Abstract: PURPOSE OF REVIEW Immunocompromised children are a largely under-vaccinated population and are vulnerable to acquiring vaccine-preventable infections (VPIs). A variety of factors contribute to poor vaccine coverage including: severity of underlying illness, sporadic contact with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jpc.13809
Abstract: Fever in immunocompromised children presents significant challenges. We aimed to determine the clinical impact of fluorodeoxyglucose‐positron emission tomography (FDG‐PET) in combination with computed tomography (CT) in children with malignancy or following haematopoietic stem cell transplantation… read more here.
