The part with the review articles contains few (yet interesting) contributions about: CVID, PVL and rickets… But all of you should check out the opinion article on chickenpox (it is like: ‘a Dew Drop on a Rose Petal’).

In the part with the clinical studies you may find the answer to the following questions:

• Is there more suicide risk in the adolescent population during the pandemic?
• Is extreme prematurity linked with depression or ADHD in adolescence?
• Is there an need for specific legislation on small magnets?
• Is home-hospital care a cost-effective alternative to hospital care?
• Does grade IV vesicoureteral reflux increase the odds of febrile recurrence of UTI?
• How should we counsel our patients on mRNA COVID-19 vaccine-associated myopericarditis?
• Are antibiotics administrated in very preterm infants associated with a higher risk of severe cerebral lesions?
• Do asthma symptoms due to allergy to house dust mites impair children’s school attendance?
• Is obesity also associated with severe COVID-19 in children?
• Can a gastrointestinal PCR-panel reduce inappropriate AB prescription in cases with infectious diarrhoea?
• Does dextrose gel influence the neonatal gut microbiome?
• Do children with ASD have lower, average or higher IQs?
• Can intranasally administered surfactant improve otitis media?
