Borrelia miyamotoi disease (BMD), also known as hard-tick relapsing fever, is an emerging tick-borne illness caused by the bacterium Borrelia miyamotoi. This pathogen is transmitted primarily by Ixodes ticks, also known as deer ticks or black-legged ticks. BMD poses significant public health concerns because of its potential to cause severe hemodynamic and hematologic disturbances, particularly in vulnerable populations such as pregnant individuals. BMD often presents with symptoms like other tick-borne infections, including fever, chills, headache, and muscle aches, but often lacks the characteristic rash seen in Lyme disease and does not typically have a greater-than-24-hour tick attachment period for transmission. A high index of suspicion in the late spring and summer months in the Northern hemisphere is essential for early diagnosis of BMD and treatment to prevent maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality.

Advances in neonatal medicine over the last several decades have led to improvements in survival for the most fragile and critically ill infants. A mainstay of supporting the health needs of hospitalized infants involves use of peripheral intravenous (PIV) catheters to administer medications, parenteral nutrition, and blood products. However, PIV catheters are not without risks and complications such as infiltration and extravasation. While prevention of these complications remains a persistent challenge, a variety of treatment options may be used to reduce or avoid permanent harm. This review summarizes the range of strategies aimed at reducing PIV catheter-associated injuries and their complications.

As more neonatal centers are caring for premature infants at 21-23 weeks' gestational age (GA), a growing need for improved practices related to routine skin care exists. Approach to skin care in this GA is challenging because the skin barrier is not completely formed at this developmental stage, leading to an increased risk of insensible water loss; increased sodium and nutritional requirement; and greater susceptibility to injury, infection, and temperature instability. Effective skin care in this population requires a proactive, standardized, multidisciplinary approach. In this review, we describe an expert and experience-based guide for skin care in this population with a focus on infection prevention, fluid and nutrition management, avoidance of injury, and routine skin care.

Vascular anomalies are broadly classified into 2 categories: vascular tumors and vascular malformations. Vascular anomalies frequently present as cutaneous lesions in infants. This review summarizes vascular anomalies that most commonly present as dermatologic lesions in the neonatal period, with a focus on the clinical findings, pathophysiology and histology, relevant radiographic findings, and management of common vascular anomalies such as infantile hemangiomas, congenital hemangiomas, and Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma, along with vascular malformations, including capillary, lymphatic, venous, and arteriovenous malformations.
