Notes from the field: Pediatric intracranial infections - Clark County, Nevada, January-December 2022
Penney JA , Zhang Y , Bragg T , Bryant R , Lockett C . MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2023 72 (22) 606-607 In October 2022, the Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD) was notified of a higher-than-expected number of pediatric patients hospitalized with intracranial abscesses; similar concerns were previously reported nationally (1,2). This rare infection is associated with significant morbidity (3,4). When SNHD received the report in October 2022, 14 cases had been diagnosed in the largest pediatric hospital in southern Nevada. SNHD investigated the reported increase to confirm that a cluster had been detected, identify common risk factors for infection, report findings to the community, and recommend measures to prevent future cases. |
