    Abstract Objective: The most common route of HIV infection in children is through perinatal transmission. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the characteristics of infants with HIV-infected mothers and perinatal HIV transmission.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective, single-center study of HIV-exposed infants in between December 2017 and October 2019 in a Marmara University Pendik Training and Research Hospital.
    Results: A total of 18 infants were examined. All babies were born by cesarean section, and none of them were breastfed. Seventeen mothers were diagnosed with HIV before pregnancy. These mothers had received antiretroviral therapy (ART) during pregnancy, and their viral loads before delivery were negative. An antiretroviral prophylaxis with oral zidovudine was started in all infants within their 1
    Conclusion: Our findings highlight the importance of initiating ART for all HIV-infected pregnant women and the importance of protection modalities during pregnancy, delivery, and the postnatal period for the prevention of perinatal transmission of HIV.

    Abstract Gradenigo's syndrome presents as a triad of retroorbital pain, ipsilateral abducens palsy, and purulent otorrhea. If the otologic pathologies in Gradenigo's syndrome go unnoticed, the condition could be misdiagnosed with neurological diseases because of retroorbital pain and abducens palsy. Treatment of Gradenigo's syndrome remains controversial. Although some reports state that long-term antibiotic treatment is sufficient, we recommended that management ought to be guided on a case-by-case basis depending on patient and disease factors. Herein, we report a delayed diagnosed pediatric case of Gradenigo's syndrome associated with acute otitis media that was treated with ventilation tube insertion.

    Abstract Background: Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) is a well-known causative agent of healthcare associated infection, it increases medical cost besides increasing morbidity and mortality. This study was conducted to determine the incidence, and economic burden of healthcare facility-onset C. difficile infection (HO-CDI) in children.
    Methods: Data was acquired with a prospective cohort study conducted in pediatric wards of a tertiary university hospital between August 2015 to August 2016. The HO-CDI was defined as diarrhea that began after 48 hours of admission with a positive cytotoxic stool assay for the presence of toxin A and/or B of C. difficile.
    Results: In the 3172 admissions in one year, 212 (7%) healthcare associated diarrhea (HAD) episodes were observed, in 25 (12%) of them C. difficile was identified in which 6 (25%) cases < 2-year-old. The incidence of HOCDI was estimated as 8.8/10,000 patient-days. Cases with HO-CDI (n=19) were compared with cases with non- CDI-HAD (n=102); the presence of one of the risk factors for CDI increased the risk for HO-CDI (5,05; 95% Cl: 1.10-23.05; P 0,037), the median length of stay (LOS) attributable HO-CDI was 7 days (IQR,5-10) per admission, whereas for non-CDI-HAD was 2 days (IQR,0-4) (p=0.036). General hospitalization costs in the two groups were similar, specifically estimated costs attributable to HO-CDI and non-CID-HAD were $294.0 and $137.0 per hospitalization respectively (p= < 0.0001).
    Conclusion: Although in children the incidence of HO-CDI is increasing, its clinical manifestation is still milder and effective infection control measures with antibiotic stewardship can limit related morbidly, mortality, LOS, and cost.

    Abstract Background/aim: Approximately 40 million individuals worldwide have been infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the novel coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Despite the current literature about the cardiac effects of COVID-19 in children, more information is required. We aimed to determine both cardiovascular and arrhythmia assessment via electrocardiographic and echocardiographic parameters.
    Materials and methods: We evaluated seventy children who were hospitalized with COVID-19 infections and seventy children as normal control group through laboratory findings, electrocardiography (ECG), and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE).
    Results: We observed significantly increased levels of Tp-Te, Tp-Te/QT, and Tp-Te/QTc compared with the control group. Twenty-five of 70 (35.7%) patients had fragmented QRS (fQRS) without increased troponin levels. On the other hand, none of the patients had pathologic corrected QT(QTc) prolongation during the illness or its treatment. On TTE, 20 patients had mild mitral insufficiency, among whom only five had systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction < 55%). There was no significant difference between the patient and control groups, except for isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT) in terms of mean systolic and diastolic function parameters. IVRT of COVID patients was significantly lower than that of control group.
    Conclusion: Despite all the adult studies, the effects of COVID‐19 on myocardial function are not well established in children. The thought that children are less affected by the illness may be a misconception.

