Neuroborreliosis manifested as persistent vomiting in three children.

Neuroborreliosis usually presents with facial palsy and meningitis, but unspecific symptoms may also occur and can result in delayed diagnosis. We report on 3 children in whom persistent vomiting was the key clinical finding of neuroborreliosis.

Enterococcal colonization of infants in a neonatal intensive care unit: associated predictors, risk factors and seasonal patterns.

Background: During and shortly after birth, newborn infants are colonized with enterococci. This study analyzes predictors for early enterococcal colonization of infants in a neonatal intensive care unit and describes risk factors associated with multidrugresistant enterococci colonization and its seasonal patterns.

Methods: Over a 12-month period, we performed a prospective epidemiological study in 274 infants admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit.
