SUMMARY Objectives: The study aim was to describe clinical and paraclinical characteristics of Chlamydia trachomatis pneumonia in children under 6 months of age at National Children’s Hospital. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 71 cases of C. trachomatis pneumonia in Respiratory Department, National Children’s Hospital between 1 September 2017 and 31 August 2018. Results: Important features of C. trachomatis pneumonia in children under 6 months of age include persistent cough, nasopharyngitis, conjunctivitis, history of vaginal birth, mother’s history of vaginosis during pregnancy. Absolute eosinophil counts greater than 300/mm3 may suggest C. trachomatis pneumonia. Conclusion: Clinical manifestations of pneumonia due to C. trachomatis pneumonia are persistent cough, nasopharyngitis, conjunctivitis, mother’s history of vaginosis during pregnancy. A higher than 300 eosinophils/mm3 is strongly associated with C. trachomatis pneumonia.

Introduction: Emergency Department overcrowding has become worsening problem internationally which may affect patient, emergency department efficiency and quality of care and this may lead to increased risk of in hospital mortality, higher costs, medical errors and longer times to treatment. With this pandemic COVID-19 likely to go on for months, if not a year or longer, the Emergency Department should be prepared for large influx of patients infected with COVID-19. The aim of this study is to find-out the length of stay in emergency department during COVID-19 pandemic at a tertiary care hospital in Nepal.

The calculated sample size was 211. The data thus obtained was entered in Statistical Package for the Social Science software version 20 and necessary calculations were done. Results: The median length of stay in emergency department was found to be 1.75 hours (Interquartile range 0 to 30 hours). Conclusions: Definitive management starts in respective wards and Intensive Care Units. During COVID-19, with longer emergency stay, chances of cross-infection increases, and the health workers serving in emergency department will be at risks.
