Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is caused by the expansion of CD1a+/CD207+ cells and is characterised by a wide spectrum of organ involvement and dysfunction, affecting all ages. While almost all organs and systems can be affected, only the involvement and dysfunction of liver, spleen, and haematopoietic system influence survival. The LCH pathogenic cells are defined by universal activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling pathway. The most common alteration is a somatic BRAFV600E mutation, which is present in approximately two-thirds of the cases, followed by MAP2K1 mutations. Treatment of LCH is risk-adapted; patients with single lesions may respond well to local treatment, whereas patients with multi-system disease require systemic chemotherapy. While survival for patients without organ dysfunction is excellent, mortality rates for patients with organ dysfunction may reach 20%. Despite progress made in the treatment of LCH, disease reactivation rates remain above 30%, and standard second-line treatment has yet to be established. Long-term effects, including neuroendocrine dysfunction and neurodegeneration, represent a major challenge for survivors. Treatment with BRAF or MEK inhibitors results in immediate responses, but reactivations are very common after discontinuation. Their role as single agents and in combination with chemotherapy is being explored.

Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) represents a life-threatening hyperinflammatory syndrome. Familial studies have established autosomal and X-linked recessive causes of HLH, highlighting a pivotal role for lymphocyte cytotoxicity in the control of certain virus infections and immunoregulation. Recently, a more complex etiological framework has emerged, linking HLH predisposition to variants in genes required for metabolism or immunity to intracellular pathogens. We review genetic predisposition to HLH and discuss how molecular insights have provided fundamental knowledge of the immune system as well as detailed pathophysiological understanding of hyperinflammatory diseases, highlighting new treatment strategies.

Congenital neutropenia with autosomal recessive inheritance was first described by the Swedish paediatrician Rolf Kostmann who coined the term ‘infantile genetic agranulocytosis’. The condition is now commonly referred to as Kostmann disease. These patients display a maturation arrest of the myelopoiesis in the bone marrow and reduced neutrophil numbers and suffer from recurrent, often life-threatening infections. The molecular mechanism underlying congenital neutropenia has been intensively investigated, and mutations in genes that impinge on programmed cell death have been identified. The present review provides an overview of these studies.

Children with epilepsy have at least one comorbidity in 80% of cases. This unstructured review provides insights into the most common comorbidities, their effects on seizure prognosis and treatment. We also review the epilepsy terminology and classifications. Neurodevelopmental and psychiatric comorbidities were common in children with seizures and had a negative effect on quality of life, and seizure freedom. Children with seizures were treated with drugs used for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression or psychosis, more often than the general population but less often than prevalence rates would suggested.

With an increasing awareness of the importance of nurturing care and within a framework of Infant- and Family-Centred Developmental Care (IFCDC), zero separation, keeping parent and infant in continuous close physical and psychological proximity to each other, is key. In modern neonatology, high technological and pharmaceutical treatments are consistently integrated with caregiving considerations. Mother-Newborn Couplet Care is a concept of care where the dyad of the ill or prematurely born infant and the mother, needing medical care of her own, are cared for together, from the birth of the baby to its discharge. Mother-Newborn Couplet Care requires systems changes in both obstetrics and paediatrics considering planning and organisation of care, equipment and design of units. Accordingly, strong leadership setting clear goals and changing the professional mindset by providing targeted education and training is crucial to ensure the warranted high quality of care of all mother-baby dyads.

The human microbiome is crucial for regulating normal development, but the exact point when it is established remains unknown. A sterile placenta was traditionally considered a prerequisite for a healthy pregnancy, but studies have revealed that the placenta harbours microbial communities, even under normal conditions. However, reports have failed to provide evidence for the consistent presence of bacteria in the normal human placenta, challenging the in utero colonisation hypothesis. This mini review examines our understanding of the potential placental microbial colonisation in normal healthy pregnancies. This may impact the metabolic and immune functions of the growing foetus and have long-term consequences.

Attendances to emergency departments (EDs) in the UK are increasing, particularly for younger children. Community services are under increasing pressure and parents may preferentially bring their babies to the ED, even for non-urgent problems. This study aimed to characterise the presenting features, management and disposition of neonatal attendances to a children's ED (CED).

Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices generate loud noise, which might harm auditory function and maturation. The function of auditory pathways can be examined by using brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) and brainstem audiometry (BA) recordings. Our objective was to study whether CPAP treatment during the neonatal period is associated with abnormalities in BAEP and BA recordings.

Extremely low birthweight (ELBW) neonates require a high protein intake, but this can be challenging in the very rare cases when they also have phenylketonuria (PKU). This is due to a lack of suitable parenteral nutrition or enteral formula. Our aim was to analyse tolerance to phenylalanine in these infants.

While infants with early-onset sepsis require antibiotics, there is little evidence to support their routine use in asymptomatic infants exposed to maternal chorioamnionitis. We aimed to ascertain the incidence of culture-proven sepsis in full-term infants exposed to chorioamnionitis and to determine whether asymptomatic infants need routine antibiotic treatment.

Preterm infants are particularly susceptible to bacterial late-onset sepsis (LOS). Diagnosis by blood culture and inflammatory markers have sub-optimal sensitivity and specificity and prolonged reporting times. There is an urgent need for more rapid, accurate adjunctive diagnostics in LOS to improve management and minimise antibiotic exposure. We measured the diagnostic performance of secretory phospholipase A2 type IIA (sPLA2-IIA) in very preterm infants (<30 weeks gestational age) with suspected LOS. Plasma sPLA2-IIA levels were elevated in infants with LOS (n = 28) compared to those without LOS (n = 21; median 30,970 vs. 2534 pg/ml, p < 0.0001). The mean area under the curve was 0.884 (95% CI: 0.771, 0.977) with a sensitivity of 0.907 (95% CI: 0.667, 1.00) and specificity of 0.804 (95% CI: 0.600, 1.00). The positive and negative predictive values were 0.833 (95% CI: 0.664, 0.927) and 0.842 (95% CI: 0.624, 0.945), respectively. This pilot study suggests that sPLA2-IIA may have clinical utility for the early diagnosis of LOS in very preterm infants, potentially informing clinical management and antibiotic stewardship.
