Children unbuckling from their own carseats or restraints is a yet unexplored phenomenon that could pose a substantial safety risk. Therefore, we sought to better understand this phenomenon by surveying parents of young children.

Bartonella henselae is a Gram-negative bacterium and the causative agent of Cat Scratch Disease (CSD). Atypical presentations of B. henselae that involve musculoskeletal, hepatosplenic, or neurologic systems are rare. In this case report, we describe a case of B. henselae osteomyelitis involving the thoracic spine at the level of T2, complicated by both hepatic and splenic granulomas in a 5-year-old generally healthy male patient. Although B. henselae is a rare cause of osteomyelitis, it should be considered in patients with a possible cat exposure, who present with fever, pain, and lymphadenopathy.

INTRODUCTION The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is caused by the third known zoonotic coronavirus. It is a disease that does not spare any age group. The scientific community has been inundated with information since January 2020. This review aims to summarise pertinent information relating to COVID-19 in children. METHOD Literature search was conducted in 2020 on the PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase databases, with the keywords "COVID 19" and "children". A bibliographic search of articles included was also undertaken. The abstracts were scanned to assess their appropriateness to be included in this narrative review. The data was updated on 11th April 2020. RESULT The aetiology, transmission, incubation, pathophysiology, clinical features and complications, and management are discussed in this study. CONCLUSION Our understanding of COVID-19 is evolving as more reports are being published. The growth of SARS-CoV2 is limited in children and they are often asymptomatic. The disease course is also milder. Continued research to understand its effect in children is important to help us manage the disease in these vulnerable populations in a timely fashion.

We have evolved into an automated high tech practice of medicine. With speed and automated precision we have sacrificed diagnostic information. The automated differential reports out groups of white blood cell types. With a manual differential, those groups are more specifically differentiated including immature neutrophils (bands) and atypical lymphocytes which are not routinely reported with an automated differential. When an automated differential is done, there may be certain triggers that would necessitate a manual differential be done.

A thirteen year-old boy presented with a grade IV blunt pancreatic traumatism with a cephaloisthmic disjunction. A giant pancreatic pseudocyst was developed and complicated with a massive intracystic bleeding. An evacuation and drainage of all collections was performed by laparotomy. Intracystic bleeding is rare but potentially letal, CT/MRI and selective angiography lead to a better management. Surgical treatment may be confined to recurrent, multiple or > 200 mm pseudocysts.
