We report the first case of intrafamily transmission of a C-MRSA clone harbouring toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1). Because of the risk of this clone to spread in the community, family members of these patients should be screened to detect and prevent the diffusion of recurrent or new infections.

In the past several years, children and adolescents have increasingly been enticed into playing dangerous and challenging games, particularly through social networks. Epidemiological data regarding this phenomenon are particularly difficult to come by, as is information regarding the somatic and psychological consequences of these activities, which can end up having fatal outcomes. We here report the case of a suspicion of child abuse that turned out to be due to participation in a challenge game known as "The Deodorant Challenge" by a 10-year-old child who presented with burn-like lesions.

Background: Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome is a monogenic type 1 interferonopathy with infantile onset, characterized by a variable degree of neurological damage. Approximately 7% of Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome cases are caused by pathogenic variants in the ADAR gene and are classified as Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome type 6. Here, we present a new homozygous pathogenic variant in the ADAR gene.

Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS), an autosomal recessive ciliopathy with pleiotropic effects, manifests as a spectrum of anomalies involving multiple genes and affects fewer than 3,000 individuals in the USA. Due to its rarity and phenotypic variability, early diagnosis of BBS poses a significant challenge. Therefore, we aim to shed light on the intrafamilial phenotypic variation of BBS resulting from a variant by delineating the clinical presentation in two siblings.

Article Synopsis
- * Over nine years, some patients experienced vision deterioration, while others maintained their eyesight, and the research followed three individuals closely to track their visual changes.
- * Understanding these variations can help develop specific treatments and therapies tailored to individuals with the same genetic variants in this condition.
