a case series: congenital hyperinsulinism
conclusions congenital hyperinsulinism can have different inheritance pattern. autosomal recessive inheritance is more common but less frequently autosomal dominant inheritance can be seen. it appears that mutations in abcc8 gene can show both autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant inheritance of the disease. pcr followed by sanger sequencing proved to be an efficient method for mutation de...

Congenital tuberculosis is an unusual and severe clinical pattern of tuberculosis presentation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Furthermore, it usually has a difficult treatment. We report a two-month-old male infant who presented with fever, dyspnea and a diffuse micronodular pattern at x-ray; mother with severe tuberculosis.

متن کاملA Case Series: Congenital Hyperinsulinism
INTRODUCTION Congenital hyperinsulinism is a rare inherited disease caused by mutations in genes responsible for β-cell's function in glucose hemostasis leading to profound and recurrent hypoglycemia. The incidence of the disease is about 1 in 50000 newborns. Mutations in at least 8 genes have been reported to cause congenital hyperinsulinism. Mutations in ABCC8 gene are the most common cause o...
متن کاملPerinatal tuberculosis a case series.
Perinatal tuberculosis is insufficiently understood and has been rarely reported even in areas endemic for the disease, and unless a high index of suspicion is maintained the diagnosis can be missed. Differentiation of congenital from early postnatally acquired tuberculosis is only of epidemiological importance. We hereby report one case of congenital tuberculosis and three cases of perinatal t...
متن کاملCongenital Melanocytic Nevus Syndrome: A Case Series.
Congenital melanocytic nevus syndrome (CMNS) is the result of an abnormal proliferation of melanocytes in the skin and central nervous system caused by progenitor-cell mutations during embryonic development. Mutations in the NRAS gene have been detected in many of these cells. We present 5 cases of giant congenital melanocytic nevus, 3 of them associated with CMNS; NRAS gene mutation was studie...