    Abstract Objective: The exact role of children in the household transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is not clear. In this study, we investigated the role of children with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in household transmission by identifying the index patient and contact tracing the household members.
    Methods: A total of 103 children with COVID-19 who attended Marmara University Pendik Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, between 25 th March and 27 th May 2020 were included in the study. A family cluster was defined as a group of ≥two confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-2 in the same family, and a household contact (HHC) was defined as any person who had stayed in the same residence.
    Results: In total, 78 family clusters and 307 HHCs belonging to these clusters were screened. In only four clusters was the index case determined to be in the pediatric age group (5.1%). Fathers, mothers, grandparents, and adult siblings were identified as the index cases in 37 (47.4%), 18 (23.0%), 8 (10.2%), and 6 (7.7%) clusters, respectively. Of the 307 HHCs, 88 were in the pediatric age group, and 39 were SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR positive.
    Conclusion: Our data showed that SARS-CoV-2 is uncommon in children without any history of contact to a RT-PCR test positive patient. The role of children as the index patient in family clusters is 5.1%, and the actual index case is usually an adult individual who has had an outside contact.

    Abstract Background: The purpose of this study was to determine whether use of a video camera surveillance system for hand hygiene (HH) monitoring, video-based education, and feedback could improve the HH compliance in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
    Methods and materials: This was an interventional before-after trial conducted in a level-III NICU between July 2019 and June 2020. HH compliance was measured using randomly selected video-camera footage in the baseline, intervention, and maintenance periods. After the baseline, an intervention consisting of feedback and education with video scenarios was implemented. The primary outcome was change in HH compliance. The compliance rates were analyzed as an interrupted time series (ITS) with a segmented regression model adjusted for autocorrelation for each study period.
    Results: We identified a total of 8335 HH indications. There were non significant increases in the total compliance rate (9.0%, 95% CI -2% to 20%) at the time of intervention and in the compliance rate after intervention (0.26%, 95% CI -0.31% to 0.84%) per day. The hand hygiene compliance before patient contact significantly increased (19.8%, 95% CI, 4.8%-34.8%). Incorrect glove use improved non-significantly with the intervention (-3.4%, 95% CI -13.4% to 6.7%).
    Conclusion: In this study of HH monitoring using video-camera footage combined with an intervention including feedback and education, there were inconsistent improvements in HH compliance. However, these improvements were not sustained in the long term. Frequent feedback and education may be required to sustain high compliance.

    Abstract Objective: Despite marked improvements in the accessibility of childhood vaccines, knowledge gaps remain about the vaccination of children in special risk groups (SRG). This study aimed to analyze the clinical data of children vaccinated in SRG in a single-center unit to contribute to the clinical evidence for the specific planning of immunization of children in SRG. The second- ary aim is to present institutional consensus on the vaccination of children in SRG.
    Materials and methods: This retrospective study was conducted at a single-center pediatric vaccination clinic. Patient charts between 2018 and 2021 were retrospectively reviewed, and clinical and laboratory data were extracted. Serial joint meetings with multiple healthcare pro- fessionals were performed to develop an institutional protocol for vaccination.
    Results: There were 479 children vaccinated between 2018 and 2021 for reasons such as post- chemotherapy, after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, before/after solid organ trans- plantation, allergies, and chronic diseases. Of these, 298 (62.2%) children vaccinated in the unit due to a history of food or vaccine allergies were excluded. One hundred eighty-one children were vaccinated at a median age of 11 [7-15] years. Most children were vaccinated after treat- ment for malignancies. Solid tumors were the most frequent malignancy (67%), followed by acute lymphoblastic leukemia (29.0%) and acute myeloid leukemia (4.0%). Institutional vacci- nation protocols for cancer survivors, hematopoietic stem cells, and solid organ recipient chil- dren were developed and presented.
    Conclusion: There is a need to prepare national guidelines for vaccinating children with altered immunocompetence. Sharing vaccination practices by multidisciplinary vaccination units might increase and provide knowledge to develop national policies.
