    Abstract Purpose: It was aimed to evaluate the retinochoroidal microvascular alterations of pediatric beta-thalassemia patients and investigate the effect of blood transfusion on perfusion among transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT), by means of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
    Methods: In this multicentered, prospective, cross-sectional study, 56 TDT, 14 non-TDT (NTDT), and 63 healthy children were evaluated. The vessel density (VD) in superficial capillary plexus (SCP), deep capillary plexus, radial peripapillary capillary network, choriocapillaris, and the foveal avascular zone area (FAZ) were evaluated by OCTA. Before and after transfusion values ​​of the TDT group were compared, and correlations were made with blood values ​​and iron accumulation.
    Results: Foveal and parafoveal zones were significantly thinner among TDT patients, with larger FAZ area. Macula VD of SCP and ppVD was lowest in NTDT group. In the TDT group, a decrease in retinal nerve fiber thickness and ppVD values was detected ​​after transfusion. A negative significant relationship was found between both hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Htc), and ppVD.
    Conclusions: OCTA provides a better insight into retinal and choriocapillaris vascular impairment influenced by tissue hypoxia and oxidative stress in different clinical phenotypes of beta-thalassemia.

    Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between interleukin-33 (IL-33) and its receptor Soluble Suppression of Tumorigenicity-2 (sST2) levels and bacterial infections during febrile neutropenia (FN) in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). In this prospective, case-control study, participants were divided into 3 groups: ALL patients with FN (Group A), ALL patients without neutropenia and fever (Group B), and healthy children without infection and chronic disease (Group C). There were 30 cases in each group. Blood samples for IL-33 and sST2 have been drawn from patients in Group A before the initiation of treatment and on days 1 and 5 of treatment, and from patients in Groups B and C at initiation. At admission, mean IL-33 level (39.02 ± 26.40 ng/L) in Group B and mean sST2 level (185.3 ± 371.49 ng/ml) in Group A were significantly higher than the other groups (p = 0.038, p < 0.001, respectively). No difference was observed in the mean IL-33 and sST2 levels in the 5-day follow-up of patients in Group A (p = 0.82, p = 0.86, respectively). IL-33 and sST2 levels were not associated with fever duration, neutropenia duration or length of hospitalization. While C-reactive protein (CRP) was significantly higher in patients with positive blood culture (p = 0.021), IL-33 (p = 0.49) and sST2 (p = 0.21) levels were not associated with culture positivity.  Conclusion: IL-33 and sST2 levels were not found valuable as diagnostic and prognostic markers to predict bacterial sepsis in patients with FN. What is Known: • Neutropenic patients are at high risk of serious bacterial and viral infections, but the admission symptom is often only fever. • Febrile neutropenia has a high mortality rate if not treated effectively. What is New: • Febrile neutropenia is not only caused by bacterial infections. Therefore, new biomarkers should be identified to prevent overuse of antibiotics. • Specific biomarkers are needed to diagnose bacterial sepsis in the early phase of febrile neutropenia.

    Abstract Objectives: To determine demographic features of patients provided intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) excluding replacement therapy in the inpatient services and to evaluate indications for IVIG, and side effects related to therapy. Methods: Patients who received IVIG therapy between January 2016 and August 2018 were retrospectively identified. The demographic features, diagnosis, IVIG dose, number of days they underwent IVIG therapy, and whether or not they experienced IVIG-related side effects were recorded. Results: A total of 186 patients were included in this study, and of these, 89 (47.8%) were females. The median age of all of the patients was 48.5 months old (range 13-120 months). When the IVIG indications were examined, the hematological disease group had the highest number of patients (n=73, 39.2%). The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) labeled use rate was 45.7%. Side effects were seen in 15 (3.81%) of the 394 IVIG infusions, 2 of which were acute kidney failure and nausea/vomiting as delayed onset side effects. The rapid onset side effects included fever (n=5), headache (n=3), rash and redness (n=2), and pain in the infusion area, hypotension, and hypertension (n=1). Conclusion: Intravenous immunoglobulin preparations are used for the treatment of many diseases due to their immunoregulatory effects. In recent years, the use of IVIGs without FDA approval has been increasing.

    Abstract Background: Pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency is the most common enzyme abnormality in the glycolytic pathway. Here, we describe two siblings with PK deficiency that mimicked congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (CDA) type I.
    Case: The siblings were referred to our hospital for evaluation of anemia when they were newborns. Their PK enzyme activities were normal. Their bone marrow aspirations and electron microscopies showed CDA-like findings. A CDA panel with next-generation sequencing showed no mutation. Though their PK enzyme levels were normal, a molecular study of the PKLR gene showed a homozygous variant c.1623G > C (p.Lys541Asn) in exon 12 of our patients.
    Conclusions: Although the diagnosis of pyruvate kinase deficiency is difficult, it can be confused with many other diagnoses. Bone marrow findings of these cases are similar to congenital dyserythropoietic anemia. In patients with normal pyruvate kinase enzyme levels, the diagnosis cannot be excluded and genetic analysis is required.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to explore adolescent survivors' views and expectations about long-term follow-up care.
    Methods: Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with 16 adolescent survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Survivors who had completed treatment at least 2 years ago were involved in the study. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. An inductive thematic approach was used to analyse the data.
    Results: Four main themes and sub-themes were identified from the analysis as follows: information needs with three sub-themes 'long-term follow-up, healthy life and social life', support needs with three sub-themes 'psychosocial (peer relations etc.), school related and social-emotional (fear of relapse, body image, self-esteem, etc.)', perceived benefits with two sub-themes 'social-emotional and related to long-term follow-up' and perceived barriers 'medical-hospital related and social life'.
    Conclusions: Adolescent survivors mainly need support in terms of psychosocial aspects: self-esteem-body image, school, peer relations and social activities during follow-up. Identified barriers related to follow-up were school absence and not able to participate social activities. Adolescents specify health promotion approaches as benefits aspects of follow-up. The findings of this study will guide nurses in the long-term follow-up care of adolescent survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and provide an opportunity to plan individualised follow-up care.
