Neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism due to compound heterozygous mutation of calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) gene presenting as encephalopathy.

The authors report a 14-d-old neonate who presented with lethargy, polyuria and dehydration and was found to have severe hypercalcemia with hyperparathyroidism. This neonate was treated with saline hydration, diuresis and injection pamidronate. Genetic analysis revealed a compound heterozygous mutation of CaSR.

A rare nonfatal presentation of disseminated Chromobacterium violaceum sepsis.

We present a case of disseminated Chromobacterium violaceum sepsis with multiple liver and splenic abscesses presenting with skin lesions and cardiogenic shock, and later diagnosed to have chronic granulomatous disease. The patient was treated with prolonged antimicrobial therapy, after which she recovered and remained asymptomatic on follow-up.
