RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To determine features that distinguish febrile young infants with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective single-center study included febrile infants <57 days of age evaluated in the emergency department of Cohen Children's Medical Center of Northwell Health, New Hyde Park, New York, from March 1 to April 30 of 2018, 2019, and 2020. Sociodemographic and clinical features were compared between those seen during the 2020 coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic and previous years, as well as between infants with SARS-CoV-2 infection and infants without SARS-CoV-2 infection (SARS-CoV-2 negative or evaluated during 2018 and 2019). RESULTS: In all, 124 febrile infants <57 days of age were identified; 38 during the 2-month study period in 2018, 33 in 2019, and 53 in 2020. During 2020, fewer febrile infants had a serious bacterial infection or a positive respiratory viral panel than in prior years (6% vs 21% [P = .02]; 15% vs 53% [P < .001], respectively). SARS-CoV-2 was the most frequent pathogen detected in 2020; of 30 infants tested, 20 tested positive. Infants with SARS-CoV-2 were more likely to identify as Hispanic (P = .004), have public insurance or be uninsured (P = .01), exhibited lethargy (P = .02), had feeding difficulties (P = .002), and had lower white blood cell (P = .001), neutrophil (P < .001), and lymphocyte counts (P = .005) than the 81 infants without SARS-CoV-2 infection. None of the infants with SARS-CoV-2 had concurrent serious bacterial infection or detection of another virus. Overall, disease in infants with SARS-CoV-2 was mild. CONCLUSIONS: During the peak of the pandemic, SARS-CoV-2 was the predominant pathogen among febrile infants. Socioeconomic, historical, and laboratory features differed significantly between infants infected or not infected with SARS-CoV-2. None of the 20 infants with SARS-CoV-2 infection had an identified coviral or serious bacterial infection.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinical features of osteoarticular infection in infants cared for in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and to assess the presence of multifocal infection. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective medical record review with structured data abstraction of infants with osteomyelitis or pyogenic arthritis or both in NICUs at 3 children's hospitals over a 29-year period. RESULTS: Of the 45 cases identified, 87% occurred in prematurely born infants, with a median gestational age of 27.4 weeks (IQR, 26, 31 weeks). Median postnatal age at diagnosis of infection was 33 days (IQR, 20, 50 days). Osteomyelitis was present without joint involvement in 53% and with joint involvement in 44% of cases. Methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (71%) was the predominant pathogen, despite prevalent methicillin-resistant S aureus in community-associated infections. More than 1 bone was infected in 34% of cases. The femur (in 50% of patients) was the most frequently involved bone and the hip (in 20% of patients) was the most frequently involved joint. Bacteremia persisted for 4 or more days in 54% of patients with a positive blood culture despite active antimicrobial therapy. CONCLUSIONS: Among infants with osteoarticular infection in NICUs, multifocal disease is common and frequently is unsuspected. Search for additional sites of infection including the hip is warranted following the diagnosis of osteoarticular infection at a single site. Involvement of contiguous joints should be suspected in cases of osteomyelitis; conversely the presence of pyogenic arthritis usually indicates extant osteomyelitis in a contiguous bone.

RESUMO

We report on the presentation and course of 33 children with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children and confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. Hemodynamic instability and cardiac dysfunction were prominent findings, with most patients exhibiting rapid resolution following anti-inflammatory therapy.
