Objective/background: Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection associated with pulmonary and extrapulmonary disease has been increasing globally. Despite an increase in incidence rate of NTM infection, its prevalence, species diversity, circulation pattern India is largely unknown. This study sought to investigate the overall burden diversity among both clinical isolates from a Northern Indian population. Methods: The was conducted Department Microbiology, January 2013 December 2015. A...
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of pediatric death, with >99% mortality occurring in low- and lower middle-income countries. At least half RSV-related deaths are estimated to occur the community, but clinical characteristics this group children remain poorly characterized.The RSV Global Online Mortality Database (RSV GOLD), global registry under-5 who have died illness, describes dying through data sharing. GOLD acts as collaborative platform for deaths, including...
In India, quality surveillance for acute encephalitis syndrome (AES), including laboratory testing, is necessary understanding the epidemiology and etiology of AES, planning interventions, developing policy. We reviewed AES data January 2011-June 2012 from Kushinagar District, Uttar Pradesh, India. Data were cleaned, incidence was determined, demographic characteristics cases analyzed. A total 812 case records identified, which 23% had illogical entries. highest among boys<6 years age,...
ABSTRACT Background: Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) and non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) may or not have same clinical presentations, but the treatment regimens are always different. Laboratory differentiation between MTBC NTM by routine methods time consuming cumbersome to perform. We evaluated role of GenoType® common mycobacteria/additional species (CM/AS) assay for different in isolates from (TB) cases. Materials Methods: A total 1080 specimens were collected January 2010...
Abstract Host-virus associations have co-evolved under ecological and evolutionary selection pressures that shape cross-species transmission spillover to humans. Observed virus-host provide relevant context for newly discovered wildlife viruses assess knowledge gaps in host-range estimate pathways potential human infection. Using models predict networks, we predicted the likelihood of humans as hosts 513 detected by large-scale surveillance at high-risk animal-human interfaces Africa, Asia,...
Influenza A and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) has been recognized as a major cause of acute respiratory tract infection. H1N1 is one the subtypes influenza A, pandemic worldwide in July 2009, causing 18,449 deaths globally. To investigate prevalence clinical manifestation H1N1pdm09, RSV. Throat/nasal swab collected from patients all age group either outpatients/inpatients having illness 2 to 5 days. The data were recorded predesigned questionnaire. RNA was extracted analyzed by real time...
Japanese Encephalitis (JE) has caused repeated outbreaks in endemic pockets of India. This study was conducted Kushinagar, a highly district, to understand the human-animal-ecosystem interactions, and drivers that influence disease transmission. Utilizing ecosystems approach, cross-sectional, descriptive study, employing mixed methods design employed. Four villages (two with pig-rearing two without) were randomly selected from high, medium low burden (based on case counts) block Kushinagar....
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), a mosquito borne pathogen, is one of the major causes viral in eastern Uttar Pradesh, India. The objective this work was to evaluate entomological based virological surveillance (JE) highly endemic area Pradesh.The study carried out during September 2010 March 2013 Gorakhpur district Pradesh. A total 251 adult pools and 64 water samples containing larvae were collected from District Gorakhpur. Water pH, turbidity, oxygen level analyzed for vector breeding...
Abstract The relationships between host immune factors and HIV‐1 disease progression are still in dispute. RANTES SNPs exhibit distinct ethnic distribution associated with different effects on the course of HIV infection. Therefore, impact gene polymorphism transmission needs to be evaluated. genotypes were identified by PCR‐RFLP method confirmed sequencing seronegative (HSN; n = 315), exposed (HES; 47) seropositive (HSP; 196) patients classified into clinical stages (i.e. Stages I, II,...
Abstract Background Diagnosis of amoebic liver abscess (ALA) in patients on anti-amoebic drugs is difficult. There scanty data this issue using Entamoeba histolytica ( E. ) lectin antigen and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). We studied utility antigen, PCR, IgG antibody diagnosis treatment. Liver aspirate 200 patients, which 170 had drug prior to drainage, was tested for by (ELISA), bacterial culture, serum (ELISA). Classification abscesses based result PCR culture. Findings Using 136/200...
