Suctioning neonates at birth: time to change our approach.

There's a better way to clear secretions from a neonate's mouth and nose, and it's less likely to cause adverse effects.

Strongyloides as a cause of fever of unknown origin.

Strongyloides is endemic in parts of the United States. Most often it is asymptomatic but it has a wide range of clinical presentations. Because of the unusual capacity of strongyloides for autoinfection, it can cause hyperinfection, when it effects the pulmonary and gastrointestinal systems, or disseminated infection, when other organs are involved. Both hyperinfection and disseminated strongyloides usually occur in immunosuppressed patients. We report a case of hyperinfection with strongyloides in a man presenting with fever of unknown origin who was not immunosuppressed.
