    Notes: Abstract The board of the Dutch Paediatric Association requested a survey of the scientific research performed in all academic and non-academic paediatric hospitals, authorized to train medical doctors in paediatrics in the Netherlands. Contributions to the international and the Dutch scientific literature, in the form of regular publications, chapters in books, contributions to proceedings and Ph.D. theses were counted over two 5-year periods, i.e. 1981–1985 and 1986–1990. The quality of publications in the international journals was assessed using the average impact factor of the journals over the 10-year period. The number of publications in the international literature doubled during the observation period 1986–1990 compared to the period 1981–1985. Nevertheless, the quality of the publications remained the same. Metabolism, oncology/ haematology, immunology/infectious diseases and cardiology are the subspecialisations in which scientific research takes place in four or more academic paediatric hospitals. In total, 84 Ph.D. theses were produced in which a paediatrician was either the project leader (mostly a professor in paediatrics) or the investigator-in-charge. Insight into structure and major research efforts of paediatric hospitals in other countries of Europe may lead to exchange of views and, maybe, profitable co-operation.

    Notes: Abstract This was an uncontrolled, open-label follow up study of a previous 12-month, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial performed to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of Recombinant Human Interferon Gamma (rIFN-γ) in patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). In two centres, 28 patients (24 male, 4 female) with a mean age of 16 years (range 3–37) entered the open-label phase. The patients were treated for a mean of 880 days (range 97–1375 days). Visits were scheduled every 180 days and patients completed one to six visits. rIFN-γ was administered subcutaneously three times weekly at a dose of 0.05 mg per m2. During the open-label phase of the study 12 patients experienced a serious infection requiring hospitalization within 880 days. The median infection-free time was 993 days. No obvious increase of infections over time was seen. Phagocyte superoxide anion production and phagocyte staphylococcal killing were not influenced by therapy. Seven patients were withdrawn from the study, one because of an adverse reaction, three on their own wish and the other three because they changed to another trial. No patient died during the study. Conclusion Treatment of patients with CGD with intracellular active antibiotics and additional interferon gamma as infection prophylaxis is safe and justified.
