AbstractHydatid disease is a parasitic infestation in humans caused by Echinococcus granulosus. Here, it develops in liver, lung, brain or other organs but liver is the most commonly affected organ. Intensity of morbidity depends upon location, expansion and activity of cyst. In modern medicine, surgery is still the treatment of choice but the chance of relapse and other complications is always there. Homoeopathy provides a better response in such conditions. One such case report is presented below. A young female patient attended outdoor patient department chiefly for complaints of jaundice, vomiting and right hypochondriac pain for the last 1 month and her diagnosis was hydatid cyst in right lobe of liver sized 11 × 15mm (by ultrasonography). She was successfully treated with the single and individualised homoeopathic medicine Crotalus horridus in 50 millesimal potencies in respect of both symptomatically and pathologically as evident by ultrasonography reports. Possible causal attribution of changes was explicitly depicted by Modified Naranjo Criteria. It shows positive role of homoeopathic treatment in regression of hydatid cyst in a young female.

Contact dermatitis is a type of skin eruption. It is caused by chemical or physical substance comes in contact with skin that causes allergic reaction. Contact dermatitis can be caused by different compound in home or work.  It is chronic or continuous, non-contagious in nature. Here, a18 year’s old girl presented with a popular eruption over flexor aspect of wrist joint and over both ear lobes over last 3 to 4 years. It was a diagnosed case of contact dermatitis. She was successfully treated by individualized Homoeopathic treatment with single medicine Calcarea Carb over 4 to 5 months. She initially did not show stable improvement on homoeopathic medicine selected on the basis of symptoms. On changing the medicine considering mental symptoms and physical general, she gradually showed good improvement and reached remission by 3 months. Remission maintained without any recurrence over the next 2 years. It shows positive role of Homoeopathic treatment in contact dermatitis in a young woman.

AbstractTrigeminal neuralgia (TN) is the most frequent type of neuropathic facial pain affecting one or more branches of trigeminal nerve. Here, a 51-year-old woman diagnosed with idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia (ITN) presented with complaints of pain over right side of the face with redness of the eyes and excessive lachrymation since 5 years with weekly acute episodes of shooting pain. Chelidonium was chiefly prescribed followed by few doses of Spigelia as per indications which provided adequate pain relief. The complaints flared up following stressful circumstances for which Pulsatilla was prescribed after detailed case taking. The frequency, duration and intensity of pain reduced after homoeopathic treatment. The need for conventional medicine was also reduced. This suggests positive role of individualised homoeopathy in the treatment of ITN. Further studies should be undertaken to evaluate the role of homoeopathy in ITN.

The persistence of lung parenchymal changes Post COVID-19 is increasingly recognized as a vital outcome observed on some patients recovering from SARS-CoV2 infection with limited evidence-based management so far. Here we present a 64-year-old male developed extensive interstitial lung changes post SARS-CoV2 infection and was successfully managed with oral prednisone, pirfenidone, and azithromycin maintenance regimen with significant improvement in his clinical and radiographic parameters noted within a relatively short time. The role of a combined therapeutic approach with anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic drugs might be provocative action in patients with COVID-19 related interstitial lung disease, especially those at risk for persistent long-term abnormalities and pulmonary fibrosis development.

Diagnosis of tinea capitis requires direct microscopy with potassium hydroxide (KOH) staining and culture examination as the gold standard. Dermoscopy for the diagnosis of tinea capitis needs to be appraised through evidence-based case report method. A 22 years old woman came with systemic lupus erythematosus which was treated with methylprednisolone and azathioprine for a year. She had wide patchy alopecia, dry scaling, dull gray hair and minimal inflammation. KOH 20% showed septate hyphae and spores surrounding her hair shafts. Dermoscopy examination showed “comma hairs”, “corkscrew”, “perifollicular scaling” and “broken hairs”. Three articles from Pubmed and Gale fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Articles were critically appraised and concluded that comma hairs sensitivity rate varies between 60-66% and specificity of 100%, while corkscrew had sensitivity rate varies 20-80% and specificity of 83-100%. Combination of dermoscopy with clinical performance and direct microscopic examinations amplify definitive diagnosis. Further investigations are needed to validate the role of dermoscopy as a diagnostic tool per se for tinea capitis.

AbstractMolluscum contagiosum (MC) is the most frequent human disease resulting from poxvirus infection. It has a worldwide distribution. Children are usually affected. There is no specific systemic treatment for MC, but a variety of techniques for physical ablation have been used. Homoeopathic treatment offers an effective and safe treatment with painless management of the MC cases. Here, a 3.6-year-old female child presented with complaints of papular eruptions on the face for the last 1 year. She was effectively treated by individualised homoeopathic medicine Calcarea carbonica. Improvement in the case was assessed by outcome in relation to impact on daily living scale at each month for 05 months during follow-ups and possible causal attribution of the changes in the case was measured using ‘Modified Naranjo Criteria’. This case report showed positive role and efficacy of homoeopathic treatment of MC in children.

Eczema is a superficial inflammation of the skin. In conventional medicine, it is treated with emollients and topical steroids. We present the case of a 44-year-old male patient with eczema over the face, neck, chest and hands, who was treated with the homoeopathic medicines sulphur and graphites without the aid of emollients and steroids. It is clearly apparent from this evidence-based case report that homoeopathy has a positive role in the treatment of eczema. This finding can provide the basis for conducting large-scale studies with different study designs regarding the treatment of eczema with homoeopathy.

AbstractDespite its high prevalence in clinical and consultant liaison psychiatry populations, adjustment disorder (AD) research has traditionally been hindered by its lack of clear diagnostic criteria. Here, we are presenting five cases of AD diagnosed with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.Five patients who consulted at the Out Patient Department of National Homoeopathy Research Institute of Mental Health, Kerala, India, with symptoms of AD were treated with individualised homoeopathic medicine. Assessment of the symptoms was done using Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale—21 Items. Details of consultations, treatment and assessment are summarised. Possible causal attribution of changes was explicitly depicted by Naranjo Criteria. It shows the positive role of homoeopathic treatment in AD.All five patients showed marked improvement.We were able to prevent the considerable self-harm and suicidality associated with AD. However, more extensive research is needed in the topic to prove the effectiveness of individualised homoeopathic medicine in AD.
