Background: From 2019 to 2021, the world was caught in grappling clutches of novel coronavirus, claiming almost 6.9 million lives, thus adding burden on healthcare system. Aim: We aim determine rate co-infections COVID-19-affected individuals, describe their characteristics, and compare mortality rates. Methods: Patients admitted with COVID-19 pneumonia between June 2020 March 2021 who tested positive were identified from hospital RT-PCR records, data collected using information The primary...
Objective: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) causes multiorgan dysfunction due to hyperinflammation, dysregulated immune response and cytokine storm. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of inflammatory biomarkers, including neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), have been investigated. The aim this study is assess correlation systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) ferritin percentage (FLPR) with among patients severe COVID-19. Methods: This retrospective observational was conducted...
Accurate diagnosis of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is required to avoid the risk acute hemolysis associated with 8-aminoquinoline treatment. The performance BinaxNOW G6PD test compared quantitative spectrophotometric analysis activity was assessed in 356 Plasmodium vivax- infected subjects Brazil, Peru, Thailand, and India. In assay, median 8.81 U/g hemoglobin (range = 0.05–20.19), 11 (3%) identified as deficient. Sensitivity detect deficient 54.5% (6 11), specificity...
Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between computed tomography pulmonary artery obstruction index and parameters functional lung impairment in acute embolism, establish value these prognosticating right ventricular dysfunction 30-day mortality. Methods This included 322 consecutive patients (mean age 45.6 ± 13.2 years, 46.9% male) with free other cardiopulmonary disease, who underwent angiography. Correlations arterial CO2, O2, alveolar-arterial oxygen...
The pattern of bleeding tendencies in dengue and its corellation with platelet count other factors requires clarification.A retrospective study on adults counts less than 100,000 per mm(3) was conducted. Factors associated were analyzed. cohort grouped as severe thrombocytopenia when < 50,000/mm(3) moderate if 50,000-100,000/mm(3) RESULTS: A total 638 patients formed the cohort. 24.1% prevalence observed. Prior anti-platelet drug intake, 70,000/mm(3), international normalized ratio > 2.0,...
Background/Aim: Strict glycaemic control delays the onset as well progression of diabetes related microvascular complications. The major roadblock in achieving target glycated haemoglobin (HbA 1 c) and blood glucose levels is hypoglycaemia. aim this study was to assess clinical characteristics outcomes hypoglycaemia type 2 mellitus (T2DM) hospitalised patients. Methods: This an observational done for nine months T2DM patients who had documented (blood < 70 mg/ dL) during hospital stay....
Background: Arterial and venous thrombosis is one of the major complications coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. Studies have not assessed difference in D-dimer levels between patients who develop those do not. Methods: Our study retrospectively all virus confirmed hospitalized May to September, 2020. Patients were divided into three groups: group 1 with normal < 0.5 g/mL, 2 elevation up six folds, 3 more than six-fold elevation. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS software...

Increase in the incidence of drug resistance and association with HIV has led to a resurgence tuberculosis. However, tubercular arteritis continues remain rare entity prelidection for thoracic aorta. We report ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm patient already on treatment disseminated tuberculosis who underwent successful surgical repair also review literature pertaining this entity.
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), a clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorder, arises from the increased sensitivity of red blood cells (RBC) to complement due an acquired deficiency certain glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked proteins, resulting in chronic intravascular hemolysis, arterial and venous thrombotic phenomena, multi-organ damage, failure. We present intriguing case hemolytic anemia, initially suspected be drug-induced, later found associated with PNH, despite being...
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), often caused by a parathyroid adenoma, is rare but important cause of hypercalcemia. Though PHPT typically presents with symptoms bone pain, kidney stones, and gastrointestinal disturbances, it can occasionally lead to acute pancreatitis. Hypercalcemia-induced pancreatitis, while uncommon, diagnostic challenge due its non-specific overlapping causes. We report the case 60- year-old female who presented persistent epigastric pain ,vomiting loss apetite for...
Melioidosis is caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, a Gram-negative, saprophytic bacillus, commonly found in soil or contaminated water. As infection with this bacterium produces wide variety of clinical manifestations the organism aptly called 'great mimicker'. Even though it non-fastidious and an easily cultivable organism, can be misidentified automated identification systems.A 24-year-old primigravida presented complaints fever myalgia 45 days' duration. She was diagnosed to have...
Diabetics who develop severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2) are more likely to have disease, higher odds of intensive care requirement and mortality. Fifteen percent patients new onset hyperglycemia. We studied the comparative outcomes between prior DM, newly detected hyperglycemia assessed role secondary sepsis on RWe performed a r etrospective study confirmed SARS-CoV-2 at tertiary hospital in Chennai, India. Patients were divided as groups (Group 1: With preexisting...
Presentation of Aspergillus infections the lung is varied. Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) one such presentation in which there hypersensitivity reaction to antigens. It occurs commonly asthmatics and patients with cystic fibrosis. We report a case ABPA 55-year-old male initially evaluated for left cancer who had never been diagnosed asthma.
Accurate identification of low-risk patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) who may be eligible for outpatient treatment or early discharge can have substantial cost-saving benefit. The purpose this study was to derive and validate a prediction model effectively identify PE at low risk short-term mortality, right ventricular dysfunction, other nonfatal outcomes. This analyzed data from 400 consecutive PE. We derived internally validated our rule based on clinically significant variables...
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the outcome and mortality predictors of SARS-CoV-2 infection requiring hospitalization among elderly population. Methods: In this retrospective study, hospitalized people with virologically confirmed were evaluated. Participants divided into three groups mild, moderate, severe based on oxygenation. The primary was death or discharge home. Results: A total 169 patients studied (mean age: 68 years). Apart from respiratory symptoms, other reported symptoms...
Dear Editor, Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes adverse outcomes in those with prior medical comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, obesity, chronic kidney disease, and the elderly.[1] Global registries EULAR–COVID-19 database COVID-19 Rheumatology Alliance aim to share of SARS-CoV-2 infection rheumatological disorders.[2] However, there is a lack data from South Asia. Patients rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have higher risk, due disease process...
