In this week's episode, part of our recurring Journal Club series, we're delving into groundbreaking research that reveals an increased risk of infection linked to a common medication used for stomach problems in both adults and kids. The article is from JAMA Pediatrics and titled "Proton Pump Inhibitor Use and Risk of Serious Infections in Young Children." Find the full text of the article here.
