As a visiting nurse, I saw a week old newborn with a rash that reminded me of
impetigo and advised mom to take her to the doctor. It turned out to be some
kind of rare genetic or chromosomal syndrome that would soon manifest in a
skin condition that was very extensive. I'm sorry I can't remember the name
of the condition, but it is very rare, and I do remember that it has something
to do with a mosaic chromosome "thing". This mom also reported bad smelling
stools. Any help from the pediatricians out there? Mary-Jane, in Pittsfield,
