Pleural effusion is a common problem in our country, and most of these patients need invasive tests as they can’t be evaluated by blood alone. The simplest them diagnostic pleural aspiration, techniques such medical thoracoscopy are being performed more frequently than ever before. However, physicians India treat empirically, leading to delays diagnosis, misdiagnosis complications from wrong treatments. This situation must change, the adoption evidence-based protocols urgently needed....

Abstract Patients with immunodeficiency are at an increased risk of recurrent COVID‐19 infection. They may lack the natural immune response that usually confers long‐lasting immunity. Here, we present our experience managing one such patient, who had a infection twice, 5 months apart. He positive SARS‐CoV‐2 real‐time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) and computed tomography (CT) thorax classical findings on both occasions. multiple negative RT‐PCR tests two CT scans...

The prevalence of pulmonary embolism (PE) among COVID-19 infections is significantly high. However, in resource-limited settings, appropriate computed tomography (CT) imaging not possible for all patients. Very sick patients suspected a PE may be fit to shifted the CT room. Hence, it likely that underdiagnosed Indian Coexisting should considered with influenza-like illnesses who have Type 1 respiratory failure out proportion severity COVID- 19 radiology. In this case series, we discuss...
Patients who have features of both Asthma & COPD are now known as overlap (ACO). Prevalence ACO based on the Global Initiative for (GINA) and initiative obstructive lung disease (GOLD) Syndromic Approach is scarce. In this cross-sectional observational study, we recruited physician-diagnosed-pAsthma, pCOPD pACO by simple random sampling. Clinical features, spirometry, 6-min walk test, Serum Immunoglobulin E, % blood eosinophils chest x-rays were reviewed. approach was applied, diagnosis...
Background and Objectives: Asthma-COPD-overlap (ACO), as a single entity, has been widely contested over the past few years. Most ACO diagnostic criteria do not agree with each other when applied to respiratory patients. From 2016 2020, GINA described syndromic approach for diagnosing ACO, which was replaced broader after 2021. We intended learn if CSMA Screening tool agreed clinical diagnosis of ACO. Methods: performed retrospective cross-sectional analysis inpatients from 2014 2019....
Background: Bacterial pneumonia and other invasive bacterial diseases (IBDs) are leading causes of morbidity mortality in under-five children globally. Common etiological agents include Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) Neisseria meningitidis. Vaccination against Hib is already covered the national immunization program (NIP) India a phased introduction Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV-13) was started 2017. Towards understanding trends common etiologies...
