Performance of QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus assays in paediatric tuberculosis: a multicentre PTBNET study

Danilo Buonsenso, Antoni Noguera-Julian, Rossana Moroni, Angel Hernandez-Bartolome, Nora Fritschi, Laura Lancella, Laura Cursi, Aleix Soler-Garcia, Renate Krueger, Cornelia Feiterna-Sperling, Michela Sali, Andrea Lo Vecchio, Sara Scarano, Alicia Hernanz Lobo, Maria Espiau, Antonio Soriano-Arandes, Benhur Sirvan Cetin, Folke Brinkmann, Iveta Ozere, Fernando Baquero-Artigao, Maria Tsolia, Milheiro Tiago Silva, Matilde Bustillo-Alonso, Andrea Martin Nalda, Margherita Mancini, Anna Starshinova, Nicole Ritz, Svetlana Velizarova, Laura Ferreras-Antolin, Florian Goetzinger, Olga Bilogortseva, Vira Chechenyeva, Marc Tebruegge, Begona Santiago-Garcia

Summary: The latest generation IGRA assay, QFT-Plus, does not perform better than previous generation IGRAs or the TST in children with TB disease. Tests performed worse in children with CNS and miliary TB, as well as in immunocompromised children. None of the tests evaluated had sufficiently high sensitivity to be used as a rule-out test in children with suspected TB.

Treatment options for children with multi-drug resistant tuberculosis

Gianluca Bossu, Giovanni Autore, Luca Bernardi, Danilo Buonsenso, Giovanni Battista Migliori, Susanna Esposito

Summary: According to the latest report from WHO, around 10.0 million people were affected by tuberculosis (TB) in 2020, with 12% being children under 15 years old. Limited knowledge and lack of registered drugs suitable for pediatric use pose challenges in treating multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB) in children. This review focuses on therapeutic options and prophylactic management of MDR-TB in children.

Summary: Achondroplasia is a common skeletal dysplasia in humans, caused by mutations in the FGFR3 gene. Although its cardinal features and inheritance have been well-established, feeding and nutritional complications have not been given much prominence.

Assessing Prevalence and Characteristics of Oro-bulbar Involvement in Children and Adults with SMA Type 2 and 3 Using a Multimodal Approach

Summary: This study found that bulbar and jaw muscles are impaired in SMA patients, leading to difficulties in mastication and swallowing. However, long-term treatment with nusinersen medication can help stabilize oro-bulbar function and improve these issues.

Type I spinal muscular atrophy patients treated with nusinersen: 4-year follow-up of motor, respiratory and bulbar function

Summary: This study reports the 4-year follow-up in type I SMA patients treated with nusinersen and the changes in motor, respiratory and bulbar function in relation to subtype, age and SMN2 copy number. The results show that nusinersen treatment significantly improves motor, respiratory and bulbar function in SMA patients. Changes in CHOP INTEND and HINE-II scores were associated with age, nutritional and respiratory status.

Profiling the Urobiota in a Pediatric Population with Neurogenic Bladder Secondary to Spinal Dysraphism

Flavio De Maio, Giacomo Grotti, Francesco Mariani, Danilo Buonsenso, Giulia Santarelli, Delia Mercedes Bianco, Brunella Posteraro, Maurizio Sanguinetti, Claudia Rendeli

Summary: It was previously believed that the human bladder is sterile, but recent advances in molecular biology have shown the presence of microorganisms in the urinary tract. Understanding the relationship between urobiota and urinary tract disorders has become a significant research focus. Patients with spina bifida (SB), a condition that can lead to neurogenic bladder and increased susceptibility to urinary tract infections, often undergo clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) for treatment. This study aims to investigate the urobiota composition in SB patients compared to healthy controls and explore the urobiota characteristics in relation to CIC.

Summary: This study aimed to describe and quantify the impact of blenderized tube feeding (BTF) on gastrointestinal symptoms in children and adults. The results showed that gastrointestinal symptoms improved after consuming BTF, with a decrease of 30-50% in gagging and retching for children and similar improvement rates for constipation and diarrhea in most critically ill adults.

Risk Factors for Persistent Anosmia and Dysgeusia in Children with SARS-CoV-2 Infection: A Retrospective Study

Francesco Mariani, Rosa Morello, Daniele Omar Traini, Anna La Rocca, Cristina De Rose, Piero Valentini, Danilo Buonsenso

Summary: The study aims to investigate the presence of olfactory/gustative problems in children with COVID-19 infection and their association with risk factors. The results showed that being infected with a pre-Omicron variant, experiencing olfactory/gustative dysfunction during the acute phase, and hospitalization were significant risk factors for persistent dysfunction.

Comparison between Nasopharyngeal and Saliva Samples for the Detection of Respiratory Viruses in Children with Acute Lower Respiratory Tract Infections: A Pilot Study

Danilo Buonsenso, Piero Valentini, Francesco Mariani, Silvia Di Noi, Sofia Mazza, Ivana Palucci, Maurizio Sanguinetti, Michela Sali

Summary: The use of salivary swabs (SS) to detect SARS-CoV-2 in adults and children during the COVID-19 pandemic has been widely studied. However, the role of SS in detecting other respiratory viruses in children is not well investigated. This study found that SS has a relatively low sensitivity in detecting common respiratory viruses in children, especially in younger children or those with smaller amounts of saliva collected. New strategies to improve saliva collection are needed for testing on a larger study population.

Summary: This study provides an overview of the clinical phenotypes associated with 4 SMN2 copies. The results show variability in untreated patients, ranging from type II to type IV, with an overall reduction in functional scores as age increases. The risk of losing ambulation is significantly associated with SMA type, and women have a lower risk of losing ambulation compared to men.

Role of Valganciclovir in Children with Congenital CMV Infection: A Review of the Literature

Davide Pata, Danilo Buonsenso, Arianna Turriziani-Colonna, Gilda Salerno, Lucia Scarlato, Lara Colussi, Rolando Ulloa-Gutierrez, Piero Valentini

Summary: This article reviews the efficacy and possible side effects of Valganciclovir as a therapy for children with congenital CMV infection. The results indicate that the therapeutic protocols used in the studies varied, and neonatal antiviral treatments were only moderately effective. Randomized controlled trials are needed to establish the correct effective dose and duration of therapy.
