Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of children with Chikungunya fever.Methods:This retrospective cohort study analyzed clinical data of 91 children with Chikungunya fever at the Department of Pediatrics, Foshan women and Children Hospital between July 2025 and August 2025. The patients were divided into four groups based on onset-age: 0-<1 year, 1-<3 years, 3-<6 years, and 6-14 years. One-way ANOVA and chi-square tests were used to compare the clinical features of children with Chikungunya fever at different ages.Results:Among the 91 children with chikungunya fever, 55 were male and 36 were female, with an onset age of 6 (2, 11) years, age groups comprised 0-<1 year (10 cases), 1-<3 years (13 cases), 3-<6 years (17 cases) and 6-14 years (51 cases). Fever occurred in 87 cases (96%), with 50 cases (57%) had high fever. Skin rash was observed in 89 cases (98%), and 60 cases (67%) had a generalized rash. Joint pain was reported in 57 cases (63%), among which 35 cases (61%) had pain in two or more locations, with the knee involved in 21 cases (37%), the ankle in 15 cases (26%), and the wrist in 6 cases (11%).The knee was the most commonly affected joint 21 cases (37%), followed by the ankle 15 cases (26%) and wrist 6 cases (10%). Joint ultrasound was performed in 31 cases (34%), all showed joint effusion, including 8 cases (26%) without complaints of joint pain. The incidence of high fever was significantly lower in the 3-<6 years and 6-14 years groups compared to the 0-<1 year group (both P<0.05). The 6-14 years group also had a lower incidence of high fever than the 1-<3 years group ( P<0.05). The 1-<3 years group had longer duration of fever than the 3-<6 years and 6-14 years groups (both P<0.05). The incidence of joint pain was higher in the 3-<6 years and 6-14 years groups compared to the 1-<3 years group (both P<0.05), and higher in the 6-14 years group than in the 3-<6 years group ( P=0.007). Among all 91 children, 22 cases (24%) had abnormal liver function, 49 cases (54%) showed elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and 2 cases (2%) had elevated creatine kinase. The proportions of elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and LDH were higher in the 0-<1 year and 1-<3 years groups compared to the 3-<6 years and 6-14 years groups (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The clinical characteristics of children with Chikungunya fever vary among children of different ages. Children in the 0-<3 years are more prone to high fever with longer duration and generalized maculopapular rash, while the children in the 6-14 years have have a higher proportion of joint pain, and joint ultrasound revealed effusion in all examined children. AST and LDH levels are elevated in the 0-<3 years groups.

Objective:To retrieve and evaluate the best evidence on the nutrition management of patients with cancer-related sarcopenia at domestic and abroad, and summarize it, so as to provide a basis for medical staff to carry out relevant practices.Methods:Systematically search Chinese and English databases, guidelines, and academic websites such as China national knowledge infrastructure, Wanfang Database, PubMed, Web of Science, with evidence retrieval up to April 30, 2024. The evidence was summarized by 2 researchers.Results:A total of 13 articles were included: 3 guides, 5 expert consensus, 3 systematic evaluations, 2 evidence summaries. 21 pieces of evidence were summarized in 7 categories: establish diagnosis of sarcopenia, multidisciplinary team, nutrition support methods, nutrient selection, dynamic monitoring, related symptom management and outpatient nutrition management.Conclusions:The best evidence for nutritional management of patients with cancer related sarcopenia is rigorous and scientific. Medical staff can carefully select the best evidence based on specific clinical scenarios to formulate relevant management strategies, improve the nutritional status of patients.
