Objective:To study the correlation between transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) level measured from shielded skin and total serum bilirubin (TSB) level after phototherapy in premature infants.Methods:From July 2019 to July 2021,preterm infants with jaundice admitted to the Department of Neonatology of our hospital and received phototherapy were prospectively enrolled in the study. The infants were assigned into 26~31w group, 32~34w group and 35~36w group according to their gestational ages. During phototherapy, the forehead, the chest and the perineum were shielded. TcBs were measured at the above mentioned areas three times each before and after phototherapy and TSB was measured from venous blood samples.Results:A total of 306 premature infants were included, with 51 cases in 26~31w group, 126 cases in 32~34w group and 129 cases in 35~36w group. Before phototherapy, TcBs of the forehead, the chest and the perineum of all infants were correlated with TSB ( r=0.699, 0.913, 0.734, P<0.001) with TcB of the chest showed the best correlation. A linear regression equation was established using the TSB before phototherapy and the TcB of the chest: TSB=0.634+0.912TcB. After phototherapy, TcBs of the forehead, the chest and the perineum of all infants were also correlated with TSB ( r=0.586, 0.879, 0.690, P<0.001) with TcB of the chest showed the best correlation and the linear regression equation was TSB=1.910+0.736TcB. Conclusions:For preterm infants with gestational age of 26~36w, TcB of the shielded chest skin after phototherapy is correlated with TSB and a linear regression model can be established.

Objective:To understand the clinical features of vancomycin-associated drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS) in children.Methods:Case reports on vancomycin-associated DIHS in children were collected by searching the relevant databases home and abroad up to May 31, 2020. Patients′ relevant information (sex, age, primary disease, time from medication to onset of DIHS, main symptoms, organs and systems involved, hematological changes, RegiSCAR score, treatment and outcome) was extracted and descriptively analyzed.Results:A total of 12 children with DIHS caused by vancomycin were enrolled in the study, including 10 males and 2 females. Their ages ranged from 22 months to 17 years, with a median age of 14 years. The median time from vancomycin exposure to occurrence of DIHS was 17 days, ranging from 5 to 35 days. The main clinical features were fever (12 patients, 100.0%), rash (12 patients, 100.0%), lymphadenopathy (8 patients, 66.7%), and mucosal injury (5 patients, 41.7%). Among the 12 children, 9 (75.0%) had liver injury, 4 (33.3%) had kidney injury, 2 (16.7%) had lung injury, 1 (8.3%) had spleen injury, and 1 (8.3%) had myocardial injury. Blood routine examination showed increased eosinophilia in the 11 children (91.7%) and increased atypical lymphocytosis in 5 children (41.7%). After the diagnosis of DIHS, vancomycin was discon-tinued in all the 12 children. After treatments with glucocorticoids, antihistamines, gammaglobulins, etc. (1 patient underwent liver transplantation), 11 children (91.7%) were improved and 1 (8.3%) died.Conclusions:The clinical manifestations of DIHS caused by vancomycin in children are typical, mainly manifested by fever, rash, lymphadenopathy, etc. The damaged organs are mainly the liver, followed by the kidneys. Most of the children have a good prognosis, and a few may have severe organ damage leading to death.
