TL;DR: Urinary IL-8, IP-10, and MCP-1 are proinflammatory cytokines that are increased in the neonate during an infectious inflammatory process that may be useful predictors as an adjunct to the current protocols to recognize neonatal sepsis.

TL;DR: One-hundred-ninety-one children with acute leukemia in remission for at least one year were immunized with 1 or more doses of live attenuated varicella vaccine, with the only significant side effect being mild to moderate rash.

TL;DR: It is shown that low doses of bestatin (1 μg/ml) can completely inhibit viral infection resulting either from inoculation with free virus or coculture with infected lymphocytes, and appears to act in the early stages of viral penetration.

TL;DR: Retrospective analysis of longitudinal clinical and immunologic data obtained from 22 children in the early stages of infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) when they developed varicella suggests that children with early HIV infection could be considered for immunization with live attenuated varICElla vaccine, which would be predicted to decrease their morbidity from variceella-zoster virus.

TL;DR: In the United States, obese HEU youth seem to have an increased risk of hypertension, but lower risk of insulin resistance and hypercholesterolemia, compared with a general obese pediatric population.
