Macrolides are a group of antimicrobial drugs used widely, being well known for their adverse cardiac effects. Erythromycin and clarithromycin are most commonly associated with these conditions. In recent years, azithromycin (AZM) has been assessed because of its possible relation to arrhythmias (mainly QT interval prolongation) and risk of cardiovascular death.1 The pharmacodynamics of these effects is complex and the occurrence of cardiovascular death is unpredictable.2 However, all published manuscripts on the cardiac effects of AZM to date are cases in adults or …
Spanish multicentre study on morbidity and pathogenicity of tracheal bronchus in children.

Tracheal bronchus (TRB) has been generally considered an anatomical variant of the tracheobronchial tree without a precise pathological effect. Its prevalence is estimated to be between 0.2% to 3% of all children undergoing bronchoscopy and scientific information has been limited to case reports or small case series. Our working hypothesis was that TRB could trigger by itself recurrent or persistent respiratory symptoms. The objective of this retrospective and multicentre study of children with a diagnosis of TRB, coming from the main paediatric pulmonology units of Spain, was to determine the anatomical and clinical characteristics, including comorbidities, of TRB in childhood and their im…
