Changes in Etiology and Clinical Outcomes of Pleural empyema during the COVID-19 Pandemic

King-Pui Florence Chan et al.

Summary: Healthcare-seeking behavior changed during the COVID-19 pandemic and might alter the epidemiology of pleural empyema. This study compares the incidence, etiology, and outcomes of pleural empyema patients in Hong Kong before and after COVID-19. The incidence of pleural empyema in children significantly decreased in the post-COVID-19 period, while it remained similar in adults. The etiology shifted towards polymicrobial infections and decreased S. pneumoniae infections. Clinical outcomes did not significantly differ between the pre- and post-COVID-19 periods.

Epidemiology of respiratory syncytial virus in children younger than 5 years in England during the COVID-19 pandemic, measured by laboratory, clinical, and syndromic surveillance: a retrospective observational study

Megan Bardsley et al.

Summary: This study describes the epidemiological changes of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) among children under 5 years old in England since 2020. The study found that RSV activity was significantly reduced during the winter of 2020-21, but an unprecedented summer surge occurred in 2021. Rating: 9/10.

Summary: In a study among children with outpatient CAP, a 5-day antibiotic strategy was found to be superior to a 10-day strategy, resulting in similar clinical response and antibiotic-associated adverse effects, while reducing antibiotic exposure and resistance.

Association of Nonpharmaceutical Interventions During the COVID-19 Pandemic With Invasive Pneumococcal Disease, Pneumococcal Carriage, and Respiratory Viral Infections Among Children in France

Alexis Rybak et al.

Summary: This study examined the impact of nonpharmaceutical interventions implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic on the incidence of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in France. The results showed that the decrease in IPD incidence was associated with decreased viral infection cases, rather than changes in pneumococcal carriage rate.

Effect of Amoxicillin Dose and Treatment Duration on the Need for Antibiotic Re-treatment in Children With Community-Acquired Pneumonia The CAP-IT Randomized Clinical Trial

Julia A. Bielicki et al.

Summary: In a clinical trial involving 814 children with community-acquired pneumonia, it was found that lower-dose oral amoxicillin (35-50 mg/kg/day) was noninferior to higher dose (70-90 mg/kg/day), and a 3-day regimen was noninferior to 7 days in terms of the need for antibiotic re-treatment. However, various factors such as disease severity, treatment setting, prior antibiotics received, and acceptability of the noninferiority margin need to be considered when interpreting the findings.

Estimation of the Timing and Intensity of Reemergence of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Following the COVID-19 Pandemic in the US

Zhe Zheng et al.

Summary: This study found that virus introduction from external sources was associated with the spring and summer epidemics in 2021. Pediatric departments should be alert to large RSV outbreaks in the coming seasons, the intensity of which could depend on the size of the spring and summer epidemic in that location. Enhanced surveillance is recommended for both prophylaxis administration and hospital capacity management.

Surveillance of pediatric parapneumonic effusion/empyema in New Zealand

Katherine Rix-Trott et al.

Summary: The study in New Zealand found a high incidence of pediatric complicated parapneumonic effusion/empyema with Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae being the main causative pathogens. Staphylococcus aureus was particularly significant for Maori and Pasifika children in causing severe empyema. Improvements in vaccine coverage and strategies to reduce morbidity from S. aureus disease are needed.
