Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the genotype distributions and epidemiological characteristics of Yersinia pestis in Gansu province.
- Using PCR, researchers genotyped 202 Yersinia pestis DNA samples and identified eight distinct genotypes, some of which had been present since the 1960s.
- While genotypes 1b, 8, and GS1 have remained prevalent, genotypes 7, 13, and 26 have not been isolated for over 40 years, and genotypes GS2 and 5 have gained prominence since the 1990s.

Background: Congenital pulmonary lymphangiectasis (CPL) characterized by dilatation of pulmonary lymphatic vessels occurs as a congenital anomaly. With poor prognosis, neonatal presentation of bilateral CPL is associated with the severe compromise of pulmonary gas exchange and high mortality.
Methods: A male infant born at 39 weeks of gestation was found to have CPL.
