ABSTRACT
We collected data on 1054 children admitted to Ebola Holding Units in Sierra Leone and describe outcomes of 697/1054 children testing negative for Ebola virus disease (EVD) and accompanying caregivers. Case-fatality was 9%; 3/630 (0.5%) children discharged testing negative were readmitted EVD-positive. Nosocomial EVD transmission risk may be lower than feared.

In 1909 the neurologist Dr. Hans Steinert was the first to describe the most common of all neural-muscular diseases: Mytotonic Dystrophy Curschmann Steinert. Up to today this disease is seldom published particularly in obstetrics. This is a case report of a 23-year-old patient. Following extensive interdisciplinary diagnostic a successful caesarian delivery of a healthy boy was performed in the 39(th) week of pregnancy without any complications.
