Recurrent diffuse alveolar hemorrhage and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation utilization in a hematopoietic stem cell transplant patient with Hunters syndrome
We describe the natural history of a three-month-old patient with Hunter Syndrome with hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) who developed recurrent diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The patient underwent HSCT with several complications, including veno-occlusive disease and DAH.
HLA-B*07:02 and HLA-C*07:02 are associated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole respiratory failure
We have identified an underrecognized severe adverse drug reaction (ADR) of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) associated respiratory failure in previously healthy children and young adults.
Simulation-Based System Analysis: Testing Preparedness for Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Cannulation in Pediatric COVID-19 Patients
Coronavirus Disease-2019 presents risk to both patients and medical teams. Staff-intensive, complex procedures such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) may increase chances of exposure and spread.
Gender Equity and Diversity in Pediatric Critical Care Medicine: We Must Do Better
The COVID-19 pandemic is amplifying historic inequities worldwide. These inequities include not only gender disparities, but also systemic racism and an overall lack of diversity and representation in all areas of professional life.
Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole-associated Fulminant Respiratory Failure in Children and Young Adults
Here we describe 14 previously healthy children and young adults exposed to TMP-SMX before the development of fulminant respiratory failure, potentially reflecting a previously unappreciated, life-threatening ADR to TMP-SMX.
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation as a Bridge to Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell Therapy for Severe Refractory Sepsis in the Setting of Relapsed Refractory Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Pediatric oncology patients with sepsis are at higher risk of morbidity and mortality compared with pediatric patients without malignancy.
Severe Acute Respiratory Failure in Healthy Adolescents Exposed to Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole
Pulmonary toxicity induced by trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) has been described, although the disease process is poorly understood.
