    Abstract Background: Parvovirus is a common childhood infection that could be very dangerous to the fetus, if pregnant women become infected. The spectrum of effects range from pure red blood cell aplasia with hydrops fetalis to meningoencephalitis, with many symptoms in between. Severe anemia in the setting of pure red blood cell aplasia is one of the more common effects that neonatal experience (if infected intrapartum), with the current gold standard treatment being intrauterine or postnatal packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusions, yet intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) may be a superior treatment option.
    Case presentation: A preterm infant was born at 26th week of gestational age via emergency Cesarean section due to hydrops fetalis, with parvovirus B19 exposure one month prior. The infant tested positive for IgM antibodies against parvovirus B19. Among many other serious complications of both hydrops fetalis and premature delivery, the infant had severe unremitting anemia, and received many PRBC transfusion over the course of his 71-day-long neonatal intensive care unit stay. During a follow up appointments as outpatient, his blood tests showed persistent high copies of parvovirus B19. He was then supported with PRBC transfusions and treated with IVIG. After three doses of IVIG, the infant's parvovirus B19 viral copy numbers have dramatically reduced and the infant did not require any more PRBC transfusions.
    Conclusions: IVIG infusion effectively treated the parvovirus B19 infection and restored erythropoiesis making the child transfusion independent. Furthermore, since IVIG is safe and readily crosses the placenta, further studies are needed to determine if IVIG should be considered as an alternative prenatal treatment for congenital parvovirus B19 infection.

    Abstract Background: Children with nephrotic syndrome are at increased risk of infections, including bacterial peritonitis, pneumonia, and cellulitis. However, bacterial meningitis, a potentially life-threatening complication, has not been highlighted as an infectious complication of nephrotic syndrome in recent reviews. We report a very subtle and unusual presentation of bacterial meningitis in a child with nephrotic syndrome, which without a high index of suspicion, would have been missed.
    Case presentation: A 9-year-old African-American male with a history of steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome presented to the nephrology clinic for routine follow-up. His medications included mycophenolate mofetil and alternate-day steroids. His only complaint was neck pain and stiffness that the mother attributed to muscle tightness relieved by massage. There was no history of fever, vomiting, headache, photophobia, or altered mental status. On physical examination, he was afebrile (99 °F), but had mild periorbital swelling and edema on lower extremities. He appeared ill and exhibited neck rigidity, and demonstrated reflex knee flexion when the neck was bent. Laboratory evaluation revealed leukocytosis, elevated C-reactive protein, hypoalbuminemia, and proteinuria. Cerebrospinal fluid suggested bacterial meningitis. The patient was treated with ceftriaxone and vancomycin. Both cerebrospinal and blood cultures grew Streptococcus pneumoniae; vancomycin was discontinued. The child completed a 2-week course of ceftriaxone and was discharged home.
    Conclusions: A high index of suspicion is necessary in children with nephrotic syndrome treated with corticosteroids, as symptoms may be masked, and thus, a life-threatening disease be missed. Bacterial meningitis should be highlighted as a serious infection complication in children with nephrotic syndrome.

    Abstract Oral mucositis remains a concern in the treatment of head and neck malignancies. This small study included 11 patients treated by hypo-fractionated radiotherapy and assessed for oral mucositis. All patients received a radiation dose of 55 Gy in 20 fractions (2.75 Gy/fraction). At the end of the first week of radiation, three patients had Grade I oral mucositis. During the last week of radiation, most of the patients developed Grade II and III mucositis, 7 (64%) and 4 (36%), respectively. At one month follow-up, 5 (46%) of them had Grade I, while 2 (18%) had developed Grade II mucositis. At three months, 2 (18%) had Grade I mucositis, and none of the patients showed Grade II/III oral mucositis. Grade II oral mucositis was the most common grade found mainly in the last week of radiation therapy. None had Grade IV oral mucositis. Key Words: Acute oral mucositis, Hypo-fractioned radiation, Oral carcinoma.

    Abstract Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has affected children differently from adults worldwide. Data on the clinical presentation of the infection in children are limited. We present a detailed account of pediatric inpatients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 virus at our institution during widespread local transmission, aiming to understand disease presentation and outcomes. A retrospective chart review was performed of children, ages 0 to 18 years, with a positive polymerase chain reaction test for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 on nasopharyngeal specimens admitted to our hospital over a 4-week period. We present clinical data from 22 patients and highlight the variability of the presentation. In our study, most children presented without respiratory illness or symptoms suggestive of COVID-19; many were identified only because of universal testing. Because children may have variable signs and symptoms of COVID-19 infection, targeted testing may miss some cases.

    Abstract Abscopal effect is defined as a phenomenon where radiation delivery at one site induces shrinkage of disease at a distant site, outside the radiation field. Although it is an old concept but with recent advancements in the fields of diagnostic and therapeutic oncology, this effect has gained popularity and nowadays has become an area of interest for the researchers.With the current success of immunotherapy, there is robust and interesting data looming to evaluate potential synergistic effect of radiation coupled with immunotherapy to attain abscopal effect. Our article highlights background, mechanism and a brief literature review for abscopal response in conjunction with immunotherapy. Keywords: Abscopal Effect, Radiation, Immunotherapy, Personalized Medicine.
