GH deficiency can have a genetic basis or can be acquired as a result of damage to the pituitary or hypothalamus by a tumor, infection, surgery, or radiation therapy. In childhood, GH deficiency presents as short stature and adiposity. (Neonates with isolated GH deficiency are of normal size at birth, presumably because fetal GH is not required for normal...

Nosocomial lower respiratory tract infections (LRI) represent a significant concern to those caring for hospitalized infants and children because of both their frequency and their potential severity. Pneumonia is the second most common nosocomial infections in all patients hospitalized in the United States regardless of age (1,2). Data from the National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance (NNIS) System documents that nosocomial pneumonia is the second most frequent hospital-acquired infection in critically ill infants and children as well (2,3). Many of the significant risk factors for the development of nosocomial pneumonia previously identified in adult patients, such as severe underlying cardiopulmonary disease, immunosuppression, depressed sensorium, and prior thoracoabdominal surgery, are present in pediatric patients and place them similarly at risk for nosocomial lower respiratory tract infections. In addition, there are specific clinical situations that are unique for neonatal and pediatric patients that provide additional risks for severe nosocomial lower respiratory tract infections (Table 1).
