Neonatal conjunctivitis due to uncommon pathogen Streptococcus mitis/oralis: a case report.
BMC ophthalmology · 2026
Neonatal conjunctivitis (NC), historically attributed to Neisseria gonorrhoeae, is now known to be caused by various pathogens, including Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Chlamydia trachomatis. Although viridans group streptococci are generally regarded as commensal organisms, they may cause opportunistic conjunctival infections. Here, we present a case of NC caused by Streptococcus… Read on PubMed →

Epidemiology and Comorbidity of Vitiligo in Germany: A Claims Data Analysis.
Acta dermato-venereologica · 2026
Vitiligo is a chronic skin disease resulting in destruction of melanocytes and loss of pigmentation. Little is known about epidemiology and comorbidity in Germany. This retrospective cohort analysis used nationwide statutory health insurance data (2016 to 2020). Disease rates were calculated using varying case definitions. Comorbidity was assessed against 3 control groups: persons without… Read on PubMed →
Noninvasive Skin Surface Sampling Identifies Elevated IL-1β and IL-6 in Paediatric Atopic Dermatitis Patients.
Acta dermato-venereologica · 2026
Despite extensive research, the molecular signature in atopic dermatitis (AD) remains underexplored. While previous studies have explored the expressions of pro-inflammatory markers in AD skin using biopsies and tape-stripping techniques, non-invasive sampling from the skin surface in pediatricpaediatric AD patients has not been examined. This study aimed to identify and compare cytokine… Read on PubMed →
Association of breastfeeding with caregiver-reported physician-diagnosed allergies in children: the Japan Environment and Children's Study.
BMC pediatrics · 2026
BACKGROUND: Breastfeeding has been linked to children’s susceptibility to allergic diseases. However, few large epidemiological studies have correlated breastfeeding patterns with the prevalence of allergic diseases in infants. METHODS: Following exclusions from a dataset comprising 104,043 records from the Japan Environment and Children’s Study, participants were divided into four groups based on… Read on PubMed →
Percutaneous laparoscopic-assisted gastrostomy outperforms surgical gastrostomy for temporary feeding in long-gap esophageal atresia: a comparative cohort study.
Pediatric surgery international · 2026
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to compare the clinical efficacy of percutaneous laparoscopic-assisted gastrostomy (PLAG) and surgical gastrostomy (SG) for temporary gastrostomy in neonates with long-gap esophageal atresia (LGEA). METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 41 neonates diagnosed with LGEA who underwent temporary gastrostomy. Patients were retrospectively divided into two groups… Read on PubMed →
Maternal-prenatal gut microbiome-systemic metabolome perturbations and TH2-skewed immunity link to offspring gut microbiome disruption and atopic dermatitis susceptibility.
Genome medicine · 2026
BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence suggests that maternal-prenatal gut microbiome disturbances shape offspring allergic outcomes through modulation of the in utero immune environment. Yet, no comprehensive clinical studies in human mother–offspring dyads have deconvoluted the maternal-prenatal gut microbiome and systemic immune-metabolome signatures underlying offspring allergic predisposition… Read on PubMed →
Maternal Vitamin D Status at Delivery and Allergic Outcomes in Early Adolescence: Prospective Findings from the KLOTHO Birth Cohort.
Nutrients · 2026
BACKGROUND: Prenatal vitamin D exposure has been proposed as a potential determinant of immune development and subsequent allergic disease risk in offspring; however, long-term cohort data remain inconsistent. METHODS: We analyzed data from the KLOTHO birth cohort, including 98 adolescents with available allergic outcome assessment. A maternal-neonatal sub-cohort of mother-child pairs with… Read on PubMed →
Netherton Syndrome in a preterm newborn presenting with erythroderma and temperature instability: a case report.
BMC pediatrics · 2026
BACKGROUND: Neonatal erythroderma has a broad differential and poses a diagnostic challenge due to clinical overlap between diagnoses. Netherton Syndrome, also known as SPINK5-syndromic epidermal differentiation disorder (SPINK5-sEDD), is a genodermatosis caused by mutations in the serine protease inhibitor Kazal-type 5 (SPINK5) gene located on chromosome 5q31–32. The clinical presentation varies… Read on PubMed →
Asthma prevalence and risk factors in early-onset atopic dermatitis using Korean National Health Insurance Service data.
Scientific reports · 2026
Early-onset atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common pediatric allergic disease and a potential precursor of asthma. However, population-based evidence on long-term asthma risk following early AD is scarce. This study assessed age-specific asthma prevalence and risk factors in children diagnosed with AD before age 2 using Korean National Health Insurance Service data. In this retrospective cohort… Read on PubMed →
