Abstract
Adenovirus pneumonia is common in pediatric upper respiratory tract infection, which is comparatively easy to develop into severe cases and has a high mortality rate with many influential sequelae. As for pathogenesis, adenoviruses can directly damage target cells and activate the immune response to varying degrees. Early clinical recognition depends on patients' symptoms and laboratory tests, including those under 2 years old, dyspnea with systemic toxic symptoms, atelectasis or emphysema in CT image, decreased leukocytes, and significantly increased C-reaction protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT), indicating the possibility of severe cases. Until now, there is no specific drug for adenovirus pneumonia, so in clinical practice, current treatment comprises antiviral drugs, respiratory support and bronchoscopy, immunomodulatory therapy, and blood purification. Additionally, post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO), hemophagocytic syndrome, and death should be carefully noted. Independent risk factors associated with the development of PIBO are invasive mechanical ventilation, intravenous steroid use, duration of fever, and male gender. Meanwhile, hypoxemia, hypercapnia, invasive mechanical ventilation, and low serum albumin levels are related to death. Among these, viral load and serological identification are not only "gold standard" for adenovirus pneumonia, but are also related to the severity and prognosis. Here, we discuss the progress of pathogenesis, early recognition, therapy, and risk factors for poor outcomes regarding severe pediatric adenovirus pneumonia.

Risk Factors for the Development of Post-Infectious Bronchiolitis Obliterans in Children: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Pathogens 2022; 11:pathogens11111268. [PMID: 36365019 PMCID: PMC9696236 DOI: 10.3390/pathogens11111268] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2022] [Revised: 10/22/2022] [Accepted: 10/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO), one of the major complications of respiratory tract infection, is commonly underdiagnosed. To identify the risk groups that may develop PIBO and avoid misdiagnoses, we investigated the risk factors associated with the development of PIBO. We searched PubMed, Embase, and MEDLINE databases for studies that included risk factors for the development of PIBO published from inception to 13 June 2022. We limited our search to studies that reported the estimates of odds ratio (OR), hazard ratio (HR), or relative risks for developing PIBO. A fixed-effect and a random-effect model were used. We included seven studies reporting data on the risk factors for PIBO in 344 children with PIBO and 1310 control children. Twenty-two variables, including sex, age, respiratory pathogens, symptoms, laboratory and radiologic findings, and mechanical ventilation, were mentioned in at least one study. The significant risk factors mentioned in two or more studies included elevated lactate dehydrogenase levels, pleural effusion, hypoxemia, sex, and mechanical ventilation. The significance of the duration of hospitalization and fever as risk factors for PIBO differed when the studies were classified according to the statistical method. In addition, the risk factors differed according to respiratory infection pathogens. This meta-analysis identified potential risk factors associated with the development of PIBO. The results of this study highlight the importance of avoiding misdiagnosis and help establish management strategies for patients at a high risk of developing PIBO.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the related risk factors for bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) in children with mycoplasma pneumonia (MP) bronchiolitis. Method The clinical data of 227 children with MP bronchiolitis who were admitted to the II Department of Respiratory of Children's Hospital of Hebei Province from January 2018 to June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the sequelae of BO, they were divided into 32 cases in the BO group and 195 cases in the non-BO group. The univariate analysis was performed on the clinical and laboratory parameters of the two groups, and the multifactor logistic regression was performed further to determine the independent risk factors for the occurrence of BO in MP bronchiolitis, and then, the cut-off value with the maximum diagnostic value of indicators was found through the ROC curve analysis. Results The results of univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors for the occurrence of BO in MP bronchioles were longer duration of moist rales (OR = 1.203, P = 0.003), higher levels of serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (OR = 1.005, P = 0.036), hypoxemia (OR = 7.442, P = 0.035), and pleural effusion (OR = 4.437, P = 0.004). The area under the ROC curve was 78.2%, 72.0%, 68.2%, and 71.0%, respectively (P < 0.001). The cut-off value of duration of moist rales and levels of serum LDH are 7.5 d and 330 U/L, respectively. Conclusion Children with MP bronchiolitis with high serum LDH level (≥330 U/L), combined with hypoxemia, pleural effusion, and lung wet rale duration (≥7.5 d), may be more prone to BO, in which lung wet rale duration prediction value is the largest. Among them, duration of pulmonary moist rales has the highest predictive value.