“…Further review may be run to perform a meta-analysis of the estimated burden of AMR infections in pediatrics to confirm the theory in the literature. Sensibilization campaigns for vaccinations need to be promoted accordingly, whenever necessary, but more importantly, taught and prepared well in advance by well-trained local and international professionals to avoid consequential limitations to the programs (1,58,58,(99)(100)(101)(102)(103)(104)(105). Relevant suggestions for managing community immunocompromised patients should be considered and implemented where and when possible (106,107).…”

Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global problem. Resistant bacteria, for many reasons, do not cease to emerge and re-emerge. The impact of AMR on patient therapy is not scares in literature to date, but there is still much to do, mainly in pediatric settings. It is vital to assess the necessity of observing the impact of such infections on the clinical care trends to which some kids may already be subject, strengthening, improving, and, where necessary, implementing new age policies and regulations that may help contain the spread of AMR. Method: We performed a yearlong review of literature on antimicrobial resistance in paediatrics immunosuppressed patients until September 2022. We draw-up a protocol of the review, to which we adhered rigorously, following the prescribed including and excluding criteria. Results: From the 110 articles finally selected following the PRISMA workflow diagram, from which 29% of them were in majority randomized controlled trials studies, the remaining selection ranged from case controls to cohort studies, systematic reviews, controlled before and after reports trials , matched case-control and placebo reports trials and few not clearly reported research article types (15%). Conclusion: The process yielded to the confirmation that there are literally good evidences of the serious lethal impact of resistant microbiological infections among immunocompromised children in and out of hospitals settings. What lacks the most are practical evidences of such damages both to the patient and to the public health sector, which can be conquer though, through well-programmed cohort-based studies.

Bacterial infections are common in the etiology of human diseases owing to the ubiquity of bacteria. Such infections promote the development of periodontal disease, bacterial pneumonia, typhoid, acute gastroenteritis, and diarrhea in susceptible hosts. These diseases may be resolved using antibiotics/antimicrobial therapy in some hosts. However, other hosts may be unable to eliminate the bacteria, allowing them to persist for long durations and significantly increasing the carrier's risk of developing cancer over time. Indeed, infectious pathogens are modifiable cancer risk factors, and through this comprehensive review, we highlight the complex relationship between bacterial infections and the development of several cancer types. For this review, searches were performed on the PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases encompassing the entirety of 2022. Based on our investigation, we found several critical associations, of which some are causative: Porphyromonas gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum are associated with periodontal disease, Salmonella spp., Clostridium perfringens, Escherichia coli, Campylobacter spp., and Shigella are associated with gastroenteritis. Helicobacter pylori infection is implicated in the etiology of gastric cancer, and persistent Chlamydia infections present a risk factor for the development of cervical carcinoma, especially in patients with the human papillomavirus (HPV) coinfection. Salmonella typhi infections are linked with gallbladder cancer, and Chlamydia pneumoniae infection is implicated in lung cancer, etc. This knowledge helps identify the adaptation strategies used by bacteria to evade antibiotic/antimicrobial therapy. The article also sheds light on the role of antibiotics in cancer treatment, the consequences of their use, and strategies for limiting antibiotic resistance. Finally, the dual role of bacteria in cancer development as well as in cancer therapy is briefly discussed, as this is an area that may help to facilitate the development of novel microbe-based therapeutics as a means of securing improved outcomes.

“…An increasing prevalence of respiratory infections among children younger than 5 years threatens the public health status, particularly in developing countries (Taylor et al, ). Therefore, it is critical to identify the risk factors for respiratory infections in the community to develop effective healthcare policies for children in resource‐limited settings (Diaz, Antonara, & Barton, ).…”

Purpose: Upper respiratory tract infections (URIs) are the most common diseases observed in children aged 0-6 years in Turkey. This study was conducted to investigate URIs in 0-6 year-old children in Turkey. Design and Methods: Data of children aged 0-6 years who were included in the 2014 Turkey Health Survey conducted by the Turkish Statistical Institute were collected from their parents.Results: In total, 1,293 and 1,732 children with and without URIs, respectively, were identified. The weighted point prevalence of URIs was 42.23%. Compared with the uninsured and female children belonging to high-income families, insured male children belonging to low-income families were more likely to develop URIs (p < .001). Moreover, comorbidities such as communicable diseases, anemia and diarrhea, and factors like health services utilization were associated with URIs.Analysis of health services utilization highlights that URIs were reported more among the children who had not visited a hospital than among those who had visited a hospital, with an odds ratio of 1.23. Conclusions:The results of this study provide a deeper understanding of sociodemographic, comorbid, and health services utilization factors associated with URIs.These results provide useful insights for pediatric nursing professionals to improve the quality and efficiency of pediatric respiratory nursing services.Practice Implications: Collaborative networks with other health professionals, parents, and public health policy-makers are essential to decrease the prevalence of URIs in Turkey. These study results provide several insights for health professionals to improve pediatric action plans for ultimately improving child health status.

Upper respiratory tract infections (URIs) are the most common diseases among children aged 0-6 years in Turkey. However, there is a lack of knowledge about the factors associated with URIs among children. | WHAT DOES THIS ARTICLE ADD?This study adds value by highlighting the prevalence of URIs that was 42.23% among 0-6 year-old children in Turkey during the year 2014.Moreover, male and insured children belonging to low-income families are more likely to experience URIs and communicable diseases (varicella and mumps), diarrhea, and anemia are the comorbidities strongly associated with URIs.
