The authors report the case of an term infant weighing 2,860 kgs, who presented with failure to thrive during the two first months of life. Clinical features suggested the diagnosis of leprechaunism. After a review of the literature, the authors conclude that the diagnosis of this rare condition is essentially a clinical one, as there are no specific laboratory tests.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the preparedness for and public health responses to the first two COVID-19 waves in six remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Queensland.
- Vaccination coverage varied before the first outbreak, with first doses ranging from 59% to 84% and second doses from 39% to 76%.
- During the study, 2,624 COVID-19 cases were reported, with attack rates differing across communities and only a small number resulting in hospitalization or death.
Differentiation of Prior SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Postacute Sequelae by Standard Clinical Laboratory Measurements in the RECOVER Cohort.
Ann Intern Med
September 2024
Departments of Pediatrics and Medicine, Case Western Reserve University, and University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, Cleveland, Ohio (G.A.M.).
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to identify clinical laboratory markers associated with postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC) due to a lack of validated biomarkers.
- Conducted with 10,094 participants across 83 sites, the research compared laboratory measures between those with and without prior SARS-CoV-2 infection and analyzed the impact of PASC indices on these measures.
- Results showed participants with prior infection had lower platelet counts and higher levels of hemoglobin A and urinary albumin-creatinine ratio, but these differences were minor and not significant among those with PASC.

Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome (RMS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by severe insulin resistance, resulting in early-onset diabetes mellitus. We report the first case of RMS in a Paraguayan patient. The patient is a 6-year-old girl who presented with hypertrichosis, acanthosis nigricans, nephrocalcinosis, and elevated levels of glucose and insulin that served as diagnostic indicators for RMS.
