Published: February 2011

The purpose of this study was to review the clinical course of reported hypersensitivity reactions associated with use of soft tissue fillers and the response of these reactions to treatment. In this comprehensive literature review, we identified ~40 published reports that together reported numerous adverse reactions associated with use of nonpermanent soft tissue fillers; however, very few of these reactions were consistent with type I immediate or type IV delayed hypersensitivity reactions. Based on their clinical course and response to treatment, most reported hypersensitivity reactions are likely due to an infectious process. Although there are no confirmed reports of biofilm reactions associated with nonpermanent fillers, the possibility of bacterial contaminants should be considered in acute or chronic inflammatory reactions associated with use of nonpermanent soft tissue fillers. Early treatment with antibiotics is recommended.

Congenital neutropenia (CoN) is a heterogeneous group of inborn errors of immunity (IEI) characterized by recurrent infections and early onset of neutropenia (NP). This study aimed to investigate the demographic and clinical data of children with CoN and idiopathic neutropenia (IN) in Morocco. We performed a retrospective study of patients with CoN and analyzed the clinical and laboratory findings of patients with CoN and IN diagnosed between 1999 and 2018 in a clinical immunology unit of a large pediatric hospital.

This clinical case report describes the reconstructive management of a child who developed a rare aggressive soft tissue infection - necrotizing fasciitis - complicating varicella skin lesions, with a synthetic dermal regenerative template - NovoSorb Biodegradable Temporizing Matrix - in conjunction with a split thickness meshed skin graft. The scarcity of this clinical case, the need to cover large skin defect promptly while facing infectious and pediatric challenges make it interesting to describe NovoSorb Biodegradable Temporizing Matrix in addition to split thickness meshed skin graft a novel treatment in necrotizing fasciitis of the child. A rapid surgical treatment followed by this reconstructive strategy achieved an acceptable functional and aesthetic result, with timely healing despite the severity and extensive surface area of the infection.

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare congenital vascular malformations with associated morbidities. We describe a neonatal case of upper limb high-flow AVM presenting with upper limb soft tissue mass and postnatal high-output heart failure. Doppler study suggested high-flow AVM, and later magnetic resonance angiography of the right upper limb confirmed the diagnosis.
