Abstract Introduction Herpetic whitlows in infants are rare. Previous authors only reported individual case reports. We present a case series of six infants. Materials and Methods This is a retrospective study of six cases of herpetic whitlows in infants seen by the senior author (MMA) over the past 23 years (1995–2017 inclusive). The following data were collected: age, sex, digit involved in the hand, mode of transmission, time of presentation to the author, clinical appearance, presence of secondary bacterial infection, presence of other lesions outside the hand, method of diagnosis, treatment, and outcome. Results All six infants initially presented with classic multiple vesicles of the digital pulp. In all cases, there was a history of active herpes labialis in the mother. Incision and drainage or deroofing of the vesicles (for diagnostic purposes) resulted in secondary bacterial infection. Conclusion The current report is the first series in the literature on herpetic whitlows in infants. We stress on the mode of transmission (from the mother) and establishing the diagnosis clinically. In these cases, no need for obtaining viral cultures or polymerase chain reaction; and no medications are required. Once the vesicles are disrupted, secondary bacterial infection is frequent and a combination of oral acyclovir and intravenous antibiotics will be required.

Corneal Tomography

Purpose: Ocular features of Alport syndrome include anterior lenticonus, posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy, and fleck-and-dot retinopathy in most cases. Keratoconus in such patients has been rarely mentioned in previous studies. To our knowledge, this is the first report of corneal cross-linking for halting the progression of keratoconus in a patient with Alport syndrome. Case report: A 22-year-old male was referred for his initial corneal topography, after he was already prescribed with rigid gas-permeable contact lenses. Alport syndrome was diagnosed in his infancy and gene COL4A5 mutation was confirmed. Ophthalmological evaluation confirmed keratoconus. One-year follow-up showed a progression on his right eye and standard corneal cross-linking was performed. Stabilization of the disease marked by normalization in visual function and corneal tomography values was noticed 1 year after the procedure. Conclusions: When diagnosing ocular clinical findings of Alport syndrome, keratoconus should be considered. Standard corneal cross-linking protocol can halt its progression.

The records of all children who received smallpox vaccination in a large comprehensive care clinic were reviewed for complications. There were 944 vaccinations performed during 1968. Of these, 539 were primary vaccinations, 32 on children in the age group less than 1, and 517 on children in the age group 1 to 4. There were nine complications observed, all in children in the age group 1 to 4. Five of these complications were generalized erythematous urticarial eruptions, three were auto-inoculations, and one was a secondary bacterial infection at the site of vaccination.

Herpetic Gingivostomatitis

Dr. Alan M. Polson's article on gingival and periodontal problems in children was most informative.1 However, I found the last sentence somewhat puzzling, i.e., "Antibiotics are a help in preventing secondary infection." I wonder if the author could (1) provide evidence to substantiate his suggestion that secondary bacterial infection occur with acute herpetic gingivostomatitis and (2) substantiate his claim that antibiotics prevent such a complication?
