Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pediatric Pathology

Background:

  • Neonatal noma is a rare, severe condition characterized by orofacial gangrene and sepsis in infants.
  • It presents a high mortality rate, demanding prompt recognition and management.

Observation:

  • A 35-week preterm infant with intrauterine growth retardation presented with sepsis.
  • Oral mucosal ulcers, indicative of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, were observed.

Findings:

  • The infant's lesions healed, but resulted in significant cicatricial sequelae.
  • These included tooth sequestration and retraction of perimandibular soft tissues.

Implications:

  • This case underscores Pseudomonas aeruginosa as a potential pathogen in neonatal noma.
  • Understanding the long-term sequelae is crucial for comprehensive infant care and follow-up.