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO) is a long-term sequela after an initial insult to the lower respiratory tract. A comprehensive understanding of the factors that contribute to a high risk of developing PIBO is important to help define therapeutic strategies and improve prognosis. METHODS We performed a systematic review of published literature available in the online databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, Wan Fang, and VIP, with the last search updated on 27 January 2022. Observational studies and case-control studies that provide sufficient data to examine associations between potential risk factors and PIBO were included. Pooled odds ratio (OR) or mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence interval (CI) and heterogeneity were calculated. RESULTS A total of 14 risk factors were selected from 9 studies included in the analysis. The strongest risk factors were hypoxemia, mechanical ventilation, tachypnea, and wheezing. Hypoxemia conferred the greatest risk with pooled OR of 21.54 (95% CI: 10-46.36, p < 0.001). Mechanical ventilation ranked second (pooled OR 14.61, 95% CI: 7.53-28.35, p < 0.001). Use of γ-globulin, use of glucocorticoids, co-infection of bacteria, a history of wheezing, and being male were other prominent risk factors. The effects of premature birth, allergic rhinitis, and imaging finding (pulmonary consolidation, atelectasis, pleural effusion) are less clear and require further confirmation. Cases that developing PIBO had a lower age compared with controls (MD, -8.76 months, 95% CI: -16.50 to -1.02, p = 0.03). No significant differences were observed in the duration of fever (MD, 1.74 days, 95% CI: -0.07 to 3.54, p = 0.06). Children diagnosed with PIBO had higher LDH levels (MD, 264.69 U/L, 95% CI: 67.43 to 461.74, p = 0.008) and duration of hospitalization (MD, 4.50 days, 95% CI: 2.63 to 6.37, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION In this study, we found that the strongest risk factors for PIBO were hypoxemia, mechanical ventilation, tachypnea, and wheezing. Use of glucocorticoids, γ-globulin, co-infection of bacteria, a history of wheezing, and being male may also play a role. The factors discussed above can inform the generation of a clinical prediction model for the developing PIBO in children.

Abstract
Background: Jilin Province, located in northeastern China, recently experienced a human adenovirus (HAdV) epidemic. Few studies involving hospitalized pediatric patients with pneumonia caused by HAdV in our region exist. HAdV pneumonia can lead to severe long-term respiratory sequelae, such as post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO), which has a poor prognosis and greatly influences the quality of life of pediatric patients. However, studies on the risk factors for PIBO are limited. Objective: To describe the HAdV pneumonia prevalence and determine potential risk factors for PIBO development among hospitalized children in Jilin Province, China. Methods: The data of 187 children with HAdV pneumonia (10 months-12 years old) admitted to the First Hospital of Jilin University during an outbreak between October 2018 and January 2020 were retrospectively studied. We analyzed the epidemiological characteristics of HAdV pneumonia, focusing on severe HAdV pneumonia (66 cases). The risk factors for BO development were determined by comparing the demographic and clinical data of the BO and non-BO groups. Results: The largest number of HAdV pneumonia cases occurred in January 2019 (severe n = 18, general n = 21), followed by December 2018 (severe n = 14, general n = 11), June 2019 (general n = 17), July 2019 (general, n = 14), and May 2019 (general, n = 13). In total, 91.98% of the children with HAdV pneumonia were <6 years old (172/187), and 50% of the pediatric patients with severe HAdV pneumonia were <2 years old (33/66). We found that 30.3% of the severe cohort developed BO (20/66), and the strongest independent risk factors for PIBO were persistent wheezing (OR 181.776, 95% CI, 3.385-9,761.543) and acute respiratory failure (OR 51.288, 95% CI, 1.858-1,415.441) during a severe pneumonia episode. Conclusions: The largest number of HAdV pneumonia cases, especially severe cases, occurred in winter in Northeast China, followed by summer. The majority of children admitted with HAdV pneumonia were <6 years old, and half of severe HAdV pneumonia patients were <2 years old. Children who had persistent wheezing or acute respiratory failure during the acute phase of severe HAdV pneumonia were prone to the development of BO.

