Material and Method: This is a retroprospective descriptive study of patients diagnosed with tuberculosis between 2018 and 2022, in the pediatric infectious diseases department at the Rabat children's hospital. Clinical, paraclinical, therapeutic and evolutionary data were collected on a pre-established information sheet. Results: 13 cases were collected in this study, the patients were all correctly vaccinated with BCG, with notion of tuberculosis contagion in 6 cases which were not screened, the localizations found in this series, pulmonary, peritoneal, spinal, cerebral, meningeal and lymph node, the evolution under treatment started early is favorable. Discussion: Multifocal tuberculosis poses a diagnostic problem given its clinical polymorphism, which causes delay in diagnosis. Several localizations are found, the most frequent being meningoc...

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between obesity and asthma by measuring the prevalence of obesity in asthmatic children compared with a control population, by analysing the impact of obesity on the severity of the asthma, and by examining the relationship between obesity and atopy. The study was based on 100 children aged from 4 to 16 years in whom the diagnosis of asthma was confirmed; obesity being defined as a body mass index greater than the 97th percentile. The prevalence of obesity in these patients was 14%. Obesity was not a factor in the severity of the asthma as 14.5% of the severe asthmatics were obese compared with 18.75% of the mild and moderate asthmatics. 13% of the atopic subjects were obese compared with 13% of the non-atopics. Obesity does not constitute, therefore, ...

A previously healthy 5-year-old boy presented with an atypical pneumonia; he rapidly developed encephalitis revealed by lethargy, generalized status epilepticus. MRI showed abnormal signals in the basal ganglia, typical of bilateral striatal necrosis. Serologic tests for M. pneumoniae were positive, the child recovered almost completely. M. pneumoniae infection should be considered in all cases of acute encephalopathy; yet the pathogenesis of the disorder is unknown and the treatment uncertain.

In 2002 the Paediatric Pulmonology and Allergy Club undertook a retrospective study to establish the current status of fibreoptic bronchoscopy among its members. In 2001 sixty five paediatric pulmonologists carried out an average of 116 examinations (+/- 111) in 35 paediatric centres. FB was performed either in an operating theatre (15 centres), a dedicated bronchoscopy suite (6 centres) or an endoscopy suite shared with gastro-enterologists (7 centres). Other examinations were performed in areas dedicated to, or associated with intensive care. General anaesthesia was routinely used in 18 centres. The others used sedation including an equimolar mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide in 14 centres. Ten centres performed less than 50 examinations, 12 between 51 and 100, 4 between 101 and 200 and 8 centres more than 200 in the year. Seventy two per cent of the children were less than 6 years old...

Data on antibiotic usage for such infections are also scarce. A good understanding of pre-admission and intra-hospital usage of antibiotics in children with respiratory infections linked with an adequate surveillance of the antibiotic susceptibility from circulating pathogens could help policy makers improve their recommendations on management of respiratory infections. We hereby present data on antibiotic usage prior and during admission and antibiotic susceptibility of major circulating respiratory pathogens in children under five years of age admitted to the Hôpital d'Enfants de Rabat, Morocco, with a diagnosis of clinical severe pneumonia (using World Health Organization (WHO) standardized case definitions) during a period of 14 months (November
