We present a dysmorphic syndrome in eight males of the same family (four brothers, three cousins and one uncle) that is characterised by: mental retardation, facial dysmorphia, abnormal growth of teeth, skin dimple at the lower back, clinodactyly, patella luxation, malformation of lower limbs, abnormalities of the fundus of the eye and subcortical cerebral atrophy. These physical defects do not correspond to any previously described syndrome, which suggests that it is a new syndrome. According to the model of heredity this syndrome could be due to a mutant gene situated in the X‐chromosome.
Chryseobacterium indologenes is a Gram-negative bacteria rarely pathogenic in humans that can produce serious infections, especially, in children with comorbidities. Only a few cases of bacteremia have been published by C. indologenes, the majority in Taiwan. We show a Spanish healthy 2-month-old baby, who was diagnosed with this germ at our hospital, to report on the serious infections that it can cause and the multiple drug resistance to antibiotics that it shows.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
