Case Report: Neonatal Multi-System Inflammatory Syndrome Associated With SARS-CoV-2 Exposure in Two Cases From Saudi Arabia.

Vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is under investigation. A few reports suggest the possibility of SARS-CoV-2 transmission from mothers to their neonates. Most neonates have mild symptoms, but some develop multisystem involvement and shock.

COVID-19 infection prevalence in pediatric population: Etiology, clinical presentation, and outcome.

Novel COVID-19 infections caused major morbidity and mortality globally in the adult age group. Likewise, SARS-COV-2 infections in children are highly risky in the selected patient population. We performed a focused literature search of published reports from December 1, 2019, till August 20, 2020.

Perinatal and neonatal morbidity among infants of diabetic mothers at a university hospital in Central Saudi Arabia.

Objectives: To determine the perinatal and neonatal morbidity related to diabetes associated with pregnancy.

Methods: This is a prospective cohort study conducted at a tertiary university hospital in Central Saudi Arabia. All neonates born to mothers with pregnancy associated diabetes between July 2014 and June 2015 were recruited for the purpose of this study.

Management of convulsive status epilepticus in children: an adapted clinical practice guideline for pediatricians in Saudi Arabia.

Objective:: To increase the use of evidence-based approaches in the diagnosis, investigations and treatment of Convulsive Status Epilepticus (CSE) in children in relevant care settings.

Method:: A Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) adaptation group was formulated at a university hospital in Riyadh. The group utilized 2 CPG validated tools including the ADAPTE method and the AGREE II instrument.

Black lung persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn. Saudi experience with sildenafil and nitric oxide.

To determine the clinical presentation, risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment outcome of Saudi infants with black lung persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN). Methods: This is a retrospective review of all neonates with PPHN presented to the Armed Force Hospital Southern Region, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from January 2012 to December 2014. Results: Ten term and near term infants presented with PPHN were included.

A CYP21A2 gene mutation in patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Molecular genetics report from Saudi Arabia.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) with the pattern of CYP21A2 gene-mutations in Saudi children.

Methods: Between January 2011 and March 2014 at King Fahad Military Complex, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, we thoroughly examined 11 patients with CAH and 2 asymptomatic individuals with a history of affected siblings. Additionally, we sequenced the full coding regions of the CYP21A2 gene and screened the gene for deletion(s)/duplication(s) using the multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) technique.
