Rare. Transient neonatal myasthenia gravis, i.e., TNMG (also termed neonatal myasthenia gravis [1] ), and its more severe form, fetal acetylcholine receptor inactivation syndrome (i.e., FARIS), is one of the various types of myasthenia gravis (i.e., MG). [2] MG is an autoimmune disease in which individuals form antibodies that circulate in ...
[9] [10] Babies of mothers with myasthenia may have symptoms during their first few months of life, known as neonatal myasthenia [1] or more specifically transient neonatal myasthenia gravis. [11] Diagnosis can be supported by blood tests for specific antibodies, the edrophonium test , electromyography (EMG), or a nerve conduction study .
Transient myeloproliferative disease develops and may be of concern in fetuses. Features in a review of 39 reported fetal cases include: reduced platelet production often accompanied by significantly reduced levels of circulating platelets; reduced red blood cell production sometimes accompanied by mild anemia; increased levels of circulating megakaryoblasts and white blood cells; grossly ...
Frequency. ~2% (children) [ 3] Strabismus is a vision disorder in which the eyes do not properly align with each other when looking at an object. [ 2] The eye that is pointed at an object can alternate. [ 3] The condition may be present occasionally or constantly. [ 3] If present during a large part of childhood, it may result in amblyopia, or ...
Pediatrics. Transient tachypnea of the newborn is a respiratory problem that can be seen in the newborn shortly after delivery. It is caused by retained fetal lung fluid due to impaired clearance mechanisms. [ 1] It is the most common cause of respiratory distress in term neonates. [ 2][ 3] It consists of a period of tachypnea (rapid breathing ...
H&E stain. Specialty. Pediatrics. Intrauterine hypoxia (also known as fetal hypoxia) occurs when the fetus is deprived of an adequate supply of oxygen. It may be due to a variety of reasons such as prolapse or occlusion of the umbilical cord, placental infarction, maternal diabetes (prepregnancy or gestational diabetes) [ 1] and maternal smoking.
Signs and symptoms. Individuals with TEC have a median age of presentation of 18–26 months; however, the disorder may occur in infants younger than 6 months and in children as old as age 10 years. Because of the gradual onset of the anemia, children are often healthier than expected from their low hemoglobin levels. [citation needed]
Neonatal conjunctivitis is a form of conjunctivitis (inflammation of the outer eye) which affects newborn babies following birth. It is typically due to neonatal bacterial infection, although it can also be non-infectious (e.g. chemical exposure). [ 1] Infectious neonatal conjunctivitis is typically contracted during vaginal delivery from ...
