BACKGROUND The Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine is used to prevent tuberculosis in countries with high rates of tuberculosis. Although the generally low risk, there are reports minor local adverse effects. Rare complications such as abscess formation have been reported immunocompromised and pediatric patients. However, inoculation-site abscesses exceedingly rare immunocompetent adult population, no clear management plan that has agreed upon for these cases. We present a case...
Introduction: Although vaccines are the safest and most effective means to prevent control infectious diseases, increasing rate of vaccine hesitancy refusal (VHR) has become a worldwide concern. We aimed find opinions parents on vaccinating their children contribute available literature in order support fight against by investigating reasons for VHR global scale.
 Methodology: In this international cross-sectional multicenter study conducted Infectious Diseases International Research...
Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder characterized by fluctuating habits, abdominal discomfort, and bloating, without anatomical abnormalities. IBS symptoms are often exacerbated stress.Objective: To assess the prevalence of investigate its association with anxiety levels among medical students in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.Materials Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted colleges Pakhtunkhwa from May to September 2023. A...
Early and accurate laboratory diagnosis appropriate management of infection improves the survival rate in sepsis. In this study we evaluated broad range 16S rRNA 16 S–23 S intergenic spacer region (ISR) PCR assays followed by nucleotide sequencing directly from patients' serum automated blood culture for admitted sepsis patients. A ISR assay was used hospital patients 62 suspected stream (sBSI) Automated also same Nucleotide sequences were analyzed against NCBI Genbank database organisms...
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an emerging gram-negative pathogen that was previously labeled as a colonizer. Nowadays, with multiple antibiotic usage along certain host factors, infections caused by this organism are getting attention. We hereby report two cases of ventilator-associated pneumonia in postoperative infants cardiac intensive care unit (ICU). How to cite article: Baidya A, Kodan P, Fazal F, Tsering S, Menon RP, Jorwal et al. maltophilia: More than Just Colonizer! Indian J Crit...
Mucormycosis is an uncommon aggressive fungal infection usually seen in immunocompromised hosts or patients with burns and trauma. The common presentations include rhino-orbital-cerebral pulmonary involvement. Osteoarticular involvement a rare presentation of this disease. We present two cases osteoarticular mucormycosis pelvis long bones the lower limb, one patient burn injury other chronic granulomatous disease, hitherto rarely reported association. Delayed diagnosis setting where...
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are ubiquitous present in environment and generally affect patients with either structural lung disease or immunosuppression commonly involve lungs, lymph node, skin.Between July 2016 February 2019, 18 cases of NTM were diagnosed their relevant clinical, diagnostic, treatment details recorded after taking informed consent.We report involving lungs (n = 11), skin soft tissue 3), joint 2), genitourinary 1), central nervous system 1). History was two patients,...
The objective of the study was to evaluate clinical profile and outcome patients with secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) in critically ill patients.A prospective observational conducted where adult presenting fever bicytopenia were evaluated according HLH-2004 diagnostic criteria for presence HLH. underlying trigger, profile, treatment, HLH analyzed.Of 76 bicytopenia, 33 (43%) diagnosed following triggers identified: bacterial infections (23%), fungal (10%), viral parasitic...
Abstract Introduction Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) is a type of semi-invasive seen mainly in immunocompetent individuals. These are slow, progressive, and not involved angio-invasion compared with invasive aspergillosis. The predisposing factors being compromised lung parenchyma owing to chronic obstructive disease previous tuberculosis. As many studies have been conducted CPA respect clinical laboratory profile, the study was undertaken examine profile our population. Patients...
Toxic shock syndrome is a rare but potentially lethal toxin-mediated illness that can be caused by streptococcal and staphylococcal species. It initially presents as febrile rapidly progresses to multiorgan dysfunction, hence high index of suspicion coupled with rapid verification the diagnosis aggressive treatment required improve outcome disease. A 23-year-old man presented high-grade fever associated headache, retro-orbital pain, gastroenteritis gum bleeds. Treatment was initiated keeping...
Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infected individuals can either be due to the disease itself or associated infections/malignancies. The treatment for HLH requires immunosuppressive therapy but administering an already immunosuppressed patient (HIV infection) is complex. We present two such cases of patients with HIV. In first case, no alternate cause was found even after extensive investigations and it attributed uncontrolled HIV replication....
Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) are the backbone of effective anti-retroviral therapy in developing world. Efavirenz is current NNRTI choice due to reports higher incidence serious adverse events with nevirapine. Majority patients Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection India still on nevirapine based therapy. The aim study was evaluate need shifting these efavirenz A cross-sectional conducted adult patients, who were regimen for more than one year good...
Abstract Background Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening hyperinflammatory condition diagnosed by HLH 2004 criteria. This criterion has common clinical and laboratory features with sepsis tropical fevers, but there marked difference in management outcome of these two entities. The study conducted to know whether any the clinico-laboratory features, management, or without secondary HLH. Methods prospective observational where patients presenting bicytopenia are...
We report a case of combined fungal infection with and aspergillus mucormycosis in kidney transplant recipient. Though infections are common solid organ cases, two fungi not commonly reported. This describes one such patient, Awareness is essential management patients.
