A case of female child who had transient signs of hyperthyroidism after the birth is presented. Authors describe the clinical course and discuss the possible pathogenetic mechanisms. The importance of a timely diagnosis, a correct therapy and follow-up is emphasized.
The authors, after a review of the literature concerning Campylobacter and Yersinia infections, report the preliminary results of an epidemiologic study carried out in florentine territory based on the stool-cultures of children with acute diarrhoea in the years 1984-85-86. From the dates results that in florentine territory too, Campylobacter isolation is second only to Salmonella isolation, as we can find in other searches++ of literature. Therefore the conclusion is that these two microorganisms, from "emergent" have become as interesting as to be investigated as routine practice.
The authors report a case of Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome). Diagnosed at the age of 2 months.
