    Abstract Objective: To describe the characteristics, differential diagnoses, management and outcomes of severe encephalitis in children.
    Design: A 10-year retrospective cohort study in children admitted to a tertiary paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) with suspected encephalitis. One to 6 months' follow-up data were compared between different categories.
    Participants: Patients from 0 to 17 years of age with acute encephalopathy and one or more of fever, seizure, focal neurological findings, cerebrospinal fluid abnormalities, EEG/neuroimaging consistent with encephalitis.
    Main outcome measures: Epidemiology, clinical features, outcomes and risk factor analysis.
    Results: 175 children with encephalitis required intensive care unit (ICU) admission over 10 years. The median age was 4.5 months (IQR 1.6-54.8). The leading cause was enterovirus (n=49, 28%), followed by parechovirus, influenza, herpes simplex virus (HSV), human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6),
    Conclusions: Encephalitis has a varied aetiology and causes death or severe disability in 1 in every 10 children requiring intensive care.

    Abstract This multicenter study in Italian hospitals highlights the epidemiologic disruptions in the circulation of the 5 main respiratory viruses from 2019 to 2023. Our data reveal a resurgence of respiratory syncytial virus and influenza during the 2022-2023 winter season, with an earlier peak in cases for both viruses, emphasizing the importance of timely monitoring.

    Abstract Background and importance: Pediatric cardiac arrest is a rare emergency with associated high mortality. Its management is challenging and deviations from guidelines can affect clinical outcomes.
    Objectives: To evaluate the adherence to guideline recommendations in the management of a pediatric cardiac arrest scenario by teams of pediatric residents. Secondarily, the association between the use of the Pediatric Advanced Life Support-2015 (PALS-2015) pocket card, and the teams' adherence to international guidelines, were explored.
    Design, settings and participants: Multicentre observational simulation-based study at three Italian University Hospitals in 2018, including PALS-2015 certified pediatric residents in their 3rd-5th year of residency program, divided in teams of three.
    Intervention or exposure: Each team conducted a standard nonshockable pediatric cardiac arrest scenario and independently decided whether to use the PALS-2015 pocket card.
    Outcome measure and analysis: The primary outcome was the overall number and frequency of individual deviations from the PALS-2015 guidelines, measured by the novel c-DEV15plus score (range 0-15). Secondarily, the performance on the validated Clinical Performance Tool for asystole scenarios, the time to perform resuscitation tasks and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality metrics were compared between the teams that used and did not use the PALS-2015 pocket card.
    Main results: Twenty-seven teams (81 residents) were included. Overall, the median number of deviations per scenario was 7 out of 15 [interquartile range (IQR), 6-8]. The most frequent deviations were delays in positioning of a CPR board (92.6%), calling for adrenaline (92.6%), calling for help (88.9%) and incorrect/delayed administration of adrenaline (88.9%). The median Clinical Performance Tool score was 9 out of 13 (IQR, 7-10). The comparison between teams that used ( n  = 13) and did not use ( n  = 14) the PALS-2015 pocket card showed only significantly higher Clinical Performance Tool scores in the former group [9 (IQR 9-10) vs. 7 (IQR 6-8); P  = 0.002].
    Conclusions: Deviations from guidelines, although measured by means of a nonvalidated tool, were frequent in the management of a pediatric cardiac arrest scenario by pediatric residents. The use of the PALS-2015 pocket card was associated with better Clinical Performance Tool scores but was not associated with less deviations or shorter times to resuscitation tasks.

    Abstract: The first pediatric study demonstrating significantly higher positivity rate of nasal (mid-turbinate) swab testing over oropharyngeal swab testing in detecting SARS-CoV-2 (Fisher exact test 0.046, Cohen K 0.43, confidence interval 95%, 0.014-0.855). ... ...

    Abstract The first pediatric study demonstrating significantly higher positivity rate of nasal (mid-turbinate) swab testing over oropharyngeal swab testing in detecting SARS-CoV-2 (Fisher exact test 0.046, Cohen K 0.43, confidence interval 95%, 0.014-0.855). Benefits might include lower collection-related hazard for healthcare workers. We recommend it as preferred choice for swab-based SARS-CoV-2 testing in children.
