Consultant for Pediatricians Vol 6 No 5

This 7-year-old boy was brought in for a routine well-child visit. His history included profound sensorineural hearing loss, (for which he had received cochlear implants) and congenital heart disease (a small ventricular septal defect, subaortic ridge, right ventricular conduction delay, and mild left ventricular dilatation).

This 20-month-old patient with eczema has had a flare during the past week.

I enjoyed Drs Olivera and Lasser's recent "Case In Point" involving an 18-year-old with varicella-zoster virus (VZV) meningitis1 and found the case and illustrations informative and interesting.
