Cutaneous Abscesses in Children

In 2000-10 the epidemiology of pediatric MRSA infections in the United States was transformed with an epidemic of CA-MRSA infections. We review the epidemiology of MRSA in the community and in the health care setting, including intensive care units, among infants and CF patients, and in households as well as the impact that the CA-MRSA epidemic has had on hospitalization with MRSA infections. Risk factors for carriage, transmission, and initial and recurrent infection with MRSA are discussed. New studies on the treatment of pediatric MRSA infections and on the efficacy of MRSA decolonization are reviewed.

“…Prolonged skin contact with soiled and wet diapers is associated with urinary tract infections, dermatitis, candidiasis, and bacterial skin and soft-tissue infections such as staphylococcal abscesses as well. [27][28][29][30] The decreased use of diapers earlier may also allow for improved movement of legs with early walking. 31 Confirming these and identifying novel health benefits of AITT require further study.…”

Objective: Previous retrospective studies have examined elimination signals, stool toileting refusal, and completion age in Assisted Infant Toilet Training (AITT). The aim of this longitudinal cohort study was to describe the practice of AITT and caregiver satisfaction in a primarily Western setting during the first year of life. Methods: Families who started AITT before 4 months of age were recruited. Standardized interviews of caregivers were conducted at 1-to 2-month intervals. To identify trends over time, data were fitted to a linear mixed-effect model. Data were analyzed according to five 2-month blocks, starting at 3 to 4 months. Results: Of 85 participating families, 87 children started AITT at a mean age of 2.5 months. At all age intervals, 88% to 94% of caregivers could identify elimination signals. Toileting attempts decreased from 10/ day at 3 to 4 months to 7/day at 11 to 12 months (p < 0.001). Many families (45%-53%) practiced AITT on a part-time basis. Daytime dryness was noted in 12% to 14% of infants throughout the first year. Although more than 63% of families used cloth or disposable diapers throughout this study, use of trainers and underwear increased significantly by 2-to 3-fold (p < 0.01 for both). Caregiver satisfaction was high overall. Although negatively associated with potty refusal, it was positively associated with daytime and nighttime dryness, perceived elimination signals, and a better understanding of their infant's needs (p < 0.001 for all). Conclusion: This study demonstrates that AITT is a worthy viable alternative to the use of diapers even in Western settings. Better understanding of AITT provides a new perspective to properly meet infants' basic needs.

Objective: The aim is to evaluate the complications in patients who are circumcised before school age and investigate the effect of diaper use on complications of circumcision. Method: 1,669 cases between 20 days and 7 years of age who were circumcised under local anaesthesia were investigated retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups. Group 1 consisted of those who used diapers, and group 2 consisted of those who did not use diapers. Those who were operated due to urogenital pathologies and simultaneously circumcised were not included in the groups. The children who normally used diapers continued to be diapered following circumcision. Results: The most common complication following circumcision was bleeding (2.9%). Other complications included infection (2.2%), ecchymosis (2.3%), skin adhesion (1.3%), urinary retention (0.1%), redundant foreskin/circumcision revision (0.1%), and meatal stenosis (0.1%). Bleeding, infection, ecchymosis, skin adhesion, urinary retention, redundant foreskin-circumcision revision and meatal stenosis rates did not vary significantly (p>0.05) between group 1 and group 2. Conclusion: Diaper use was not found to have any effect on complications of circumcision.
