Neonatal Behçet's disease with Raynaud phenomenon
Journal of Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine
|November 12, 2016
Summary
This study describes a new clinical sign of neonatal Behcet disease: Raynaud
Area of Science:
- Neonatal medicine
- Immunology
- Dermatology
Background:
- Behcet disease is a rare multisystem inflammatory disorder.
- Maternal active Behcet disease during pregnancy poses risks to the neonate.
- Neonatal Behcet disease is infrequent but requires clinical vigilance.
Observation:
- A newborn presented with Raynaud phenomena and oral ulcerations on day two of life.
- The mother had active Behcet disease during pregnancy.
- This represents a novel clinical manifestation of neonatal Behcet disease.
Findings:
- The neonate exhibited vasomotor phenomena (Raynaud) and oral ulcerations.
- These mucocutaneous lesions appeared early in the neonatal period.
- This case highlights a new clinical presentation of neonatal Behcet disease.
Implications:
- Clinicians must recognize this new manifestation of neonatal Behcet disease.
- Early identification is crucial for managing potential complications.
- Awareness of this presentation can improve neonatal outcomes in Behcet disease.

01:23Rheumatic Heart Disease I: Introduction
717
Rheumatic heart disease or RHD is a chronic condition that results from rheumatic fever, causing permanent damage to the heart valves.Etiology and Risk FactorsIt primarily arises from rheumatic fever, an inflammatory disease that can develop after untreated or inadequately treated group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis. Streptococcus spreads through direct contact with oral or respiratory secretions. While the bacteria are the causative agents, factors like malnutrition, overcrowding, poor...

01:25Endocarditis II: Clinical Features of Infective Endocarditis
687
Endocarditis can present various clinical features depending on the causative organism and the patient's underlying health conditions. Initially, the clinical features of infective endocarditis develop gradually, presenting with nonspecific symptoms that can be easily mistaken for other illnesses.General SymptomsEarly symptoms of infective endocarditis are fever, chills, weakness, malaise, fatigue, and weight loss. These symptoms reflect the systemic nature of the infection and the body's...

01:21Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation
575
Clinical manifestationsPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) manifests through a range of symptoms, from the characteristic intermittent claudication to atypical presentations and severe complications in advanced stages. Intermittent claudication, a hallmark symptom of PAD, presents as exercise-induced muscle pain that typically resolves within minutes of rest. This pain is reproducible and stems from inadequate blood flow, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid produced during anaerobic...

01:22Rheumatic Heart Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
878
The key clinical manifestations of Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) include several distinct cardiac symptoms.Carditis, a hallmark of acute rheumatic fever, involves inflammation of the heart's endocardium, myocardium, and pericardium. Chronic RHD often results from recurrent episodes of carditis. Its symptoms include the following:Murmurs are caused by valvular damage, especially to the mitral and aortic valves. Mitral stenosis or regurgitation is common, with characteristic heart murmurs...

01:21Rheumatic Heart Disease III: Medical Management
450
Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) management can be divided into two main strategies: prevention and long-term management.Primary PreventionPrimary prevention focuses on timely diagnosis and management of group A streptococcal pharyngitis to prevent acute rheumatic fever. The most widely used antibiotic for treating this condition is intramuscular benzathine penicillin G.Acute Rheumatic Fever TreatmentThe primary treatment goal for a patient diagnosed with acute rheumatic fever is to suppress the...

01:24Nephrotic Syndrome I : Introduction
807
Nephrotic Syndrome is a chronic kidney disorder defined by clinical findings such as severe proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, and edema. These symptoms result from damage to the glomeruli, the kidney’s filtering units, increasing their permeability to proteins.Definition and Meaning:Proteinuria, defined as the loss of more than 3.5 grams of protein per day in adults, is a crucial feature of nephrotic syndrome. This condition is often accompanied by edema, the accumulation of...
