Background Hymenoptera sting is a common health hazard in the tropics. Wasp and Bee stings can produce symptoms ranging from local allergic reactions to serious complications including anaphylaxis and multiple organ dysfunction syndromes.Objective To evaluate the clinical profile, management and early outcome of patients with gallbladder cancer.Methods We prospectively analyzed all the consecutive patients with Hymenopterid sting (Wasp and Bee stings), who were admitted in Nephrology Unit in college of Medical Sciences Teaching hospital over a period of two year; from June 2010 to May 2012. Data including demographic profile, clinical profile, complications and outcomes associated with the Hymenopterid stings were entered in a designated profroma and were analyzed.Results A total of 15 cases with Hymenopterid stings (Wasp and Bee stings) were analyzed. Majority of the cases were females (n=8). The male to female ratio was 0.88. The mean age of the case was 37.1± 17.38years. Most of the cases (n=11) were younger subjects d"45 years and majority of them felt in the age group of 21-30 years; (n=4). Mean number of stings (Wasp or Bee stings), were 46 ± 18.4 (12-74) and the mean time to reach the hospital from the bite time was 78.23±82.24 hours (30 minutes-13 days). Black Wasps were the commonest species to inflict the stings in (n=10) cases and Bees in (n=5) cases. The Hymenoptera stings were observed more frequently in the month of July to September in (n=8). The commonest site of bite was head and face seen in (n=11) cases. Among the clinical presentations the commonest clinical presentation was local burning pain and pruritus which was present in all the cases (n=15) followed by nausea (n=10). The commonest clinical sign was bipedal edema which was seen in (n=7) cases. Low Hb (defined as Hb <10gm/dl) was seen in (n=5) cases of Hymenopterid stings. Low platelet (defined as Platelet < 100X109/L) was documented in (n=10) cases. Serum creatinine >1.5mg /dl was seen in (n=7) cases. Low serum albumin (defined as Serum Albumin (<3.5gm/dl) was seen in (n=6) cases. Among the complications, the most common complication was Hepatitis which was seen in (n=9) cases, followed by Acute Kidney Injury. There was no mortality associated with Hymenopterid stings in our study. However 1 patient left against medical advice.Conclusion Black Wasps were the commonest species to inflict the stings in (n=10) cases. The most common complication of Hymenoptera sting was Hepatitis, which was seen in (n=9) of cases, followed by Acute Kidney Injury. Majority of complications were seen in Wasp stings which caused significant morbidity. No mortality was observed in our study except one case; that left hospital against medical advice.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a syndrome associated with high morbidity, mortality and high hospital costs. Despite its adverse clinical and economic effects, only a few studies have reported reliable estimates on the incidence of AKI in sub-Sahara Africa. We assessed the incidence and associated factors of AKI among medical and surgical patients admitted to a tertiary hospital in Ghana. Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted among one hundred and forty-five (145) consecutive patients admitted to the medical and the surgical wards at the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital (CCTH), Cape Coast, Ghana from April 2017 to April 2018. Socio-demographic and clinical information were collected using structured questionnaires. AKI was diagnosed and staged with the KDIGO guideline, using admission serum creatinine as baseline kidney function. Results: The mean age of the study participants was 46.6±17.7 years, whilst the male:female ratio was 68:77. The overall incidence of AKI among the participants was 15.9% (95% CI: 10.33 – 22.84%). Stage 1 AKI occurred in 56.5% of the par- ticipants, whilst stages 2 and 3 AKI respectively occurred among 4.1% and 2.8% of respondents. About 20% of the partic- ipants in the medical ward developed AKI (n= 15) whilst 12% of those in surgical ward developed AKI (n= 8). Among the participants admitted to the medical ward, 60.0%, 26.7% and 13.3% had stages 1, 2 and 3 AKI respectively. Whilst 50.0%, 25.0% and 25.0% respectively developed stages 1, 2 and 3 AKI in the surgical ward. Medical patients with AKI had hyper- tension (40%), followed by liver disease (33.3%); 37.5% of surgical inpatients had gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. Conclusion: The incidence of AKI is high among medical and surgical patients in-patients in the CCTH, Ghana, with hy- pertension and liver disease as major comorbidities.

Background. Acute kidney injury in adults is a common cause of hospitalization, associated with high morbidity and mortality especially in developing countries. In spite of RRT the in-hospital mortality rates remain high even in the developed countries. Though a proportion of our patients receive renal replacement therapy as part of their management, data on outcomes are sparse. Study Objective. To determine the clinical outcomes of dialysis-treated AKI in our hospital. Methods. A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of all adult AKI patients treated with haemodialysis at the University of Teaching Hospital during an interrupted six-year period was conducted. Analysis was done using SPSS version 17.0. Results. 34 males and 28 females with mean age of 41.3 ± 18.5 years were studied. The leading causes of AKI were sepsis (22.7%), acute glomerulonephritis (20.5%), acute gastroenteritis (15.9%), and toxic nephropathies (11.4%) and presented with mean e-GFR of 14.7±5.8 mls/min/1.73 m2. Of the 62 patients, 29 (46.8%) were discharged from the hospital, 27 (43.5%) died in hospital, while 6 (9.7%) absconded from treatment. Survivors had better Rifle grade than those who died (P<0.001). Conclusion. Hospital mortality rate of dialysis-treated AKI patients is high and the severity of renal damage at presentation may be an important factor.
