Severe Acute Respiratory Infection

BACKGROUND: SARI is one of the clinical manifestations of COVID-19 disease. As per WHO SARI is dened as an acute respiratory infection with a history of fever or measured fever of ≥ 38 C°; and cough with onset within the last 10 days and requires hospitalization. AIMS/OBJECTIVES: To describe clinical characteristics and factors associated with the clinical outcome of patients presenting with SARI at our hospital. METHODOLOGY: This is a record-based cross-sectional study that included all cases admitted in the SARI ward in Government Stanley Hospital, a tertiary care center in Chennai designated for the management of case denition and screened for SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 between 15th March 2020 and 15th December 2020.RESULTS:Atotal of 246 patients were included in the study period from 15th March to 15th May 2020. The median age was 49.4 years and 56.9% were males. The most common symptom was fever (69.1%) followed by cough (62.6% ), Breathlessness (62.6%), and sore throat (52.8%) in our study. Of this 4 (1.8%) were tested positive for COVID-19. Of the 5 (2.1 %) patients who expired. CONCLUSION: In our single-center tertiary the incidence of COVID-19 among the SARI patients done between March-May 2020 showed an incidence rate of 1.8%

Background: the present study was under taken to determine the role of CA-125 in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis (AA), to prevent its complications and also in preventing negative appendicectomies in tertiary care hospital. Methods: The study was conducted at a tertiary care and research center between 01/03/2018 to 30/06/2019. Patients admitted to the surgery department with diagnosis of AA were considered for the study. After informed consent, a, standardized history was obtained as a case Performa. Serum samples from all the cases with clinical diagnosis of AA were obtained and stored. Only the cases with histopathologically approved AA were included in the study. Cases operated for clinical diagnosis of AA, but not histopathologically proven AA was not included in the study. CA125 levels in cases with definitive diagnosis of AA were measured. Results: In present study, ROC curve analysis revealed the sensitivity of 87.27 % and specificity of 90.91 % when the CA 125 cut-off value of > 16.8 was taken to diagnose acute appendicitis. AUC was 0.911 with a standard error of 0.0292. Conclusion: In this study we have observed that CA125 showed a positive correlation with acute appendicitis, that was statistically not significant (P>0.05). We didn’t evaluate the correlation with the disease severity. We consider that CA125 can be used as a marker in acute appendicitis cases although further research is still needed.
