Bilateral Bell's palsy due to Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection.

A 12-month-old infant developed bilateral facial paresis 4 weeks following a febrile illness associated with tonsillitis, bronchopneumonia and hepatosplenomegaly. Complement fixing antibody titer to Mycoplasma pneumoniae was 1:128, which subsequently dropped to 1:16. The clinical presentation in our patient was unusual in that he developed bilateral facial palsy at a very young age, and there was also a possible association of the palsy with Mycoplasma infection.

Prostaglandins in small intestinal mucosa of children with celiac disease.

Diarrhea is one of the important clinical symptoms in patients suffering from celiac disease and is attributed mainly to malabsorption. We determined prostanoid content in small intestinal mucosa of five patients with active celiac disease and in a control group consisting of six patients. Prostaglandin E2 and thromboxane B2 content in duodenal mucosa of patients with active celiac disease was 1,581 +/- 161 and 118 +/- 40 pg/mg wet wt, respectively, significantly higher than their content in duodenal mucosa of the control group, 378 +/- 86 and 8 +/- 8, p less than 0.001 and p less than 0.02, respectively. 6-Ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha content in celiac patients was not significantly different from its content in the control group: 908 +/- 437 and 124 +/- 53 pg/mg wet wt, respectively. It is possible that, in celiac disease, increased mucosal prostanoid content may contribute, at least in part, to intestinal electrolyte and fluid secretion and consequent diarrhea.

A complex three way translocation resulting in two sibs with partial trisomy 3p23----3pter.

A male infant with multiple congenital anomalies and psychomotor retardation was found to have a translocation resulting in partial trisomy for the distal part of chromosome 3p. An older sister with similar clinical findings had an identical karyotype. Chromosome studies in the phenotypically normal parents revealed a balanced translocation in the mother involving chromosomes 3, 11, and 18. An identical translocation was found in one of the normal children.

Weaver-Smith syndrome. A case study with long-term follow-up.

We studied a 6-year-old-boy who was followed up from infancy and who had Weaver-Smith syndrome (WSS), a syndrome characterized by excessive growth, dysmorphic facies, psychomotor retardation, and specific radiologic features. The child's height and bone age were far greater than his chronological age and he demonstrated hypothyroidism at the age of 6 years, but had no endocrinologic abnormalities when he was examined at 11 months of age and again at 4 years of age. We compared the clinical and laboratory features of this child with all other reported cases of WSS.

Acetaminophen hypersensitivity resembling Kawasaki disease.

A 15-month-old girl initially suspected of having Kawasaki disease is presented. The diagnosis was based on the combination of prolonged fever, conjunctivitis, edema of hands and feet, exanthem and lymphadenopathy. A workup for infectious etiologies was negative. She was subsequently found to have acetaminophen hypersensitivity. To our knowledge this clinical presentation of acetaminophen hypersensitivity has not previously been described in medical literature in English.

Pancreatitis as a complication of Henoch--Schonlein purpura.

A 5-year-old girl suffering from Henoch--Schonlein purpura developed severe abdominal pain accompanied by vomiting and fever. Concomitantly, the serum amylase level became elevated and leukocytosis developed, with a shift to the left. A diagnosis of pancreatitis complicating Henoch--Schonlein purpura was made. This rare complication is presented, along with a review of the literature.

Campylobacter enteritis in infants and young children.

Campylobacter has recently been recognized as a common pathogen of the intestinal tract in pediatric practice. We report on 21 patients who were diagnosed as having enteritis due to Campylobacter jejuni infection. The most common symptom was diarrhea, accompanied by fever, vomiting and abdominal pain. The in vitro sensitivity test demonstrated the efficacy of aminoglycosides, chloramphenicol and erythromycin in the treatment of this disease. All the patients were symptom-free when discharged from the hospital.

Familial erythrophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in infancy.

A 2 1/2-month-old infant suffering from pyrexia, purpura, hepatosplenomegaly, pancytopenia and hyperlipidemia is reported. Liver and spleen biopsies revealed mononuclear histiocytic infiltration with marked erythrophagocytosis. The girl died at 7 1/2 months of age. Her brother died in infancy with an analogous clinical picture. The parents were first cousins. The clinical presentation and laboratory findings are consistent with the diagnosis of familial erythrophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.

Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome in a mother and her son.

The Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome--exomphalos, macroglossia and gigantism--occurred in a mother and her son. The clinical and metabolic features of this syndrome are described. We believe this is the first report of this syndrome affecting a mother and her son. An autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance is suggested.

Propionic acidemia and anorectal anomalies in three siblings.

Three siblings suffering from recurrent vomiting, hypotonia, hyperpnea, dehydration, and ketoacidosis were diagnosed as having ketotic hyperglycinemia secondary to propionic acidemia. They also had leukopenia and thrombocytopenia, and two of them had anorectal malformations, one an imperforate anus with rectoperineal fistula, and the other an ectopic anus. The occurrence of propionic acidemia and anorectal anomalies in three siblings out of eight children in a consanguineous marriage suggests an autosomal recessive genetic inheritance.
