Multiple neonatal staphylococcal cold abscesses of the large folds

Abstract

Disseminated neonatal staphylococcal infections with a benign evolution are not commonly described in the medical literature. Clinically, cold inflammatory abscesses of the large folds associated with omphalitis may correspond to either transient bacteriemia well controlled in an immunocompetent host or more likely a local contamination process.

Methotrexate and melanoma‐specific mortality

“…Dear Editor, Huber et al 1 previously reported three cases of a benign neonatal skin abscess named multiple neonatal staphylococcal cold abscesses of the large skin folds (MNSCAs). Such cases have not been reported since to our knowledge.…”

“…Gender, age and Psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) of our study population are comparable to registry data. 1 Adalimumab was administered according to the manufacturer's instructions. 10-15 mg/week methotrexate was usually administered subcutaneously and followed by folic acid substitution.…”

Asymptomatic nodules in body folds of a newborn

“…1 There are few described cases, most appearing around the tenth day of life as multiple symmetrically distributed nodules in cutaneous folds. 1,2 The pathogenesis of MNSCA remains unknown, although several possible mechanisms can be postulated. The distribution of these nodules in skin overlying regional lymph nodes has led some authors to suggest the primary lesion could be an adenitis.…”

Multiple Subcutaneous Abscesses by MSSA Related to Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter Infection in an Extremely Low Birth Weight Infant

“…S. aureus bacterial sepsis, our case is different from previous reports 2) . S. aureus commonly causes superficial or subcutaneous abscesses and is known as an important microorganism causing neonatal sepsis 3) . PICC placement is associated with the known risk of local infection at the PICC insertion site and sepsis caused by S. aureus or S. epidermidis 4) .…”
