM. By reviewing medical records, we assessed whether the cases identified followed the applicable surveillance protocol. We applied the WHO definitions of suspected, probable, confirmed and congenital rubella infection to classify cases. A cumulative incidence of compatible CRS cases (probable + confirmed) was estimated. Results: 409 medical records were reviewed and 369 suspicious cases were identified. Of these, 191 were dismissed, 1 had a congenital infection, 9 were classified as probable and 2 were confirmed. The cumulative incidence of observed CRS was 2.5 per 100 000 live births (95% CI 1.0 to 4.1), with the last confirmed case in 2005. There were 166 cases that remained as suspicious, due to lack of information. Conclusions: In the eradication phase of congenital rubella syndrome, it is necessary to complement passive surveillance systems with active surveillance strategies that increase the sensitivity of the system and generate the information required to verify the achievement of public health goals.

Abstract

Introduction: To describe the impact following a 1-dose Varicella vaccination schedule introduced in Costa Rica in September 2007. Areas covered: This is a retrospective review using epidemiologic surveillance national databases of varicella cases and hospitalizations, period 2000–2015. We analyzed age-related varicella incidence cases and hospitalization trends before and after the vaccine introduction. Expert commentary: Varicella vaccine coverage among children 16 months age increased from 76% in 2008 to 95% in 2015. During this period Costa Rica reached a 73.8% reduction of Varicella reported cases and 85.9% reduction of hospitalizations in the general population. Among children under 5 years of age, that reduction was 79.1% and 87%, respectively. Varicella complications in hospitalized patients decreased 98%, from n = 53 in 2008 to n = 1 in 2014. After 8-years post implementation of a 1-dose schedule of universal varicella vaccination, a dramatic overall disease reduction in incidence, hospitalizations and complicated cases has been observed in all age groups.

Abstract

Background Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), a hyperinflammatory condition associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, has emerged as a serious illness in children worldwide. Immunoglobulin or glucocorticoids, or both, are currently recommended treatments. Methods The Best Available Treatment Study evaluated immunomodulatory treatments for MIS-C in an international observational cohort. Analysis of the first 614 patients was previously reported. In this propensity-weighted cohort study, clinical and outcome data from children with suspected or proven MIS-C were collected onto a web-based Research Electronic Data Capture database. After excluding neonates and incomplete or duplicate records, inverse probability weighting was used to compare primary treatments with intravenous immunoglobulin, intravenous immunoglobulin plus glucocorticoids, or glucocorticoids alone, using intravenous immunoglobulin as the reference treatment. Primary outcomes were a composite of inotropic or ventilator support from the second day after treatment initiation, or death, and time to improvement on an ordinal clinical severity scale. Secondary outcomes included treatment escalation, clinical deterioration, fever, and coronary artery aneurysm occurrence and resolution. This study is registered with the ISRCTN registry, ISRCTN69546370. Findings We enrolled 2101 children (aged 0 months to 19 years) with clinically diagnosed MIS-C from 39 countries between June 14, 2020, and April 25, 2022, and, following exclusions, 2009 patients were included for analysis (median age 8·0 years [IQR 4·2–11·4], 1191 [59·3%] male and 818 [40·7%] female, and 825 [41·1%] White). 680 (33·8%) patients received primary treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin, 698 (34·7%) with intravenous immunoglobulin plus glucocorticoids, 487 (24·2%) with glucocorticoids alone; 59 (2·9%) patients received other combinations, including biologicals, and 85 (4·2%) patients received no immunomodulators. There were no significant differences between treatments for primary outcomes for the 1586 patients with complete baseline and outcome data that were considered for primary analysis. Adjusted odds ratios for ventilation, inotropic support, or death were 1·09 (95% CI 0·75–1·58; corrected p value=1·00) for intravenous immunoglobulin plus glucocorticoids and 0·93 (0·58–1·47; corrected p value=1·00) for glucocorticoids alone, versus intravenous immunoglobulin alone. Adjusted average hazard ratios for time to improvement were 1·04 (95% CI 0·91–1·20; corrected p value=1·00) for intravenous immunoglobulin plus glucocorticoids, and 0·84 (0·70–1·00; corrected p value=0·22) for glucocorticoids alone, versus intravenous immunoglobulin alone. Treatment escalation was less frequent for intravenous immunoglobulin plus glucocorticoids (OR 0·15 [95% CI 0·11–0·20]; p

Abstract

Background: Central America experiences a high burden of dengue reporting about 8% of all cases in the continent. This work reports the epidemiology of dengue in the sub region in a 10 years period., Aim: To describe the epidemiology of dengue in Central America and the Dominican Republic., Methods: Study period from 2005 to 2014. The data on dengue cases and deaths of the countries of Central America and the Dominican Republic, reported by the Ministries of Health, were compiled and analyzed and corroborated with the data published in the online bulletins and the interactive database of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). Population statistics were obtained from the National Statistics and Census Institutes of each country., Results: During the study period, 1,118,464 cases of dengue were notified. There were 32,431 serious cases reported, 888 people died. The lethality per case of dengue was on average 0.08%. The four dengue serotypes circulated during the decade analyzed., Discussion: Clinical and epidemiological information indicates high incidence rates, which have fluctuated in recent years, with significant co-circulation of several serotypes at the same time., Conclusions: Notorious surveillance data collection differences were identified between countries, determining a heterologous epidemiological pattern.

Abstract

Invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) is the leading cause of vaccine preventable deaths in children < 5 years worldwide and it causes a significant disease burden in Latin America and the Caribbean. In order to combat the increasing incidence of IPD in our region, the vast majority of countries have included pneumococcal vaccines as a preventive strategy. The GREEN group (Grupo Regional de Estudio de la Enfermedad Neumococica) has been created to study pneumococcal disease, unify data from the Latin American countries and learn in detail the epidemiology pre and post-pneumococcal vaccination.

Abstract

A 10 year-old child, with a history of a right cervical mass, is admitted to the Costa Rican National Children's Hospital for workup. The mass appeared approximately 4 weeks before admission. Laboratory tests were performed and malignity, infection and immunologic causes were ruled out. A biopsy was performed revealing granulomas characterized by central necrosis with abundant karyorrhexis, surrounded by histiocytes, lymphocytes and giant multinucleated cells, without neutrophils. Special stains showed no microorganisms. Once infectious and immunologic causes were excluded, and based on the biopsy's result, treatment was ruled out. Twelve months later, the patient is still asymptomatic; therefore, the diagnosis of a Kikuchi-Fujimoto syndrome was proposed. This report constitutes the first pediatric case diagnosed in our country.
