Fungal endocarditis is a rare disease in infants, but it has been reported with increasing frequency among premature infants requiring neonatal intensive care. Congenital heart disease, prolonged intravenous catheterization, the use of intravenous alimentation, broad-spectrum antibiotics administration and narcotic addiction are risk factors. Candida endocarditis is an unusual but severe complication of systemic candidiasis. Its occurrence has been related to...

Short rib-polydactyly syndrome(SRPS) is a rare type of skeletal dysplasia characterized by short limb dysplasia, thoracic hypoplasia, polydactyly and multiple visceral anomalies. It is transmitted as a autosomal recessive trait. There have been 4 classic types of SRPS, of which Saldino-Noonan type is the most common, and is characterized by very narrow thorax, short limb, postaxial polydactyly, striking metaphyseal dysplasia...
