    (Ann Trop Paediatr, 2014) Elkıran, Özlem; Koçak, Gülendam; Karakurt, Cemşit; Kuzucu, C.
    A 3-month-old girl presented with myocarditis owing to brucellosis. Her mother had been diagnosed with brucellosis at 28 weeks gestation but did not receive treatment until after delivery. The infant had intrauterine retardation and had gained little weight since birth. It is considered likely that the brucellosis was transmitted transplacentally.

    Outbreak of adenovirus serotype 8 conjunctivitis in preterm infants in a neonatal intensive care unit
    (W B Saunders Co Ltd, 2012) Ersoy, Y.; Otlu, B.; Turkcuoglu, P.; Yetkin, F.; Aker, S.; Kuzucu, C.
    Background: Adenovirus keratoconjunctivitis outbreaks have rarely been reported in preterm infants. An outbreak of adenovirus conjunctivitis occurred between 15 January and 25 February at a neonatal intensive care unit of a university hospital in Turkey. Aim: To describe the evolution, investigation and management of the outbreak. Methods: Adenovirus type 8 was identified in 14 samples by polymerase chain reaction analysis. A case-control study was performed to determine the risk factors. Findings: Fifteen preterm neonates, five healthcare workers (HCWs) and four parents suffered from conjunctivitis signs such as lacrimation, swelling and redness of the eye. A retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) examination was found to be the most important risk factor for adenovirus conjunctivitis (odds ratio: 17.5; 95% confidence interval: 1.9-163.0; P=0.012). The eyelid speculum (blepharostat) used during the ROP examination was not sterilized between each patient and was found to be the cause of contamination. Conclusion: The outbreak was controlled by measures such as barrier precautions, hand hygiene, sterilization of the blepharostat, suspending patient transfer to other units, and excluding infected HCWs for at least 15 days.
