Endothelial Colony Forming Cells and Mesenchymal Stem Cells are Enriched at Different Gestational Ages in Human Umbilical Cord Blood.
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are used for angiogenic therapies and as biomarkers of cardiovascular disease. Human umbilical cord blood (UCB) is a rich source of endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs), which are EPCs with […]
Torquetenovirus Infection and Ciliary Dysmotility in Children With Recurrent Pneumonia.
BACKGROUND:: The aim of the study was to assess Torquetenovirus (TTV) loads within respiratory ciliated cells and to verify the existence of a correlation between TTV loads and functional or structural ciliary abnormalities, in a group of children with recurrent or persistent pneumonia. […]
Age-Specific Prevalence of Dengue Antibodies in Bangkok Infants and Children.
Seroprevalence of dengue antibodies were determined in healthy children in Bangkok. At 9, 12, and 18 months of age 23%, 9%, and 17% of children respectively had neutralizing antibodies against one or more serotypes. DEN1 was the most prevalent, followed by DEN3, DEN2, […]
Clinical and Laboratory Aspects of Moraxella catarrhalis Bacteremia in Children.
Moraxella catarrhalis is an uncommon cause of bacteremia in children. We present 17 children with M. catarrhalis bacteremia. Most patients were <2 years old (76.4%), immunocompetent (82.3%), and had concomitant lower respiratory symptoms (76.5%). Moraxella catarrhalis bacteremia occurs in young immunocompetent children and […]
Clinical and Laboratory Features of Neonatal Herpes Simplex Virus Infection: A Case-Control Study.
BACKGROUND:: Neonatal herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection can cause significant morbidity and mortality but can be difficult to identify, particularly in neonates without vesicular rash. OBJECTIVE:: To determine the unique clinical and laboratory features of neonates with and without HSV […]
Association Between Herpes Simplex Virus-1 Infection and Idiopathic Unilateral Facial Paralysis in Children and Adolescents.
We studied the association between herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) infection and Bell palsy in children. Thirty-three of 42 affected patients had a positive HSV-1 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay compared with 16 of 41 controls (P = 0.0003). Ten of 47 affected […]
Congenital Mycoplasma pneumoniae Pneumonia in a Neonate.
A fatal case of vertical transmission of Mycoplasma pneumoniae manifesting as congenital pneumonia in a neonate is presented. The diagnosis was based on the detection of DNA by polymerase chain reaction on the neonatal nasopharyngeal aspirates and placenta and rising titers of maternal anti Mycoplasma antibodies by complement […]

Cost-effectiveness of Quantitative Fecal Lactoferrin Assay for Diagnosis of Symptomatic Patients With Ileal Pouch-anal Anastomosis.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: To assess cost-effectiveness of fecal lactoferrin (FL) as the initial diagnostic approach to symptomatic patients with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA). METHODS: Four competing strategies [empiric metronidazole therapy (txMTZ), initial pouch endoscopy with biopsy (testBiop), initial […]
