Abstract
Achaete-Scute Family basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) Transcription Factor 1 (ASCL1) is a proneural transcription factor involved in neuron development in the central and peripheral nervous system. While initially suspected to contribute to congenital central hypoventilation syndrome-1 (CCHS) with or without Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) in three individuals, its implication was ruled out by the presence, in one of the individuals, of a Paired-like homeobox 2B (PHOX2B) heterozygous polyalanine expansion variant, known to cause CCHS. We report two additional unrelated individuals sharing the same sporadic ASCL1 p.(Glu127Lys) missense variant in the bHLH domain and a common phenotype with short-segment HSCR, signs of dysautonomia, and developmental delay. One has also mild CCHS without polyalanine expansion in PHOX2B, compatible with the diagnosis of Haddad syndrome. Furthermore, missense variants with homologous position in the same bHLH domain in other genes are known to cause human diseases. The description of additional individuals carrying the same variant and similar phenotype, as well as targeted functional studies, would be interesting to further evaluate the role of ASCL1 in neurocristopathies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Interstitial lung disease in children (chILD) is a highly heterogeneous group of rare and severe respiratory disorders. The disease by itself, the burden of the treatments (oxygen therapy, corticosteroid pulses, nutritional support) and recurrent hospitalizations may impair the quality of life (QoL) of these children. The aim of the study was to compare the health-related QoL (HR-QoL) in chILD compared to a healthy population and to find out the predictive factors of an altered QoL. METHODS Patients aged 1 month to 18 years with ILD of known or unknown etiology were prospectively included. Parents and children over 8 years old were asked to fill the PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core Scale ranging from 0 to 100 points. RESULTS A total of 78 children were recruited in 13 French pediatric centers. Total scores were 11.94 points (P = 0.0003) less for child self-report and 14.08 points ( P < 0.0001) less for parent proxy-report with respect to the healthy population. The clinical factors associated with a lower total score were: extrapulmonary expression of the disease, higher Fan severity score, long-term oxygen therapy, nutritional support, and a number of oral treatments. CONCLUSION Using a validated quality of life (QoL) scale, we showed that health-related-QoL is significantly impaired in chILD compared with a healthy population. Factors altering QoL score are easy to recognize and could help identify children at a heightened risk of low QoL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcoidosis is a rare lung disease in children. The aim of the present study was to provide update information on disease presentation and progression, patient management and prognosis factors in a cohort of children with lung sarcoidosis. METHODS With the network of the French Reference Centre for Rare Lung Diseases (RespiRare), we collected information on a large cohort of paediatric thoracic sarcoidosis to provide information on disease presentation, management and outcome. RESULTS Forty-one patients were included with a median age at diagnosis of 11.8 years (1.1-15.8), mostly from Afro-Caribbean and Sub-Saharan origin. At diagnosis, 85% presented with a multi-organic disease, and no major differences were found regarding disease severity between the patients diagnosed before or after 10 years old. Corticosteroids were the most used treatment, with more intravenous pulses in the youngest patients. The 18-month outcome showed that patients diagnosed before 10 years old were more likely to recover (50% vs 29%), and presented fewer relapses (29% vs 58%). At 4-5 years of follow-up, relapses were mostly observed for patients diagnosed after 10 years old. DISCUSSION In the included children, mostly of Afro-Caribbean and Sub-Saharan origin, sarcoidosis seems severe, with multi-organic involvement and foreground general symptoms. Common prognosis factors are not suitable in paediatric patients, and a young age at diagnosis does not seem to be associated with a poorer prognosis. The study is ongoing to provide further information on the very-long-term follow-up of paediatric sarcoidosis.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Maldigestion in cystic fibrosis (CF) affects approximately 90% of patients. As soon as pancreatic insufficiency is identified, enzyme supplementation is prescribed even with breast fed infants. A pancreatic enzyme preparation developed particularly for infants, Creon for children (CfC), contains smaller granules to be administered with a dosing spoon (5000 lipase units per scoop). PATIENTS AND METHODS In a prospective, randomised, multi-centre study, 40 infants and toddlers received both CfC and Creon 10000 (C10) for two weeks each in a cross-over design. Dosing of pancreatic enzymes was continued as applied before the study. The primary endpoint was the parents' treatment preference. Secondary endpoints included coefficient of fat absorption (CFA), clinical symptoms and safety parameters. RESULTS 20 parents (51%) from the N=39 intent to treat sample preferred CfC, 9 (23%) preferred C10, and 10 (26%) had no preference The applied doses led to a mean CFA with similar results for both treatments (77.8% vs. 78.7%). Gastrointestinal symptoms were reported on a number of study days, and some children had abnormal results for laboratory parameters of malabsorption. Safety and tolerability of the preparations were good and all these parameters were comparable for both treatments. CONCLUSION Those parents who had a preference favoured CfC over C10. Both enzyme preparations improved malabsorption to a similar degree, although the applied dosages could have been too low in some children reflected in a suboptimal CFA. These data support the use of CfC for young patients with cystic fibrosis improving the daily care of this cohort detected mainly now through neonatal screening programmes.

Abstract
Multidrug-resistant Achromobacter xylosoxidans was recovered from the sputum of a patient with cystic fibrosis. The VEB-1 extended-spectrum β-lactamase was detected on a class 1 integron. This first report of a VEB-1–producing isolate in this population requires further investigation to determine its distribution.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Fibreoptic bronchoscopy (FB) is an important diagnostic examination in paediatric pulmonology. In 2002 the Paediatric Pulmonology and Allergy Club undertook a retrospective study to establish the current status of fibreoptic bronchoscopy among its members. METHODS 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. The washing and disinfection procedures were manual in 20 centres and automatic in 15. RESULTS Three principal indications were reported: persistent wheezing, suspicion of a foreign body and ventilatory difficulties. Cough, desaturation and fever were the most frequently reported side effects. CONCLUSIONS This is the first survey in paediatric pulmonology in France. It shows a wide variation in the practice of fibreoptic bronchoscopy in children.
