Comparing procalcitonin and C-reactive protein levels in very low birth weight infants with sepsis
Abstract While C-reactive protein (CRP) is a commonly used sepsis biomarker in neonates, studies in older patients propose procalcitonin (PCT) as potentially superior due to earlier rise in response to bacterial infection and shorter half-life. We conducted a prospective cohort study of VLBW infants undergoing sepsis evaluations at a level IV neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and combined the analysis with a retrospective data review from a different level III NICU.
Cluster of PeV Central Nervous System Infections in Infants
During April 12–May 24, 2022, 23 previously healthy infants aged 5 days–3 months were admitted to a Tennessee children's hospital for human parechovirus (PeV) meningoencephalitis.* PeV is a nonenveloped RNA virus of the Picornaviridae family.

MIS-C is a rare but dangerous illness striking children weeks after they get COVID-19 - here’s what we know about it
Credit: CC0 Public Domain While most children who get COVID-19 develop little more than a mild illness, several hundred have ended up in hospital intensive care units with alarming symptoms that begin appearing weeks after the initial infection. This new condition progresses rapidly and can strike multiple organs and systems, including the heart, lungs, eyes, skin and gastrointestinal system. It’s known as multi-system inflammatory syndrome in children, or MIS-C.
