Early neonatal cutaneous candidiasis.

A premature female presented cutaneous lesions caused by Candida albicans at 12 h after delivery. Her mother carried Candida in the vagina. The lesions extended to face, both sides of the trunk and extremities, including palms and soles, and later to the mouth. The cutaneous manifestations healed in four weeks. It is proposed to use the term "early neonatal cutaneous candidiasis" to designate the forms of candidiasis which appear within the first hours after delivery, and "congenital cutaneous candidiasis" when lesions are present at delivery.

[Serum theophylline levels after oral administration in a group of asthmatic children].

Serum levels of theophylline were determined in 54 asthmatics children aged 3,92 +/- 2,45 years, who were taken oral theophylline at doses of 4,99 +/- 0,45 mg. The serum levels at 0 hours (9,22 +/- 4,90 mcg/ml) and at 2 hours (15,22 +/- 5,5 mcg/ml) showed a great variation, although they were taken similar doses. Two hours after ingestion, 34 patients showed levels between 10-20 mcg/ml in 10 children were less than 10 mcg/ml, and another 10 shown serum levels over 20 mcg/ml without symptoms. There was a good correlation between levels at 0 and 2 hours (p less than 0,002). These data may support the utility of doses employed. It is advisable knowing the individual response to theophylline for managing episodes of asthma in children, that can be made by only one determination 2 hours after ingestion.
