Perinatal inflammation is associated with social and motor impairments in preterm children without severe neonatal brain injury.

Objective: To test the association between exposure to perinatal inflammation - i.e. clinical chorioamnionitis or early-onset neonatal infection - in preterm children without severe neonatal brain injury and neurodevelopmental outcome at 30 months of corrected age (CA).

[GACI syndrome: a case report with a neonatal beginning].

GACI (generalized arterial calcification of infancy) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by arterial and periarticular calcifications. Most children die in the first months of life of cardiovascular complications. Hypophosphatemic rickets (HR) resistant to medical treatment may complete the phenotype and is associated with a milder phenotype.

[Transplacental or breast milk intoxication to clonidine: a case of neonatal hypotonia and drowsiness].

We report a case of clonidine poisoning in a breastfed newborn. At 2 days of life, this boy presented a consciousness deficit with drowsiness, hypotonia, and suspected generalized seizures. There were no cardiorespiratory problems outside of progressive central apneas beginning the 5th day.

Severe cutaneous aspergillosis in a premature neonate linked to nonsterile disposable glove contamination?

After having eliminated a dysfunction of the hospital's ventilation system and any other possible environmental reservoir, the investigation of a fatal case of primary cutaneous aspergillosis in a neonate with extremely low birth weight led to the conclusion that nonsterile disposable gloves kept stored in their native packages were the likely source of contamination.
