RESUMEN

Background & objectives: Data on neonatal COVID-19 are limited to the immediate postnatal period, with a primary focus on vertical transmission in inborn infants. This study was aimed to assess the characteristics and outcome of COVID-19 in outborn neonates. Methods: All neonates admitted to the paediatric emergency from August 1 to December 31, 2020, were included in the study. SARS-CoV-2 reverse transcription- (RT)-PCR test was done on oro/nasopharyngeal specimens obtained at admission. The clinical characteristics and outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 positive and negative neonates were compared and the diagnostic accuracy of a selective testing policy was assessed. Results: A total of 1225 neonates were admitted during the study period, of whom SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR was performed in 969. The RT-PCR test was positive in 17 (1.8%). Mean (standard deviation) gestation and birth weight of SARS-CoV-2-infected neonates were 35.5 (3.2) wk and 2274 (695) g, respectively. Most neonates (11/17) with confirmed COVID-19 reported in the first two weeks of life. Respiratory distress (14/17) was the predominant manifestation. Five (5/17, 29.4%) SARS-CoV-2 infected neonates died. Neonates with COVID-19 were at a higher risk for all-cause mortality [odds ratio (OR): 3.1; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.1-8.9, P=0.03]; however, mortality did not differ after adjusting for lethal malformation (OR: 2.4; 95% CI: 0.7-8.7). Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive and negative likelihood ratios (95% CI) of selective testing policy for SARS-CoV-2 infection at admission was 52.9 (28.5-76.1), 83.3 (80.7-85.6), 82.8 (80.3-85.1), 3.17 (1.98-5.07), and 0.56 (0.34-0.93) per cent, respectively. Interpretation & conclusions: SARS-CoV-2 positivity rate among the outborn neonates reporting to the paediatric emergency and tested for COVID-19 was observed to be low. The selective testing policy had poor diagnostic accuracy in distinguishing COVID-19 from non-COVID illness.

RESUMEN

Abstract We present a case of a late preterm intrauterine growth-restricted neonate with isolated and persistent severe thrombocytopenia. At birth, the neonate did not have a complete clinical spectrum of congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) but later developed peculiar findings that helped clinch the diagnosis. The neonate also had interstitial pneumonia and died secondary to superimposed acute viral infection leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome. The serology was positive for IgM antibodies against the rubella virus. The constellation of clinical manifestations of congenital rubella in the presence of positive IgM antibody against rubella and consistent histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of CRS.

RESUMEN

Objective: To screen for language delay in very low birth weight (VLBW) children between6 months to 3 years using Language Evaluation Scale Trivandrum, 0-3 years. Methods:VLBW inborn neonates at a corrected age of 6 months to 3 years visiting follow-up clinicwere enrolled. Children with hearing loss were excluded. Prevalence and predictors oflanguage delay were ascertained. Results: Of 200 enrolled subjects, out of the 1400VLBW discharged, 64 (32%) had language delay. On multivariate analysis, late onsetsepsis, patent ductus arteriosus and poor socioeconomic status were significant predictorsof language delay. Abnormal neurological examination and suspect development were alsoassociated with language delay. Conclusions: In VLBW children, the frequency oflanguage delay is quite high. These children should be screened for language delay.

RESUMEN

Invasive aspergillosis is a major concern in neutropenic patients.We studied the utility of Galactomannan antigen detection test inserum using ELISA technique for early detection of invasiveaspergillosis. Diagnostic accuracy of Galactomannan index (GMI)test was maximum at a cut-off of > 1.5 with a negative predictivevalue of more than 95%
