Article Synopsis
- Sclerema neonatorum (SN) is a serious and rare skin condition found in newborns, characterized by the hardening of skin and fat tissue, primarily affecting sick, premature infants.
- The condition typically appears within the first week of life and is diagnosed clinically, with symptoms sparing areas without fat like palms and soles.
- In a case study, an eight-day-old premature infant with early-onset sepsis showed signs of SN but, despite treatment with antibiotics and topical creams, sadly passed away by day twelve.
