Coronavirus disease, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is mainly transmitted through droplets, but other ways of transmission have been hypothesized. We report a case vertical SARS-CoV-2 in preterm born to an infected mother, confirmed the presence virus neonatal blood, nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs collected first half hour life. The neonate presented with distress, similar findings severely affected adults. This highlights importance...
The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence Torque Teno virus (TTV) infection in Portuguese children younger than 3 years old and compare its detection blood versus saliva. Samples, 242 saliva 20 plasma, were collected from neonates children. A real-time polymerase chain reaction applied detect TTV load. Eighteen paired samples plasma concordant for viral DNA, a correlation between both statistically significant. 75.5% 3.6% neonates, but it not possible origin positive cases...
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most frequent cause of congenital infection all over world. Its prevalence ranges from 0.2 to 2.2%. Transmission children their pregnant mothers a well-known risk factor, particularly if they attend childcare centre. This study aims compare CMV (CMV_CI) in Portugal (Lisbon) between two studies, performed respectively 2019 and 2020. In study, hospitals, we found 0.67% CMV_CI prevalence, using pool strategy previously tested with saliva samples. 2020 same approach...
A preterm newborn presented at birth with generalised oedema, disseminated bullous and desquamative exanthema palmoplantar involvement hepatomegaly, admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit severe multisystemic disease, haemodynamic instability respiratory distress. The mother had a history of treated latent syphilis before pregnancy. Venereal Disease Research Laboratory screening was negative in first trimester, titre 1:2 second trimester 1:32 third result only available medical team...
Infections due to carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) are increasing worldwide and especially concerning in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Risk factors for CPE gut colonization neonates need be clarified. In this work, we describe the epidemiological clinical features of CPE-colonized newborns infection control measures Portuguese NICU. We performed prospective, observational, longitudinal, cohort study surveillance colonization. Maternal colonized strategy were described....
Pituitary gland duplication is a particularly rare finding. Different theories have been proposed to explain its pathogenesis, however, this phenomenon not yet totally understood. Recently, of the pituitary (DPG)-plus syndrome has described, associating DPG with other blastogenic defects. We present clinical and imaging findings newborn girl DPG, associated multiple midline anomalies, including nasopharyngeal teratoma, palate cleft deformity, bifid nasal bridge, tongue uvula, hypoplasia...
Key Clinical Message Venlofaxine, a widely used antidepressant, is known to cause withdrawal syndrome. We present case of neonatal transient ventricular dysfunction in neonate exposed venlafaxine utero. Other causes were excluded. Neonatal can be possible side effect maternal use this drug.
A 34-week-old gestational baby boy, weighing 2104 g, was born with multiple organ dysfunction and a skin rash. During pregnancy, the mother had reactive venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL) test (1:16) that didn't receive any treatment. After birth, target erythaematous maculopapular rash on child's hands soles (figures 1A, B 2) evident. He also hepatosplenomegaly, pneumonitis, anaemia (haemoglobin 11.3 g/dL), thrombocytopaenia (29 000/µL), C protein 28 mg/dL …
Abstract Human breast milk is the first food source available to newborns and responsible for healthy growth development during months of life. contains vitamins, hormones, cytokines, microbiota, immune cells that are such conditions. Nonetheless, knowledge vast array molecules present in human their potential health effects still lacking. The mothers’ diets on also generally unknown. benefits (poly)phenols have been largely increasing but presence has put aside. impact mother’s diet...

Background: Cytomegalovirus is the most common cause of congenital infections worldwide. Screening all newborns in first 2 weeks life only way to detect cases infection, allowing monitoring children with asymptomatic infection at birth and early intervention. Aim: In this multicenter study, we aimed evaluate feasibility using a saliva pool strategy for mass screening 7 Portuguese hospitals, estimate current prevalence these hospitals. Methods: A total 7033 were screened between June 2020...

We present the case of a preterm newborn, whose mother had medical history systemic lupus erythematosus and antiphospholipid syndrome treated in pregnancy with enoxaparin, prednisolone, azathioprine hidroxicloroquine. Routine ultrasonography at 28 weeks gestation revealed cerebral artery blood flow changes ventricular dilatation fetus. Elective caesarean section was performed 4 days gestational age. In neonatal intensive care unit, newborn developed central catheter complications four...
