Seasonal trends in hospitalization for childhood bone and joint infection (BJI) are reported inconsistently. True seasonal variation would suggest an element of disease risk from environmental factors...
A systematic review of the literature was undertaken from January 1, 1980, to August 1, 2024. Data were extracted on the hospitalization rate by season and/or month. Pathogen-specific studies for BJI ...
Twenty studies met inclusion criteria encompassing 35,279 cases of childhood BJI. Most studies reported seasonal variation (n = 15, 75%). Eight studies specifically considered disease secondary to K. ...
For childhood BJI caused by K. kingae, there appears to be a higher risk of hospitalization in autumn and/or winter months. This may relate to the seasonal circulation of respiratory viruses. There is...

Kingella kingae is a leading cause of bone and joint infections and other invasive diseases in young children. A key K. kingae virulence determinant is a secreted exopolysaccharide that mediates resis...
Kingella kingae is an emerging pathogen that has recently been identified as a leading cause of osteoarticular infections in young children. Colonization with K. kingae is common, with approximately 1...
Septic arthritis of the knee is presumed to be the most frequent form of Kingella kingae -induced osteoarticular infection. This study aimed to report on the clinical course, biological parameters, an...
The medical charts of 51 children below 4 years old with confirmed or highly probable K. kingae -induced arthritis of the knee were reviewed. Data were gathered on the five variables in the commonly-u...
Patients with K. kingae -induced arthritis of the knee usually presented with a mildly abnormal clinical picture and normal or near-normal serum levels of acute-phase reactants. Data on all five varia...
Because the clinical features of K. kingae -induced arthritis of the knee overlap with many other conditions affecting this joint, the Kocher-Caird prediction algorithm is not sensitive enough to effe...
Leptospirosis is a re-emerging zoonosis that is under-reported in tropical countries, and canines can be a potential reservoir of the disease. The objective of this study was to diagnose...
A sample of 200 animals, including dogs and cats from the animal protection programs of Bogota, Colombia, were used in this study. Blood was collected from these animals for serum and DNA analysis. Co...
The overall PCR positivity of stray dogs and cats was 56%, 52.9%, and 65.3% in dogs and cats, respectively. The MAT seropositivity was 77.3%, and only dogs showed titers higher than 1:400....
These results showed that stray dogs and cats were previously exposed to different serovars of...
The aim was to investigate methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) incidence, conversion and outcomes in diabetic foot infections (DFIs). This is a pooled patient-level analysis of combined...
Atherosclerosis is a major instigator of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and a main cause of global morbidity and mortality. The high prevalence of CVD calls for urgent attention to possible preventive m...
