ABSTRACT
We report a laboratory confirmed case of vertical transmission of dengue in a mother-child pair in the eastern part of Puerto Rico. The clinical course of the pregnant female suggested a GBS infection, but laboratory tests confirmed it was dengue infection, one week after delivery. The male infant was healthy at birth, but one week after birth developed clinical complications related to vertical transmission of dengue. This report targets physicians in dengue endemic countries like Puerto Rico to be aware of the possibility of vertical transmission of dengue in symptomatic pregnant patients, especially around the time of delivery.
ABSTRACT
Se investigo la asociación de micosis superficiales en Neurofibromatosis (NF) y se comparó su incidencia con la de un grupo control encontrándose que cerca de las terceras partes de los casos presentaron micosis superficiales del tipo tinea pedis, onicomicosis y pitriases versicolor. Dado estos hallazgos, especulamos que la causa que determina las micosis superficiales en NF pueda esrar relacionada a la quefacilita el desarrollo de tumores no neurales en estos pacientes y ambos a su vez alguna disfunción inmunológica
