Lancet 2019;393:2135–2145]) and ECLIPSE (from the PERUKI network; UK and Ireland [Lyttle MD et al. Lancet 2019;393:2125–34]). Kapur J et al . [ N Engl J Med 2019;381:2103–13.

The Archivist is currently working in an environment where there is a high prevalence of methicillin resistant Staphlococcus aureus (MRSA) skin and soft tissue infections. Management of this remains a major challenge to the paediatric and adult antibiotic stewardship world. When we identify this infection what should we do?

Although the results are obvious, this work represents a huge amount dedicated epidemiological research and illustrates the value of such methodological approaches to a problem. The Household Observation of MRSA in the Environment (HOME) prospective cohort study from USA recruited he

The numbers of people forcibly displaced from their homes because of conflict, persecution, natural disasters and famine is increasing globally, reaching 68.5 million at the end of 2017. Over half of the world’s refugees are children. Child refugees, asylum seekers and undocumented migrants are exposed to multiple risk factors for poor physical and mental health throughout their migration experience. International treaties and national legislation recognise child migrants’ ‘right to health’ and equitable access to healthcare, yet restrictive immigration policies, health system challenges and service provider barriers to care impede translation into practice. This review explores how the experiences of child refugees, asylum seekers and undocumented migrants in England impacts on their health and presents recommendations as to how their health needs can be met. from Archives of Disease in Childhood current issue https://ift.tt/37fhy2I
