Filter by:The aim of the study is to assess the influence of adjuvant corticosteroid treatment in acute mastoiditis in children. we expect a better outcome in children treated with both corticosteroids and antibiotics including lower rates in complications and earlier decline in fever and inflammatory markers.
The aim of this study is to report the clinical presentation, Microbiological, laboratory and imaging evaluation, prothrombotic factors analysis, medical and surgical management and outcomes in children with Otogenic Cerebral Sinus Vein Thrombosis (CSVT).
Prevnar (7 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine [7vPnC]) has been shown to be effective against ear infections in children. Prevnar 13 is a new vaccine that is similar to Prevnar. It is expected that the effectiveness of Prevnar 13 against ear infections in children will be similar to that observed following Prevnar. Pfizer has committed to conduct a postmarketing study of the impact of Prevnar 13 in reducing ear infections among children.
The purposes of this study are: 1. To determine whether procalcitonin level at admission of pediatric patients with bacterial infections can be used as a marker for prediction of defervescence and hospitalization length 2. To examine the kinetics of procalcitonin in pediatric patients with bacterial infections and persistent fever
Following acute mastoiditis there is a possible risk to develop hearing loss. The cause could be either possible involvement of the inner ear, or in cases that underwent surgery, secondary to the effect of the drill's noise. Extended hearing test will be performed for 25 children that suffered acute mastoiditis that resolved with conservative treatment and compared with 25 children that needed surgical intervention.
