Pleuropulmonary Ultrasound in Pediatrics Proposal of a Reporting Model From the Academy of Thoracic Ultrasound

Antonella Amendolea et al.

Summary: With the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic, pleuropulmonary ultrasound has become a common tool in clinical practice, emphasizing the need for clinicians to speak a common ultrasound language. The Italian scientific society AdET has been studying and promoting pulmonary ultrasound for years, aiming to share a standardized approach in interpreting images and reaching diagnostic conclusions.

RSV Epidemiology in Australia Before and During COVID-19

Gemma L. Saravanos et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 public health measures have affected the seasonality of RSV in Australia in 2020, but the severity of the epidemic did not increase compared to previous years. The increase in RSV infections among children aged 2 to 4 years may be attributed to population susceptibility and increased testing in older children.

Styliani Pappa et al.

Summary: An unexpected surge of RSV infections among children was observed in Greece, with RSV-A being the predominant subtype. This may be attributed to the lack of immunity among children and mothers due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Awareness and molecular epidemiology are crucial for diagnosing and monitoring RSV infections.

Lung Ultrasound to Detect Pneumothorax in Children Evaluated for Acute Chest Pain in the Emergency Department: An Observational Pilot Study

Barbara Scialanga et al.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze children with suspected pneumothorax in the pediatric emergency department. Lung ultrasound and chest X-ray were performed on 77 children, and it was found that the lung point and the barcode sign have high sensitivity and specificity in detecting pneumothorax.

Epidemiology, Microbiology and Severity of Bronchiolitis in the First Post-Lockdown Cold Season in Three Different Geographical Areas in Italy: A Prospective, Observational Study

Anna Camporesi et al.

Summary: The aim of this study was to understand the epidemiology, disease severity, and microbiology of bronchiolitis in Italy during the 2021-2022 cold season, outside of lockdowns. The bronchiolitis season started and peaked earlier than usual, but had a shorter duration. The severity of the disease did not increase compared to previous seasons, and SARS-CoV-2 was rarely a cause of bronchiolitis in children under 24 months of age.

Early Impact of Social Distancing in Response to Coronavirus Disease 2019 on Hospitalizations for Acute Bronchiolitis in Infants in Brazil

Frederico Friedrich et al.

Summary: The study found a significant reduction in hospital admissions for acute bronchiolitis in infants under 1 year old in Brazil due to the social distancing measures implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic. The reduction ranged from 58% to 93% across different regions of Brazil, indicating the important impact of social distancing on reducing the transmission of respiratory viruses.

David Torres-Fernandez et al.

Summary: In 2020, there was a significant decrease in Pediatric emergency department visits, near disappearance of RSV cases, and a dramatic reduction of bronchiolitis admissions in Spanish hospitals compared to the preceding four years. The reopening of schools and kindergarten did not lead to a remarkable increase in RSV cases or bronchiolitis hospitalizations.

Summary: Stay-at-home orders, physical distancing, and face masks have significantly reduced the number of bronchiolitis hospitalizations in Antwerp and registered RSV cases in Belgium. The 2020 winter bronchiolitis peak is currently non-existent, but concerns remain for a potential 'delayed' spring/summer peak as NPIs are relaxed and pre-pandemic life resumes.
