In general, cancer in children is uncommon. This means it can be hard for doctors to plan treatments unless they know what has been most effective in other children. That’s why more than 60% of children with cancer are treated as part of a clinical trial. A clinical trial is a research study that tests a new approach to treatment. The “standard of care” is the best treatments known. Clinical trials may test such approaches as a new drug, a new combination of standard treatments, or new doses of current therapies. The health and safety of all children participating in clinical trials are closely monitored. To take advantage of these newer treatments, children with cancer should be treated at a specialized cancer center. Doctors at these canters have extensive experience in treating children with cancer and have access to the latest research. A doctor who specializes in treating children with cancer is called a pediatric hematologist-oncologist. If a pediatric cancer center is not nearby, general cancer canters sometimes have pediatric specialists who are able to be part of the child’s care.

The term STD refers to a sexually transmitted disease. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are another term for STDs. STDs are infections that are transmitted from one person to another by sexual activity, such as anal, vaginal, or oral sex. Bacteria, parasites, and viruses are all responsible for STDs. The organisms that cause sexually transmitted diseases (bacteria, viruses, and parasites) can spread from person to person by blood, sperm, vaginal, and other bodily fluids. These infections can sometimes be passed from mother to kid non-sexually, such as during pregnancy or childbirth, or through blood transfusions or sharing needles.

HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that affects cells in the body that help it fight infections, making a person more susceptible to other infections and diseases. Contact with certain bodily fluids of an HIV-positive individual, most commonly during unprotected intercourse (sex without the use of a condom or HIV treatment to prevent or treat HIV), or sharing injection drug equipment spreads the virus. If HIV is not treated, it can progress to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome).

Immunizations are fundamental components of present-day medicine and are essential for worldwide wellbeing. This schedule of prescribed vaccinations may change depending upon where you live, your child’s wellbeing, the type of vaccine, and the availability of vaccines. The prescribed vaccination plan is intended to ensure new-born and children right on time throughout early in life, when they are most vulnerable and before they are exposed to possibly dangerous life-threatening diseases. Vaccines contain debilitated versions of a virus or versions that resemble virus (called antigens). This implies the antigens can't produce the signs or indications of the disease, yet they do stimulate the immune system to make antibodies. These antibodies help ensure you if you are exposed to the virus in the future. The following are some of the vaccines for children that are used globally.

·         Hepatitis B vaccine (HepB)

Viruses are microscopic germs. They're made up of genetic material encased in a protein coat. Viruses are responsible for common infectious ailments like the common cold, flu, and warts. They also spread diseases like HIV/AIDS, Ebola, and COVID-19. Viruses function similarly to hijackers. They infect healthy cells and use them to proliferate and produce more viruses like themselves. This can cause you to become ill by killing, damaging, or changing your cells. Viruses assault certain cells in your body, including those in your liver, respiratory system, and blood. Virus infections are one of man's most common illnesses. Children are predicted to have two to seven respiratory infections each year, whereas adults have one to three such episodes per year.

Infectious diseases, also known as transmissible or contagious conditions, are diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms like as bacteria, contagions, parasites, or fungi. These diseases can spread, directly or indirectly, from person to person, from animals to humans, or through the environment. The transmission of infectious diseases can occur through various means, including respiratory droplets, direct contact with bodily fluids, contaminated food or water, and vector- borne transmission through organisms like mosquitoes.

Infectious diseases can manifest in a wide range of symptoms, from mild to severe, and can affect various organ systems in the body. Some common examples of infectious diseases include the flu, tuberculosis, HIV/ AIDS, malaria, and COVID- 19.

Pediatric radiology is a subspecialty of indicative radiology concentrated on youngsters, from babies through to youths and youthful grown-ups. Young people have alluded to pediatric radiologists since creating bodies are increasingly defenseless to the unfavorable impacts of radiation than are grown-ups of equal size.

Pediatric radiologists have specific information on the sicknesses and ailments of new-born children, youngsters, and youngsters. They can rapidly and precisely analyse conditions, for example, an infected appendix and pneumonia, the impacts of injury, or if a youngster may have a type of malignant growth.

The utilization of imaging methods with kids can forestall the requirement for exploratory medical procedure.

Pediatric radiology employs a range of techniques such as:

  • X-rays;
  • Ultrasound;
  • CT (computed tomography) scans;
  • MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans;
  • Nuclear Medicine.

Pediatric radiologists are highly trained to understand which tests are most appropriate for the child, and to make sure the testing is safe and carried out properly.

Microorganisms such as viruses or bacteria that are carried in the bloodstream and can cause disease in humans are known as blood borne infections. Malaria, syphilis, and brucellosis are among the many bloods borne diseases, as are Hepatitis B (HBV), Hepatitis C (HCV), and the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). HBV and HIV are blood borne diseases that can be transmitted by coming into touch with infected human blood or other potentially infectious body fluids. These pathogens can spread from one person to another through a variety of means, including blood transfusions, sexual contact, open wounds, mucous membranes, and more. Health-care professionals are at risk of contracting blood-borne infections (HCWs).

