Escarlatina estafilocócica como manifestación atenuada del síndrome de escaldadura estafilocócica / Staphylococcal scarlet fever as a mild manifestation of Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome

Se presenta el caso de un niño de cuatro años con fiebre, adenopatías y faringoamigdalitis con exantema escarlatiniforme. Se trató con amoxicilina/ácido clavulánico y evolucionó favorablemente. Se aisló Staphylococcus aureus en la faringe y dos semanas después presentó descamación en dedo de guante. Parece tratarse de una forma abortada del síndrome de escaldadura estafilocócica (AU)

[Neonatal cardiac insufficiency caused by a cerebral arteriovenous fistula. Review of the authors' cases]. / Insuficiencia cardiaca neonatal por fístula arteriovenosa cerebral. Revisión de nuestros casos.

UNLABELLED: Four cases of newborn infants presenting congestive heart failure in the first two weeks of life with the clinical suspicion of cerebral arteriovenous fistula which was subsequently confirmed by cerebral echography or TAC and, after death, by necropsy, are described. Only one patient survived, the one treated surgically. CONCLUSION: It is necessary to carry out urgent diagnosis with an early surgical operation, the only possibility of survival for these children.
