    Abstract Background: Taiwan increased the Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination age from 24 h after birth to 5-8 months of age to lower BCG-related osteitis/osteomyelitis in 2016. However, the sequences of skin changes at the injection site and in the corresponding lymph nodes are unknown for infants vaccinated at an older age.
    Methods: We prospectively collected the photographs of skin reactions within 6 months after vaccination. The type, size, onset time, and duration of the skin reactions were recorded and analyzed.
    Results: We enrolled 532 infants. The types and median times at onset of skin reactions were as follows: erythema at week 1, induration at week 3, ecchymosis at week 4, and ulceration at week 6. The peak skin responses were at week 6, with average sizes of 8.4 mm, 7.4 mm, and 8.2 mm for erythema, induration, and ecchymosis, respectively. The duration of induration was long, with 57.6 % and 23 % of the infants still having a response at week 12 and 24, respectively. The rate of induration size ≥ 20 mm was 1.7 % (95 % confidence interval: 0.8 %-3.2 %). Overall, 46.4 % of the infants experienced ulcerative change, with most occurring at week 6 (34.1 %), and 9.5 % and 4.1 % of the infants still had ulceration at week 12 and 16, respectively. Twelve infants (2.3 %) had spontaneous resolution of regional lymphadenitis, with the onset time ranging from week 1 to 12. All infants had developed a scar at the end of follow-up.
    Conclusion: Our study demonstrates the typical appearance and time courses of skin reactions in infants who received the BCG vaccination at older than 5 months of age. Infants vaccinated at this age may have a more potent skin response with longer induration and ulceration than those vaccinated at birth.

    Abstract Background: A jaundice-predominant presentation of Kawasaki disease (KD) is atypical.
    Methods: A total of 12 children with KD with a predominant manifestation of jaundice at MacKay Children's Hospital were reviewed, along with 42 cases reported in the literature since 1990.
    Results: The median age of the 12 patients was 1.85 years (range: 3 months-4 years), and 66.6% were male. All of the patients had elevated liver function at presentation, 50% had hydrops of the gallbladder, and almost 60% had gastrointestinal symptoms and signs. Complete KD was evident in 11 of the 12 patients (91.7%), and two patients (16.7%) had recurrent episodes. All of the patients received intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG); however, one-third were refractory to treatment. Corticosteroids were used in five (41.7%) of the patients. Three (25%) of the patients had shock, and seven (58.3%) had coronary artery abnormalities, of whom one (8.3%) had persistent coronary artery aneurysm and the others recovered. A review of the 42 cases in the literature showed that the children with a jaundice-predominant presentation of KD had high rates of IVIG-refractory disease (25%), coronary artery abnormalities (25%), shock (13.2%), and corticosteroid treatment (24.2%).
    Conclusions: Children with KD presenting with a jaundice-predominant manifestation are at a higher risk of IVIG-refractory disease, coronary artery abnormalities, and more recurrent episodes. Physicians should be aware of the risk of shock in this population.

    Abstract Background: Marginally low birth weight (MLBW) is defined as a birth weight of 2000 ~ 2499 g. Inconsistent findings have been reported on whether children with low birth weight had higher rates of neurological, attention, or cognitive symptoms. No studies have explored the occurrence of clinically diagnosed psychiatric disorders in term- born MLBW infants. We aimed to investigate the risk of subsequent psychiatric disorders in term-born children with MLBW.
    Methods: This is a nationwide retrospective cohort study, by analysing the data from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database from 2008 to 2018. The study population includes propensity-score-matched term-born infants with MLBW and those without MLBW (birth weight ≥ 2500 g). Cox proportional hazard analysis was used after adjustment for potential demographic and perinatal comorbidity confounders. Incidence rates and hazard ratios (HR) of 11 psychiatric clinical diagnoses were evaluated.
    Results: A total of 53,276 term-born MLBW infants and 1,323,930 term-born infants without MLBW were included in the study. After propensity score matching for demographic variables and perinatal comorbidities, we determined that the term-born MLBW infants (n = 50,060) were more likely to have attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (HR = 1.26, 95% confidence interval (CI) [1.20, 1.33]), autism spectrum disorder (HR = 1.26, 95% CI [1.14, 1.40]), conduct disorder (HR = 1.25, 95% CI [1.03, 1.51]), emotional disturbance (HR: = 1.13, 95% CI [1.02, 1.26]), or specific developmental delays (HR = 1.38, 95% CI [1.33, 1.43]) than term-born infants without MLBW (n = 50,060).
    Conclusion: MLBW was significantly associated with the risk of subsequent psychiatric disorder development among term-born infants. The study findings demonstrate that further attention to mental health and neurodevelopment issues may be necessary in term-born children with MLBW. However, possibilities of misclassification in exposures or outcomes, and risks of residual and unmeasured confounding should be concerned when interpreting our data.

    Abstract Accidental out-of-hospital deliveries (OHDs) are known to have a higher incidence of maternal and neonatal complications. However, neonatal infection related to OHDs has not been studied. The aim of this study was to determine the infection risk of OHDs. This retrospective cohort study enrolled neonates admitted at a children's hospital in an urban setting from January 2004 to December 2017. Accidental OHDs were compared with in-hospital births, and neonatal infection was assessed. This study also investigated both maternal and neonatal risk factors associated with OHDs. A cohort of 158 OHD neonates was enrolled, of whom 29 (23.2%) were preterm. Prematurity and low birth weight were significantly associated with OHD. Eight neonates in the OHD cohort had a documented infection within the first 72 hours of life, which was 11-fold higher than infections documented for the in-hospital births. Multivariate analysis identified low birth weight as the only factor independently associated with increased risk of infection in OHD neonates. Several specific characteristics of mothers with OHDs were identified. Forty-nine (31%) OHD mothers lacked antenatal care, and 10 (6.3%) were unaware of their pregnancies. The OHD group comprised of more teenage mothers compared to the in-hospital deliveries category. Neonatal infection was more prevalent among OHDs than for in-hospital deliveries, and the infection rate was associated with low birth weight. Hospitalization for further care and observation is suggested for the OHD neonates. Social support should be provided for populations with an increased risk of OHD, such as teenage mothers.
