Do dense vitreous hemorrhages predict poor visual and neurological prognosis in infants with shaken baby syndrome?
The presence of dense vitreous hemorrhage in infants with shaken baby syndrome has a poor visual prognosis, due to the frequent concomitant occurrence of significant retinal and visual cortical pathology. In contrast, infants with only intraretinal or subhyaloid hemorrhage tend to have a much better prognosis, with less disruption of both intraocular and intracranial structures.
Our findings suggested that several pleurocidin congeners had the antimicrobial effect against Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sanguinis and Streptococcus sobrinus.
