“… 1 , 2 Most nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) were canceled in 2022, except for indoor mask-wearing. 3 After three years of anti-epidemic efforts, COVID-19 public health control measures were downgraded in China in January 2023, and the epidemic situation reached a low level. 4 However, studies have speculated that the number of individuals susceptible to influenza infection increased after the easing of NPIs, which could lead to a large epidemic in many countries, including China.…”

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emergence in late 2019, and wide spread quickly in the world. In China, the COVID-19 epidemic situation entered a low level now. With the arrival of flu season, the number of patients with respiratory symptoms is increasing. We reported three cases of patients who co-infected with SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A virus (IAV), and they were all treated with nirmatrelvir-ritonavir (NMV/r) and baloxavir marboxil. Due to the overlapping clinical features between the two diseases, it is important to identified them and gave the antiviral therapy timely.

Background/Objectives: With the advent of the field of pediatric emergency medicine, studies on the differences in treatment patterns between pediatricians and emergency medicine (EM) physicians in various pediatric conditions have been accumulating. This study aimed to compare croup (acute laryngotracheobronchitis) management patterns between pediatricians and EM physicians to enhance pediatric emergency care and inform the training of future specialists. Methods: A retrospective review of medical records was conducted for 1676 previously healthy children diagnosed with croup who visited a single pediatric emergency department (PED) of a tertiary university-affiliated hospital in South Korea, from March 2019 to February 2023. Patient characteristics, management patterns, and the impact of physician specialty on emergency care were analyzed. Results: EM physicians used injected dexamethasone monotherapy in 30.54% of the cases, more frequently than the 3.57% among pediatricians. In contrast, pediatricians used a combination of nebulized epinephrine and dexamethasone in 88.29% of the cases, compared with 67.71% for EM physicians. The appropriate use of nebulized epinephrine based on the Westley Croup Score was significantly higher in the EM physician group (77.64% vs. 57.89%, p < 0.001). Pediatricians also prescribed oral antibiotics and corticosteroids more frequently (25.13% vs. 3.13% and 81.54% vs. 22.69%, respectively; p < 0.001 for both). Despite these differences, there were no significant disparities in PED length of stay or 48 h revisit rates. Conclusions: EM physicians adhered more closely to currently accepted management algorithms for croup management. These findings underscore the need for standardized, evidence-based pediatric emergency care and provide valuable insights for training programs in this field.