Abstract
To investigate and analyze the relevant risk factors for bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) in children with severe adenovirus pneumonia, a retrospective study of children with severe adenovirus pneumonia was performed in 34 cases that developing BO and 105 cases not developing BO in Children's hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2015 to February 2019. The multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors which were significantly associated with development of BO after the univariate analysis, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to find out the cut-off value for the significant relevant factors. A nonlinear dose-response relationship between risk factors and the risk of BO was assessed by restricted cubic spline model. Three factors were independently associated with development of BO, which were length of fever (OR 1.129, 95% CI 1.033-1.234), dyspnea (OR 3.922, 95% CI 1.060-14.514) and invasive mechanical ventilation (OR 6.861, 95% CI 1.854-25.387). The cut-off value of length of fever were 10.5 days. A linear dose-response relationship between length of fever and occurrence of BO was observed (P = .57 for nonlinearity). Children with severe adenovirus pneumonia who have a longer duration of fever (especially more than 10.5 days), have dyspnea or require invasive mechanical ventilation in the acute phase are more likely to develop BO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of macrolide-resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) pneumonia has been rapidly increased. MP pneumonia is a risk factor for the development of post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO). The aim of the present study was to identify the risk factors for the development of PIBO after MP pneumonia in the era of increasing macrolide resistance of MP. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study enrolled 150 children with a mean age of 6.0 years admitted to the hospital due to MP pneumonia between May 2019 and February 2020 at a tertiary hospital. The clinical, radiologic, and laboratory data were obtained using retrospective chart review. RESULTS Eighteen children (12%) were diagnosed with PIBO after MP pneumonia. PIBO was diagnosed after a mean duration of 100.0 days (range, 6-268 days) from symptom onset. The respiratory virus co-infection (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 4.069; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.224-13.523), adenovirus co-infection (aOR, 5.607; 95% CI, 1.801-17.454), longer duration between symptom onset and admission (aOR, 1.150; 95% CI, 1.020-1.298), higher levels of serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) at the time of admission (aOR, 1.001; 95% CI, 1.000-1.003), and poor response to stepwise treatment increased the risk for development of PIBO after MP pneumonia. However, macrolide resistance of MP was not associated with development of PIBO after MP pneumonia. CONCLUSION The present study suggests that respiratory virus co-infection, including adenovirus, poor response to the treatment of MP pneumonia, and higher levels of serum LDH, but not macrolide resistance of MP, are risk factors of PIBO after MP pneumonia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the clinical features of children with severe adenovirus pneumonia (SAP) and hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS). METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed from the chart review data of 30 children with SAP and HPS who were admitted from January 2014 to June 2019. According to the prognosis, the children were divided into a good prognosis group (n=18) and a poor prognosis group (n=12). RESULTS Among the 30 children with SAP and HPS, the ratio of male to female was 2:1. The median age of onset was 1 year and 3 months (range 3 months to 5 years), and the mean course of fever was 19±7 d. Of the 30 children, 28 (93%) experienced disease onset in January to June. High-throughput gene detection of serum pathogens showed that 16 (53%) children were positive for human adenovirus type 7 (HAdV-7), and the other 14 (47%) children were positive for HAdV antigen based on immunofluorescence assay for throat swab, with unknown type. Of all 30 children, 29 (97%) had respiratory complications, 24 (80%) had cardiovascular complications, 16 (53%) had gastrointestinal complications, and 9 (30%) had toxic encephalopathy. Eighteen children (60%) improved or recovered and 12 (40%) did not recover (3 died). Compared with the good prognosis group, the poor prognosis group had a significantly longer course from onset to diagnosis of HPS (P<0.05), significantly higher levels of fibrinogen and tumor necrosis factor-α (P<0.05), and a significantly lower level of interferon-γ (P<0.05). The mean follow-up time was 6±2 months; 11 (41%) children recovered, 1 (4%) experienced recurrence of HPS, and 15 (56%) had the sequela of post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO). CONCLUSIONS HPS may be observed in children with SAP, and PIBO is the most common sequela of SAP.

