nfant botulism is the most common form of human botulism in the United States. Most cases are caused by toxin types A and B, which are treated with Human Botulism Immune Globulin Intravenous (BIG-IV; BabyBIG ® ). We present the case of a 10-day-old male with rapidly progressive paralysis and respiratory failure who was diagnosed with botulism caused by Clostridium baratii toxin type F, a rare form of botulism with poorly defined sources. BIG-IV has no demonstrated efficacy against this serotype of botulism. While the young age, rapid onset of symptoms, and severe presentation are consistent with other reported cases of toxin type F infant botulism, this case is interesting due to improvement with the administration of pyridostigmine and treatment with equine-derived heptavalent botulism antitoxin (HBAT), which has been rarely used in the treatment of infant botulism. This report adds to the literature on the efficacy and safety profile of HBAT administration in infants. Furthermore, this case report suggests that healthcare providers should be aware of the possibility of botulism caused by Clostridium baratii toxin type F in an infant presenting with sudden onset of paralysis and consider early treatment with equine-derived HBAT.

Background: Hemangiomas are the most common soft-tissue tumors affecting neonates and rarely lead to complications. Objectives: Assess cost-effectiveness of managing infantile hemangiomas via Telehealth (TH) versus in-person (IP) visits. Methods: Patients with vascular anomalies were assumed to be in 1 of 3 states: infantile hemangioma, nonserious condition, or serious condition. Decision models were constructed for initial and long-term cost of care for patients with infantile hemangiomas. Management was defined as initial visit at 3 months of age with follow-up visits every 3 months until 15 months of age. Reimbursement values were extracted from Medicare data and economic estimates of indirect costs. The expected value of patient visits were calculated in the model, and the lower expected cost was considered optimal. Expected values were calculated under two perspectives: a patient/ payer perspective and a “societal” (patient/payer/provider) perspective, the former assuming TH and IP visits would be equally reimbursed, and the latter incorporating the estimated cost saving arising from lower overhead costs. Deterministic sensitivity analysis was conducted to assess the most salient model inputs. Results: After accounting for increased risk of misdiagnosis and serious conditions, from a patient (payer) perspective, TH was associated with $10.26 cost savings for initial visit, and $51.30 through complete treatment course. From societal perspective TH saved $55.26 initially and $276.30 through complete course. Thus, in comparison to IP, TH is associated with 3.89% and 18.01% cost savings from the payer and societal perspectives, respectively. Conclusion: The use of TH for management infantile hemangioma proved to be cost effective.

There are many variations in newborn head shape after delivery, some of which are suggestive of underlying abnormalities warranting further evaluation while others are normal variations that will resolve with time. It is imperative that clinicians can distinguish among physical exam findings of the newborn head to guide management and decision making. The focus of this paper is to discuss a rare, but benign, variant of the newborn head shape known as bathrocephaly.
