Neonatal cholestasis is a rare presenting feature of cystic fibrosis which usually cannot be differentiated from other types of cholestasis. Herein, the authors report a 63 d-old boy with cystic fibrosis presenting with neonatal cholestasis mimicking biliary atresia. A new mutation in CFTR gene resulting in severe phenotype has been described. The cystic fibrosis patients with c.3871 G > T mutation may have acholic gaita mimicking biliary atresia in the absence of insipissated bile with minimal histologic findings in the liver.
Introduction: Childhood poisoning is commonly encountered in pediatric emergency medicine departments. As a result of a violation of the dieffenbachia plant body or parts of the leaves, effects can be seen in a spectrum from mild local irritation to death.Case Report: Here, we report a 1-year, 11-month-old child patient, presenting with local irritation symptoms after violation of dieffenbachia plant leaves, who required supported treatment.
Conclusion:Ornamental plants in our homes should be considered a risk factor for toxicity.
