title: [Iatrogenic Cushing syndrome in infants. Report of a case with dwarfism].
abstract: We report a case of iatrogenic Cushing syndrome with dwarfism (-6 SD) in an eight-month-old infant. The respective role of exposure to corticosteroids in utero (the mother took 30 mg prednisolone per day throughout pregnancy) and postnatally (oral prednisolone, prednisolone in breast milk, and betamethasone cream) is discussed. Two other features are pointed out, i.e. presence of a food allergy and favorable outcome under hydrocortisone therapy.