Urinary Tract Infections

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are bacterial infections that can occur anywhere in the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. UTIs are common and can affect people of all ages, but they're more prevalent in women.

Sepsis or Septicemia

Sepsis, commonly referred to as septicemia, is a potentially life- threatening medical condition characterized by a systemic inflammatory response to infection. It occurs when the body's response to an infection becomes dysregulated, leading to widespread inflammation that can affect multiple organ systems. Sepsis can arise from infections in various parts of the body, including the lungs, abdomen, urinary tract, or skin.

Epidemiology is derived from the Greek term epi, which means on or upon, demos, which means people, and logos, which means study of. To put it another way, epidemiology is the study of what happens to a group of people. Many definitions have been proposed, but the one below best represents epidemiology's fundamental concepts and public health spirit. Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events in specific populations, as well as the application of this knowledge to the prevention of disease. It is a cornerstone of public health, influencing policy and evidence-based practice by identifying disease risk factors and preventative healthcare priorities. Epidemiologists assist in study planning, data collection, statistical analysis, and interpretation and dissemination. Epidemiology has aided in the development of techniques for clinical research, public health investigations, and, to a lesser extent, basic biological science research.

Coronavirus disease (COVID- 19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS- CoV- 2 virus. Most people infected with the virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. COVID- 19 most often causes respiratory symptoms that can feel much like a cold, the flu, or pneumonia. COVID- 19 may attack more than your lungs and respiratory system. Other parts of your body may also be affected by the disease. Most people with COVID- 19 have mild symptoms, but some people become severely ill.

Bacterial infectious diseases are illnesses caused by bacteria, which are single- celled microorganisms. While many bacteria are harmless or even beneficial, certain strains can cause infections in humans. Septicemia is a serious blood infection. It's when bacteria enter the bloodstream and cause blood poisoning.

Important and serious bacterial infections are

  • Clostridium difficile
  • Cholera
  • Leptospirosis
  • Meningitis
  • MRSA infection
  • Pneumonia
  • Tetanus
  • Tuberculosis

Microbiology

Microbiology is the branch of biology that focuses on the study of microorganisms, which are microscopic, single- celled organisms or entities that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. These microorganisms include bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, and algae. Microbiologists investigate the characteristics, behavior, genetics, and roles of microorganisms in various environments, including their interactions with other organisms. Microbiology has broad applications in medicine, agriculture, environmental science, and biotechnology. Understanding microbiology is crucial for diagnosing and treating infectious diseases, developing vaccines, and exploring microbial contributions to global ecosystems.

Virology

Virology is a specialized branch of microbiology that specifically focuses on the study of viruses. Viruses are unique entities that exist at the boundary between living and non-living things. They consist of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) enclosed in a protein coat called a capsid, and some have an outer envelope. Unlike bacteria or fungi, viruses cannot carry out metabolic processes or reproduce on their own; instead, they rely on host cells to replicate. Virologists investigate the structure, classification, replication mechanisms, and pathogenicity of viruses. The field is essential for understanding viral diseases, developing antiviral therapies, and designing vaccines.

Pediatric nutrition is that the maintenance of a correct well-symmetrical diet consisting of the essential nutrients and therefore the capable caloric intake necessary to market growth and sustain the physiologic requirements at the various stages of a child's development. Infant nutritional needs vary considerably with age, level of recreation, and environmental conditions and that they are directly associated with the speed of growth. During the infant stage the need for calories is greater than any postpartum stage due to rapid increase in both height and weight. In general, the typical child expands 55% of energy on metabolic maintenance, 25% on activity, 12% growth, and eight on excretion.

  • Nutritional requirements
  • Overweight and obesity
  • Malnutrition
  • Eating disorders
  • Food allergies and intolerances

Fungal Infectious Diseases

Fungal infectious diseases, also known as mycoses, are caused by various types of fungi. Fungi are eukaryotic microorganisms that can be either unicellular(yeasts) or multicellular(molds). While many fungi are harmless, some can cause infections in humans.

Most common fungal diseases are

  • Fungal Nail Infections
  • Vaginal Candidiasis
  • Ringworm
  • Candida infections of the mouth, throat, and esophagus

Nosocomial Infections and Control

Nosocomial infections, also called health- care- associated or clinic- acquired infections, are a subset of catching conditions acquired in a health- care establishment. To be considered nosocomial, the infection can't be extant at confession; first, it must evolve at least 48 hours after confession.

Types of nosocomial infections include:

  • Central line-associated bloodstream infections
  • Catheter-associated urinary tract infections
  • Surgical site infections
  • Ventilator-associated pneumonia
  • Bacterial
