Neonatal acne (baby acne, neonatal cephalic pustulosis): a common self-limiting newborn rash affecting about 20% of newborns around 2 weeks of age, linked to Malassezia yeast, not true acne, clearing without scarring.
Neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy
Neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy (NALD), also called intermediate Zellweger spectrum disorder, is an autosomal recessive peroxisome biogenesis disorder (PEX genes, OMIM 202370) marked by hypotonia, leukodystrophy, hearing and vision loss, VLCFA accumulation, and adrenal atrophy.
Neonatal alloimmune neutropenia
Neonatal alloimmune neutropenia (NAIN, also FNAIN) is a rare newborn neutropenia caused by maternal IgG antibodies against paternal human neutrophil antigens (HNA), mainly HNA-1a/1b; self-limiting, incidence below 0.1%, treated with antibiotics and G-CSF.
Neonatal antiphospholipid syndrome
Neonatal antiphospholipid syndrome, also known as Neonatal Hughes syndrome, is a rare autoimmune disorder in which newborns develop venous or arterial blood clots with antiphospholipid antibodies.
Neonatal aspergillosis
Neonatal aspergillosis (ICD-11 KA63.1) is invasive Aspergillus infection of newborns, mainly extremely preterm infants; usually cutaneous, nosocomial, caused by A. fumigatus or A. flavus, treated with liposomal amphotericin B.
Neonatal aspiration syndromes
Neonatal aspiration syndromes (ICD-11 KB26), also called neonatal aspiration of meconium, blood, amniotic fluid, or milk, are newborn lung injuries from aspirated material causing inflammation, surfactant inactivation, respiratory distress, and often PPHN.
Neonatal brainstem dysfunction
Neonatal brainstem dysfunction is a rare neurologic disorder of newborns marked by impaired suction and swallowing, obstructive apnea, medication-resistant gastroesophageal reflux, and cardiac vagal overactivity with bradycardia.
Neonatal candidosis
Neonatal candidosis, or neonatal candidiasis, is Candida infection of newborns, mainly preterm and very low birth weight infants in NICUs. Key species are C. albicans, C. parapsilosis, and emerging C. auris; treated with amphotericin B or fluconazole.
Neonatal cardiac failure
Neonatal cardiac failure (KB40, ICD-11) is heart failure in newborns: insufficient cardiac output for metabolic demands, caused mainly by structural congenital heart disease, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia, anemia, and asphyxia, treated with diuretics, inotropes, mechanical support, or transplantation.
Neonatal cerebral ischaemia
Neonatal cerebral ischaemia (ICD-11 KB00; ICD-10 P91.0) is insufficient cerebral blood flow in newborns, subdivided into perinatal arterial stroke and neonatal sinovenous thrombosis; NAIS causes about 80% of perinatal strokes.
Neonatal cerebral sinovenous thrombosis
Neonatal cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (CSVT) is venous thrombosis of cerebral veins or dural sinuses in newborns, causing seizures and encephalopathy, with 2.6 to 12 cases per 100,000 term neonates yearly and controversial anticoagulation treatment.
Neonatal cold injury syndrome
Neonatal cold injury syndrome (ICD-11 KD12.0) is accidental severe newborn hypothermia below 35°C from cold exposure, causing apathy, poor feeding, edema, and often death; prevented by WHO warm-chain thermal care.
Neonatal compartment syndrome
Neonatal compartment syndrome (NCS, neonatal limb compartment syndrome) is a rare newborn condition of raised pressure in a limb compartment, usually the forearm, marked by a sentinel skin lesion; early fasciotomy gives the lowest sequelae rate.
Neonatal dermatomyositis
Neonatal dermatomyositis (Neonatal DM) is a rare autoimmune disorder of the newborn period causing widespread muscle weakness, severe hypotonia, diminished reflexes, and highly elevated creatine kinase.
Neonatal hemochromatosis
Neonatal hemochromatosis (NH), now largely termed gestational alloimmune liver disease (GALD), is severe neonatal liver failure with extrahepatic iron deposition, caused by maternal IgG against fetal hepatocytes; recurrent but preventable with antenatal IVIG.
Neonatal hydrocephalus
Neonatal hydrocephalus, also called infantile or congenital hydrocephalus, is excess cerebrospinal fluid in a newborn's brain ventricles with raised pressure; causes include prematurity-related hemorrhage, infection, and L1CAM and other genetic forms, treated by shunt or ETV.
Neonatal hypertension
Neonatal hypertension: elevated newborn blood pressure, defined as systolic or diastolic BP at or above the 95th percentile for postmenstrual age on three occasions. Affects 0.2% of term infants, up to 3% in NICU; usually secondary to renal disease, umbilical catheter thrombosis, or chronic lung disease.
Neonatal hypoglycaemia
Neonatal hypoglycaemia, low blood glucose in newborns during the first days of life, affects about 40% of neonates below 2.6 mmol/L; transitional hyperinsulinism, risk screening, dextrose gel treatment, and neurodevelopmental outcomes distinguish it.
Neonatal hypomagnesaemia
Neonatal hypomagnesaemia (ICD-10 P71.2, ICD-11 KB61.0) is a transient newborn disorder with serum magnesium below 0.66 mmol/L, caused by maternal diabetes, prematurity, or renal and intestinal losses, and producing functional hypoparathyroidism and hypocalcemia.