Abstract
Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is a rare, chronic form of obstructive lung disease, often initiated with injury of the bronchiolar epithelium followed by an inflammatory response and progressive fibrosis of small airways resulting in nonuniform luminal obliteration or narrowing. The term BO comprises a group of diseases with different underlying etiologies, courses, and characteristics. Among the better recognized inciting stimuli leading to BO are airway pathogens such as adenovirus and mycoplasma, which, in a small percentage of infected children, will result in progressive fixed airflow obstruction, an entity referred to as postinfectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO). The present knowledge on BO in general is reasonably well developed, in part because of the relatively high incidence in patients who have undergone lung transplantation or bone marrow transplant recipients who have had graft-versus-host disease in the posttransplant period. The cellular and molecular pathways involved in PIBO, while assumed to be similar, have not been adequately elucidated. Since 2016, an international consortium of experts with an interest in PIBO assembles on a regular basis in Geisenheim, Germany, to discuss key areas in PIBO which include diagnostic workup, treatment strategies, and research fields.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pneumonia remains the leading cause of hospitalisations and deaths among children aged <5 years. Diverse respiratory pathogens cause acute respiratory infections, including pneumonia. Here, we analysed viral and bacterial pathogens and risk factors associated with death of hospitalised children. DESIGN A 9-year case series study. SETTING Two secondary-care hospitals, one tertiary-care hospital and one research centre in the Philippines. PARTICIPANTS 5054 children aged <5 years hospitalised with severe pneumonia. METHODS Nasopharyngeal swabs for virus identification, and venous blood samples for bacterial culture were collected. Demographic, clinical data and laboratory findings were collected at admission time. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the factors associated with death. RESULTS Of the enrolled patients, 57% (2876/5054) were males. The case fatality rate was 4.7% (238/5054), showing a decreasing trend during the study period (p<0.001). 55.0% of the patients who died were either moderately or severely underweight. Viruses were detected in 61.0% of the patients, with respiratory syncytial virus (27.0%) and rhinovirus (23.0%) being the most commonly detected viruses. In children aged 2-59 months, the risk factors significantly associated with death included age of 2-5 months, sensorial changes, severe malnutrition, grunting, central cyanosis, decreased breath sounds, tachypnoea, fever (≥38.5°C), saturation of peripheral oxygen <90%, infiltration, consolidation and pleural effusion on chest radiograph.Among the pathogens, adenovirus type 7, seasonal influenza A (H1N1) and positive blood culture for bacteria were significantly associated with death. Similar patterns were observed between the death cases and the aforementioned factors in children aged <2 months. CONCLUSION Malnutrition was the most common factor associated with death and addressing this issue may decrease the case fatality rate. In addition, chest radiographic examination and oxygen saturation measurement should be promoted in all hospitalised patients with pneumonia as well as bacteria detection to identify patients who are at risk of death.

Abstract
Objectives To describe the severity, human adenovirus (HAdV) type and respiratory morbidity following adenovirus pneumonia in children. Methodology Retrospective review of children under 12 years of age, admitted with HAdV pneumonia, between January 2011 and July 2013, in a single centre in Malaysia. HAdV isolated from nasopharyngeal secretions were typed by sequencing hypervariable regions 1–6 of the hexon gene. Patients were reviewed for respiratory complications. Results HAdV was detected in 131 children of whom 92 fulfilled inclusion criteria. Median (range) age was 1.1 (0.1–8.0) years with 80% under 2 years. Twenty percent had severe disease with a case-fatality rate of 5.4%. Duration of admission (p = 0.02) was independently associated with severe illness. Twenty-two percent developed respiratory complications, the commonest being bronchiolitis obliterans (15.2%) and recurrent wheeze (5.4%). The predominant type shifted from HAdV1 and HAdV3 in 2011 to HAdV7 in 2013. The commonest types identified were types 7 (54.4%), 1(17.7%) and 3 (12.6%). Four out of the five patients who died were positive for HAdV7. Infection with type 7 (OR 8.90, 95% CI 1.32, 59.89), family history of asthma (OR 14.80, 95% CI 2.12–103.21) and need for invasive or non-invasive ventilation (OR 151.84, 95% CI 9.93–2.32E) were independent predictors of respiratory complications. Conclusions One in five children admitted with HAdV pneumonia had severe disease and 22% developed respiratory complications. Type 7 was commonly isolated in children with severe disease. Family history of asthma need for invasive or non-invasive ventilation and HAdV 7 were independent predictors of respiratory complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the overall health-related quality of life in patients with bronchiolitis obliterans. METHODS Participants with a diagnosis of post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans, who were being followed-up at two specialized outpatient clinics of Pediatric Pulmonology in Porto Alegre, Brazil, and controls aged between 8 and 17 years, of both genders, were included in the study. Controls were paired by gender, age, and socioeconomic level in relation to the group of participants with post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans. The version of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQ) tool validated for Brazil was applied for the assessment of Health-related Quality of Life, through an interview. The comparison of the Health-related Quality of Life means between the groups was performed using Student's t-test for independent samples and the chi-squared test, for categorical variables. RESULTS 34 patients diagnosed with post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans and 34 controls participated in the study. The mean age of the children included in the study was 11.2±2.5 years, and 49 (72%) of them were males. The groups showed no significant differences in relation to these variables. The quality of life score was significantly and clinically lower in the post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans group when compared with controls in the health (72.36±15.6, 81.06±16.4, p=0.031) and school domains (62.34±20.7, 72.94±21.3, p=0.043), as well as in the total score (69.53±14.9, 78.02±14.8, p=0.024), respectively. CONCLUSION Patients with post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans presented lower health-related quality of life scores when compared with healthy individuals in the total score and in the health and school domains.
