1/4. Is noma neonatorum a presentation of ecthyma gangrenosum in the newborn?noma neonatorum was suggested as a distinct entity characterized by a gangrenous process of the nose, oral cavity, eyelids and perineum that was almost universally fatal in premature infants with Pseudomonas sepsis. We report the first case of noma neonatorum in a 26-week-gestation twin born in the united states. Our case is consistent with previous descriptions of noma neonatorum; however, we question the distinction between noma neonatorum and a neonatal presentation of ecthyma gangrenosum.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = neonatorum (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/4. noma neonatorum.noma Neonatorum is characterized by a gangrenous process involving mucocutaneous junctions of oral, nasal and anal area and occasionally, the eyelids and scrotum. It is seen during the first few weeks of neonatal life in premature and low birth weight babies. noma Neonatorum is commonly described with pseudomonas aeruginosa septicemia. A case of noma Neonatorum associated with E.coli sepsis is described for the first time.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = neonatorum (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/4. noma neonatorum.noma neonatorum is a gangrenous process involving oral, nasal and anal area and occasionally, the eyelids and scrotum. It is seen during the first few weeks of neonatal life. The disease is caused by P. aeruginosa and is usually fatal. noma neonatorum should be distinguished from the regular noma as it comprises a distinct age group, clinical course, microbiology and prognosis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.75keywords = neonatorum (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/4. Ischemic extremities due to compartment syndromes in a septic neonate.The clinical presentation and diagnostic evaluation of a septic neonate with sclerema neonatorum and impending tissue loss secondary to compartment syndromes is presented. Vascular disease leading to tissue loss is uncommon in children. To our knowledge, this is the only reported case of a compartment syndrome leading to tissue loss in a neonate.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.125keywords = neonatorum (Clic here for more details about this article) |
