Abstract
In 538 febrile episodes in 188 children enrolled prospectively, 62% of children were neutropenic and 86% had infection-related fever. Respiratory infection was the commonest febrile cause (60%). Bacteremia occurred more often in neutropenic than non-neutropenic episodes (20% vs. 3%) and was accompan...

Abstract
Upper respiratory tract infections are frequent in athletes. Mainly of viral origin, they are treated symptomatically. Infectious mononucleosis is associated with an estimated 2% per hundred risk of splenic rupture, which occurs between day four and twenty one of the illness. Therefore return to pla...

Abstract
A defective mucociliary clearance facilitates colonization with bacteria and fungal spores in cystic fibrosis patients. Yeasts and molds are cultured from the cystic fibrosis respiratory tract and often their clinical relevance is unknown. Candida spp. are the most commonly isolated yeasts, whereas...

Abstract
Children with URI had a lower overall perioperative complication rate if they received a lidocaine gel (35%) rather than placebo (94%) (P < 0.01). Also, the incidence of postoperative coughing was less (12% vs 53%; P = 0.03). In non-URI patients, lidocaine did not significantly reduce the rate of ai...
