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 ...
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 ...
Three types of myasthenic symptoms in children can be distinguished: [49] Transient neonatal myasthenia gravis occurs in 10 to 15% of babies born to mothers afflicted with the disorder, and disappears after a few weeks. Congenital myasthenia, the rarest form, occurs when genes are present from both parents.

Mood symptoms in individuals with FXS rarely meet diagnostic criteria for a major mood disorder as they are typically not of sustained duration. [29] Instead, these are usually transient and related to stressors, and may involve labile (fluctuating) mood, irritability, self-injury and aggression. [citation needed]
Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAITP, NAIT, NATP or NAT) is a disease that affects babies in which the platelet count is decreased because the mother's immune system attacks her fetus' or newborn's platelets. A low platelet count increases the risk of bleeding in the fetus and newborn.
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 ...
