Harlequin fetus: a case report.

The authors report a case of "harlequin fetus" which was brought to their attention. The report was justified not only by the rarity of the disease, but above all because, after having examined the literature on the topic, this appears to be the third case treated with etretinate. The case in question was a female affected by congenital ichthyosis in its total form and by initial necrosis of the extremities. Etretinate treatment gave good results in terms of cutaneous modifications: reduction of hyperkeratosis, disappearance of ectropion and eclabium. Therefore, although the patient died when 16 days old due to sudden renal insufficiency, the case confirms the two previous reports on the value of this therapy.

[Study of serum ferritin in a population of 3-month-old breast feeding children].

The evaluation of serum ferritin level in a population of 30 three months old babies is made by the Authors following a radioimmunological method. The reckoned average values reflect exactly the wellknown elements of iron kinetics during the first months of life. The Authors underline that those values show how complete is breast-feeding; moreover they emphasize the importance of a referring value which, together with those already known in subjects of different ages, allows on early diagnosis of syndromes due to iron decrease and subsequent check-up after therapeutic trial.

[An antioxidant in pediatrics].

The authors review the state of the art regarding vitamin E in relation to its use during childhood. The report comments on a number of aspects which are still not entirely clear and stresses the prophylactic and therapeutic importance of antioxidants, even in pediatrics, and the severe damage that may result from free radicals even during this period of life.
