In Denmark, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 antibodies were assessed in a cross-sectional study among 1033 children visiting pediatric departments and 750 blood donors in June 2020, using a point-of-care test. Antibodies were detected in 17 children (1.6%) and 15 blood donors (2.0%) (P = 0.58). In conclusion, children ... Read more >>

<h4>Purpose</h4>Mercaptopurine (6MP) is essential to cure childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). A liquid 6MP formulation was recently introduced to facilitate oral 6MP administration, especially to children. Its approval and bioequivalence with 6MP tablet were based on comparative pharmacokinetics in 60 healthy adults. Due to potential pharmacokinetic differences between healthy adults ... Read more >>

The standard practice in paediatric departments in Danish hospitals is to prescribe hypotonic maintenance fluids (sodium content 20-40 mmol/l) for children, who are fasting or have a reduced enteral intake. The past decades have provided strong evidence, that this can lead to hypo-natraemia and subsequent neurologic damage or death. We ... Read more >>
