As the COVID-19 pandemic erupted, WHO recommended use of nasopharyngeal or throat swabs for detection SARS-CoV-2 etiology COVID-19. The collection NPS causes discomfort because its invasive procedure.
Abstract Background Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) cause serious complications and fatality. Despite the severity of such magnitude, true burden these remains unclear. In LMICs like Bangladesh, there is a lack surveillance mechanisms to understand IFIs. Candida blankii (C. blankii) an emerging clinical pathogen with first reported human infection in 2014 limited global reports since then. This study aims investigate on C. along other IFIs among hospitalized neonates Bangladesh. Methods...
We aimed to identify clinical predictors of fatal outcome in children under 5 years age having diarrhea and severe sepsis treated the Intensive Care Unit Dhaka Hospital icddr,b from October 2010 through September 2011. Among 191 enrolled children, 70 (37%) died were considered be cases, while remaining 121 (63%) who survived constituted controls. The cases more often had shortness breath (SOB), septic shock, dehydrating compared with controls (for all, P < .05). After adjusting for potential...
Abstract Objective To determine the pathogen‐specific risk of seizure in under‐five children hospitalised with moderate‐to‐severe diarrhoea (MSD) rural settings. Method This was a prospective case–control study follow‐up, conducted sentinel facility Global Enteric Multicenter Study Mirzapur, community Bangladesh between 2007 and 2010. Children aged 0–59 months who presented MSD constituted cases whereas those did not have comprised controls. defined if episodes were associated dehydration or...
Background: Starting on 31 December 2019, from Wuhan City, China, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused a global pandemic by 11 March 2020. Bangladesh detected its first case 8 2020, only 66 days later the detection of in China. We aimed to describe epidemiology, clinical features, laboratory characteristics, and outcomes Bangladeshi COVID-19 patients. Methods: This retrospective chart analysis compared patients with hypoxemia those without treated makeshift unit icddr,b. Results: By...
Malnourished children are more prone to infectious diseases including severe diarrhea compared non-malnourished children. However, data scarce on differences in the presentation such We aimed identify clinical differentials among with cholera or without malnutrition. Data were extracted from diarrheal disease surveillance system (DDSS) of Dhaka Hospital International Centre for Diarrheal Disease Research, Bangladesh (icddr,b) January 2001 December 2020. Among under five DDSS, positive...
Abstract Background After the completion of a randomized trial at Dhaka Hospital in 2013, bubble continuous positive airway pressure (BCPAP) oxygen therapy was incorporated as part standard treatment for children with severe pneumonia hypoxemia an intensive care unit August 2013 instead World Health Organization (WHO) low flow therapy. Objective To understand long‐term effectiveness introduction bCPAP by comparing mortality post‐trial period (August to December 2017) pre‐trial (February 2009...
Introduction Diarrhoea is one of the leading causes under-5 childhood mortality and accounts for 8% 5.4 million global deaths. In severely malnourished children, diarrhoea progresses to shock, where risk even higher. At icddr,b Dhaka Hospital, fatality rate as high 69% in children with severe malnutrition fluid refractory septic shock. To date, no study has evaluated systematically effects inotrope or vasopressor blood transfusion dehydrating (eg, cholera) acute (SAM) underweight who are...
ABSTRACT Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) continues to spread and evolve, giving rise new surges in cases deaths. Although nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) samples are the gold standard for diagnosing SARS-CoV2, NPS sampling is invasive requires skilled staff, specialized transport medium, nucleic acid extraction. The SalivaDirect method uses saliva a simplified, flexible approach overcome these drawbacks. In our study conducted at COVID-19 Screening Unit of Dhaka...

Abstract Background: Malnourished children are more prone to infectious diseases including severe diarrhea compared non-malnourished children. Understanding of the differences in presentation such as cholera with varying nutritional status may help early identification and management these However, data scarce on Thus, we aimed identify clinical differentials among or without malnutrition. Methods: Data were extracted from diarrheal disease surveillance system (DDSS) Dhaka Hospital icddr,b...
Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) are opportunistic, especially in immunocompromised and hospitalized patients. Children with IFIs more vulnerable to a fatal outcome. For early diagnosis treatment, knowledge of the spectrum frequency among children is prerequisite. In this prospective observational study, we enrolled 168 2-59 months old either sex from March 2018 December 2019 admitted Dhaka hospital, icddr,b. Study participants suspected were or without severe acute malnutrition (SAM) along...
Background: Quality of life (QoL) among pediatric sepsis survivors in resource-limited countries is poorly understood. We aimed to evaluate the QoL survivors, by comparing them with non-sepsis three months after hospital discharge. Methodology: In this retrospective chart analysis a case–control design, we compared children having and at admission during their post-hospitalization life, where study population was derived from cohort 405 severely malnourished pneumonia. Results: The median...
