“…The lack of difference may be related to the fact that it was made for all pediatric age groups and covers a limited area. Similar to other studies, rotavirus and meningococcal B were the most recommended OVs for children [18,22,23].…”

“…Family physicians often refer to the vaccination nurse and the child's primary physician for vaccination information. In a small sample size study (n = 78), 23.1% of family physicians reported sufficient knowledge, and all of them were among those who received training on OVs [ 18 ]. The beliefs of healthcare professionals have been shown to influence their attitudes toward vaccination [ 19 ].…”

“…In the same study, the meningococcal vaccine was recommended by all pediatricians, the rotavirus was recommended by 82.8%, and the HPV vaccine was recommended by 89.2% [ 22 ]. In a small sample size study evaluating only family physicians, rotavirus was the most recommended vaccine (83.8%), followed by influenza (62.2%), meningococcal vaccine (39.1%), and HPV (27.5%) [ 18 ]. Çataklı et al [ 23 ] found that pediatricians recommend tetravalent meningococcal and rotavirus vaccines significantly more frequently than family physicians in a province of Turkey (Ankara).…”

Introduction: To maintain high vaccination rates, vaccination interventions should be targeted according to interests such as parents' knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and vaccine hesitancy.Methods: This research was conducted between June 2020 and April 2021 using a questionnaire about optional vaccines (OVs) in Turkey.Results: A total of 241 physicians participated and 14 physicians were excluded due to insufficient data. Finally, a total of 227 physicians, including 115 pediatricians and 112 family physicians, were included in the study. The mean age of pediatricians and family physicians was 33.42 ± 8.25 years and 35.46 ± 11.09 years, respectively. There was no significant difference between pediatricians and family physicians in terms of age and gender (p > 0.05). Nearly half of all physicians (49%) stated that they do not have sufficient knowledge about OVs. Pediatricians (64%) stated that they have sufficient knowledge at a higher rate than family physicians (37%) (p = 0.000). Physicians who declared having sufficient knowledge informed families about OVs more frequently than those with insufficient knowledge (p = 0.000). Pediatricians provide information about OVs more frequently than family physicians (p = 0.001). Rotavirus and meningococcal vaccines were the most frequently recommended vaccines.Conclusions: Rotavirus and meningococcal B were the most recommended OVs. About half of the physicians participating in the study stated that they did not have sufficient knowledge about OVs. Physicians with sufficient knowledge of OVs recommend OVs more frequently.

“…Viruses are the most common etiological factor of enteritis [10]. Rotavirus displays prominent tropism for the intestinal enterocytes and is accepted to be the major cause of viral gastroenteritis in pediatric patients [11]. The incidence of rotavirus in stool samples of BMT patients has been reported as high as 10%.…”

Spontaneous colonic cast excretion per anus is a very rare entity. Colonic ischemia and severe infections are the most common etiologic factors. It is mostly seen in adults. Only one pediatric patient with colonic cast excretion was reported in the literature. We present a three-year-old male patient with the diagnosis of neuroblastoma who had undergone autologous BMT. After suffering a prolonged rotavirus infection, on the 25 th the post-transplantation day, he presented with nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and spontaneous excretion of colonic mucosa-like material via defecation. The histopathological interpretation of the excreted material revealed acellular material composed of fibrin and neutrophils. The patient's colonoscopic biopsy specimen revealed crypt distortion, regeneration, and numerous apoptotic bodies within the crypt epithelium. Apoptotic colopathy and colonic cast excretion per anus is a sign of ischemia, which may be caused by severe intestinal infections or rarely, graft-versus-host disease. Therefore, a clinicopathological correlation was performed to reach a definitive diagnosis. The patient's symptoms were attributed to severe, prolonged rotavirus infection.
