Congenital lipomatous overgrowth, vascular malformations, and epidermal nevi (CLOVE) syndrome is a recently described similar to Proteus but lacking the progressive or distorting bony overgrowth of syndrome. We describe neonate with features CLOVE nevus unius lateris.
Positive CSF culture is the gold standard for diagnosis of meningitis but it carries poor sensitivity. procalcitonin (PCT) shown to have some utility though there are limited studies in neonatal age group. We planned this study compare CSF, serum, and serum PCT levels neonates with confirmed, probable, nonmeningitis groups determine its optimal cut-off diagnosing meningitis.Sixty-seven who qualified lumbar puncture were enrolled study. Neonates categorized into confirmed meningitis, i.e.,...
Objectives Partial arterial pressure of oxygen/fraction oxygen in inspired air (PaO2/FiO2) ratio has been used as a predictor outcome some neonatal conditions, but not meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS). This study was conducted with the objective to if PaO2/FiO2 < 200 at 6, 12, and 24 hours life can predict mortality neonates MAS. Study Design Two hundred MAS were included study. calculated life. Sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, likelihood cut-off calculated. Results found...
Severe perinatal depression is a significant cause of mortality and morbidity in neonates. Vitamin D levels were observed to be low mothers their neonates with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy some studies, owing its neuroprotective properties.Primary objective was compare vitamin deficiency state full term severe healthy controls. Secondary objectives determine sensitivity specificity serum 25(OH)D<12 ng/mL predicting mortality, development encephalopathy, abnormal neurological examination...
Background: Juvenile myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare autoimmune neuromuscular disorder and has varied presentation in childhood making it diagnostic challenge. Clinical Description: An 8-year-old girl presented to the pediatric emergency with multiple episodes of falling, drooling saliva, dysphagia, bilateral ptosis. Within few hours admission, she had acute deterioration, developed respiratory failure, was put on ventilatory support. Management Outcome: A myasthenic crisis suspected...
With improved and prolonged survival of very extremely low birth weight infants, invasive fungal infection has emerged as an important concern in the neonatal intensive care units. Candidiasis is third leading cause late onset sepsis these neonates associated with 20–30% mortality. Extreme prematurity, central venous catheters, antibiotic exposure, parenteral nutrition are risk factors. Various forms cutaneous manifestations candidiasis have been described ranging from local diaper...
Background: Neonatal shock is associated with high mortality and morbidity. Shock index (SI), a ratio of heart rate (HR) to systolic blood pressure (BP), has been evaluated as simple tool for early predictor in adult well pediatric patients. Objective: The objective this study was compare SI modified (MSI) among survivors nonsurvivors neonatal healthy controls. Materials Methods: HR BP were measured neonates presenting clinical at 0, 2, 6 h after admission MSI calculated compared between...
Hyperextension of the neck at birth can injure phrenic nerve and/or brachial plexus usually point where crosses plexus. We present a case preterm baby, who had Erb’s palsy and diaphragmatic paralysis since after breech delivery. Persistent respiratory distress chest X-ray gave clue to diagnosis, which was confirmed on ultrasound. The baby recovered conservative approach 2 months life without surgical plication. This study describes that late spontaneous recovery up is possible in newborn...
