Syphilis is a bacterial disease potentially affecting all organs of the body. The symptoms may appear acutely or chronically over periods of many years, and - if left untreated – the disease may lead to premature death. The transmission of the spirochete (Treponema pallidum) occurs via skin and mucous contacts as well as via blood from mother to fetus. Congenital syphilis is associated with neonatal death or chronic morbidities of the skin, skeleton, brain and many other organs. 

In children, the global burden of vaccines-preventable diseases (VPDs) and deaths can be averted by adopting timely immunization practices. Administering immunization to a child within 28 or 30 days of the designated immunization date is referred to as timely immunization. Besides timely immunization, immunization non-compliance (invalid or delayed or missed immunization) increases the risk of various forms of VPDs and death in children, particularly living in urban slums. 

Introduction: Majocchi granuloma (MG) is a rare infection, generally caused by the dermatophyte Trichophyton rubrum. This disease results from the proliferation of the fungus along the hair follicle into the dermal or subcutaneous tissue, causing suppurative folliculitis. Most affected patients are immunocompromised, but it is not restricted to them. Its evolution is due to prolonged use of topical steroids.

Ptosis or the dropping of an eyelid can affect both the adult and pediatric populations and can be caused by various factors. Ptosis is not very common and in children, the common causes include orbital cellulitis, congenital ptosis, Cranial Nerve III palsy, and Horner’s syndrome.
