Background: Thrombotic events are severe, often under-diagnosed, complications occurring in newborn infants during their hospital stay. Currently, there is no consensus regarding the optimal treatment scheme for thrombolysis in neonates.
Observations: We present the case of a newborn suffering from a life-threatening thrombosis. Diagnosis was suggested by a gradual increase of C-reactive protein, with repeatedly normal procalcitonin. Thrombosis was successfully and safely treated with a long scheme of 21 days of urokinase, supported by vascular ultrasound and d-dimer trend.
Conclusions: Laboratory and ultrasound results may help in adjusting the duration of the thrombolytic treatment, allowing for longer therapeutic schemes that could optimize treatment success. In addition, our case may suggest a possible combined role of C-reactive protein and procalcitonin as an early diagnostic aid in neonatal thrombosis.

Introduction: Biliary atresia (BA) is the most common indication for liver transplantation (LT) in children. We aimed to identify risk factors associated with survival in young patients with BA in the modern era.
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of BA patients aged < 2 years who received their first isolated LT with available data from the United Network for Organ Sharing database (01/2013-12/2022).

Background: COVID-19 infection during pregnancy could be associated with placental histopathological changes such as vascular diseases and malperfusion. There are studies showing that mRNA vaccines are not associated with significant placental pathological changes. Our objective was to evaluate the placental histopathology in pregnant women who received Sinopharm, an inactivated virus vaccine, during pregnancy.
