Bacterial endocarditis in neonates is a rare. Generally neonates who develop endocarditis have required the invasive intensive care monitoring necessary for the support and treatment of a high-risk nursery population.  Neonatal Infective endocarditis is usually reported as a fatal disease. With early diagnosis and treatment we can change prognosis to better side.

Aggressive retinopathy of prematurity (AP-ROP) has subtle clinical findings that may preclude early diagnosis and treatment. Premature infants with AP-ROP have a progressive clinical course and may benefit from early laser treatment. Although subjective in nature, plus disease, and any posterior pole changes especially at the border of the vascular and avascular retina should be carefully evaluated, keeping AP-ROP in mind in especially high-risk preterm babies.

This paper reviews galactosaemia and describes the experience of the Willink Biochemical Genetics Unit in the management of classical galactosaemia. Galactokinase and UDPgalactose-4-epimerase deficiency are dealt with briefly. The former disorder is readily treated with a galactose free diet and if this is started early in life, the only complication, cataracts, is avoided. Epimerase deficiency is a relatively ‘new’ disorder and little is known about the eventual outcome of affected patients. Early observations suggest that the prognosis is likely to be poor even in those patients diagnosed and treated soon after birth. Classical galactosaemia leads to a number of long term complications. The prognosis for normal mental development in affected patients is poor. Unfortunately this does not appear to be reversible by early diagnosis and treatment and whilst every effort should be made to establish an early diagnosis our experience suggests that there is no difference in the ultimate mental development between those who are detected within the first two weeks of life and those before the age of six weeks. In addition female homozygotes are at a very high risk of developing ovarian failure at an early age.

: There are many unknown questions and puzzle pieces that should describe the clinical course of COVID-19 and its complications, especially ARDS. We provide the initial immediate surge response to allow every patient in need of an ICU bed to receive one. Till our knowledge is improved, the most important intervention in the treatment of critically ill patients with COVID-19 seems to be the level of standard care and appropriate and early diagnosis and treatment. It seems that each center should have its protocol on the management of critically ill COVID-19 patients regarding prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. This treatment should now be performed regardless of the reason which lies behind the pathophysiology of this disease, which is yet unknown. In this report, we share our experience in the management of critically ill COVID-19 patients during the 2 months in our intensive care unit.

Early Surgical Intervention

Fungal infective endocarditis of the prosthetic pulmonary valve in non immunocompromised host is growing phenomena attributed to the increased use of prosthetic materials. High mortality and neurovascular sequalae is commonly seen in such case if treatment is delayed. Often misdiagnosed as bacterial endocarditis due to closely resembling clinical features and lack of inexpensive and readily available laboratory tests, the diagnosis is often delayed. High index of suspicion and early surgical intervention is needed for early diagnosis and management

The Brain

Cerebriform intradermal nevus is a rare disorder characterised by development of folds and furrows on the scalp, giving it a convoluted appearance resembling surface of the brain. There are two main forms of CVG, primary and secondary. Secondary form may appear at any age and is usually secondary to causes such as tumors, Cerebriform intradermal nevus (CIN), neurofibromas or amyloidosis. There is high risk of development of malignant melanoma in patients of CIN presenting as CVG. Hence early diagnosis and treatment is important.
