Nonimmune hydrops fetalis diagnosed at 35 weeks gestation - a case report.

Nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) is a condition that can occur at any stage of pregnancy and is linked to a variety of disorders, resulting in severe perinatal complications and increased mortality risk. NIHF refers specifically to cases where maternal antibodies against red blood cell antigens are excluded. Early identification of the underlying causes is essential for managing pregnancy and deciding on treatment.

Peripheral adenopathies in children - an attempt of clinical morphological profile.

Aim: The authors have proposed to assess peripheral adenopathies in a series of hospitalized children in order to identify and define clinical and morphological profiles of different types of lymph node (LN) diseases.

Materials And Methods: The studied group consisted of 58 patients less than 18 years of age. The investigation algorithm included: gender, age, site, involvement, side, extension and histopathological (HP) type of LN lesions.

Clinico-pathological study of chronic rhinitis in adolescents.

Through the increasing incidence and association of asthma, chronic rhinitis (CR) raises major problems in the pathology of children and adolescents. The evaluation of the inflammatory status together with the diagnosis and the tandem treatment of the two conditions can contribute to the improvement of the patients' quality of life. In this study, we analyzed the immunoexpression of cluster of differentiation (CD) 20, CD8, CD138 and eosinophil major basic protein (MBP) in 24 cases of CR in adolescents, in eight of them existing the association of asthma.

Status thymicolymphaticus: real or fake?

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the sudden, unexpected death of an infant less than one year of age that remains unexplained after a full investigation. SIDS is the most frequent cause of death of infants between two weeks and one year of age, explaining 35% to 55% of all deaths in this age group. We report a newborn male who died soon after birth.

Rare thymic malignancy of B-cell origin - T-cell÷histiocyte-rich large B-cell lymphoma.

Aim: T-cell÷histiocyte-rich B-cell lymphoma is a rare type of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma reported as involving primarily the thymus only by one paper in the English literature.

Case Presentation: A four and a half years old boy was admitted, after a sudden onset in the middle of the night, with superior vena cava syndrome, resuscitated cardiac and respiratory arrest and severe coma with Glasgow Coma Scale rate of 3. In spite of intensive treatment, the patient repeated twice the cardiac arrest and died sixteen hours after admittance.

Brain abscess of unknown etiology in a 2-year-old child: a case report.

We present a case of brain abscess necroptically discovered in a 2-year-old child hospitalized in the Pediatrics Clinic of the "Filantropia" Municipal Hospital, Craiova, Romania. The family, with a poor financial situation, reports previous episodes that may be interpreted as comitial crises. Clinically speaking, he presents a height-weight hypertrophia, vitamin D loss rickets, and psychomotor retardation.

Aspiration pneumonia in an infant with neurological sequelae - case report.

Aspiration pneumonia is a frequent cause of morbidity and mortality in children with neurological deficits. We present the case of a 4-month-old infant from the Foster Care Center, with severe psychomotor retardation, blindness, and associated cardiac malformation, who was admitted to the Pediatrics Clinic of the Emergency County Hospital of Craiova, Romania, presenting aspiration pneumonia and moderate respiratory insufficiency. Under sustained, early instituted treatment, the evolution was towards death.

Inflamed molluscum contagiosum in a 6-year-old boy: a case report.

The precise prevalence of molluscum contagiosum (MC) is still unknown. The pediatric studies showed a cumulative incidence of 17% in children less than 15 years, but there are no studies available for Romania. The papular skin lesions are generally less than 5 mm, but the immunocompromised patients may develop large uncommon lesions.

Meckel's diverticulum in children, clinical and pathological aspects.

Meckel's diverticulum (MD) represents one of the most common malformations of the digestive tract, being a vestige of the proximal end of omphalo-mesenteric duct, which normally obliterates and atrophiates between the sixth and ninth week of intrauterine life. It is estimated that 2-4% of people are carriers of this malformation. The interest in this organ study lies in the fact that it presents its own non-specific pathology, mimicking a cecal, colon or small intestine pathology.
