[Epignathus, the importance of prenatal diagnosis and interdisciplinary work: A case report].

Thanks to technological advances, it has been possible to carry out the prenatal diagnosis of different life-threatening congenital malformations. Among these, oral teratoma, or epignathus, is a rare form of congenital teratoma within those located in the head and neck. They are generally benign and comprise 4 % of neonatal teratomas.

Respiratory pathogens in infants less than two months old hospitalized with acute respiratory infection.

Lower acute respiratory infections (ARI) are a frequent cause of morbidity and mortality in infants, respiratory viruses being the major causative agents. The aim of this work was to determine the respiratory pathogen frequency, the clinical characteristics and the outcome in infants <2 months old hospitalized with ARI. A retrospective study was performed during a five-year period (2008-2011, 2014-2016).

Nosocomial Transmission and Genetic Diversity of Rhinovirus in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Rhinoviruses were detected as sole pathogens in 6 preterm infants who developed severe respiratory infections while hospitalized in a neonatal intensive care unit. We confirmed 2 nosocomial rhinovirus transmission episodes and describe the genetic diversity of rhinovirus strains that circulated simultaneously during a winter season.
