Bleeding time and capillary morphology was within normal limits. Dental extraction after transfusion caused almost uncontrollable haemorrhage.A complete family history was obtained for four generations. There was no case of a “bleeder” amongst these.The girl’s apparent sex was confirmed by sex chromatin studies.

Clostridium ghoni and Hemophilus parainfluenzae are uncommon causes of human infection. Both of these agents were isolated from joint fluid in a child with septic arthritis. CASE REPORT An 8-month-old white girl was admitted with a three-day history of irritability, fever, and inability to lie on her right side. Ten days prior to admission bilateral otitis media was treated with 600,000 units of benzathine penicillin intramuscularly and sulfisoxazole suspension (1 gm daily until admission). Fever and irritability from otitis abated by the fifth day of therapy. On admission the infant appeared acutely ill and had a temperature of 39.7 C.

AbstractMock white girl(MWG) performances parody a linguistic and embodied style associated with contemporary middle class white girls in the United States. The article identifies bundles of semiotic resources in the stylization of the white girl persona—for example, creaky voice, uptalk, blondeness, and Starbucks—in three genres of MWG:Savior,Shit white girls say, andTeenage girl problems. While semiotic variables used to index the white girl persona are consistent across performances, there is significant variation in performers’ ideological stances relative to the mocked figure of personhood: white girls in the US are not ‘heard’ in any one way by all social actors. Contextualizing MWG performances through analysis of stance reveals critical variation in how the white girl is interpreted, evaluated, and produced as a meaningful social entity by diverse segments of the population.

Thyroid disorders have been reported following congenital rubella: four cases of thyroiditis1-4 and two patients with thyrotoxicosis5,6 are known. We report a patient with childhood myxedema and congenital rubella, and indicate that myxedema may occur as a sequela to rubella. This combination of disorders should be added to thyroiditis,5 hypopituitarism7 and adrenal insufficiency4 in the spectrum of possible late diabetes mellitus complications of the congenital rubella syndrome. Patients with congenital rubella should be tested periodically for these endocrine deficiencies. CASE REPORT An 8[unknown]-year-old white girl was the product of a seven-month gestation complicated by maternal rubella in the first trimester. Birth weight was 1 kg.

To the Editor.— Chamovitz et al1 recently reported the occurrence of hemolytic-uremia syndrome with evidence of Campylobacter jejuni infection in both a mother and daughter. Although they indicated that there were no previous reports of the association of this enteric pathogen with hemolytic-uremic syndrome, we must point out the report of Denneberg et al,2 who noted this association in 1982. In addition, we have recently treated a 22-month-old white girl with classic hemolytic-uremic syndrome who had bloody diarrhea as an early symptom.

Childhood obesity has become an important management problem for the practicing pediatrician. Carbohydrate restrictive diets are being utilized in treatment with increasing frequency in recent years.1,2 Hyperuricemia during carbohydrate deprivation is a well-documented entity in adults,3,4 but has not been reported in children. In the following report we describe a child who developed severe hyperunicemia following a low-carbohydrate ketogenic regimen during the initial period of treatment of obesity. CASE REPORT R. F., a 10-year-old white girl, was admitted to North Shore University Hospital for management of severe exogenous obesity. She was the product of a normal pregnancy and uncomplicated delivery, and weighed 2,660 kg at birth.
