Background: It has been seen that epidemiology and clinical presentation of dengue infection differs significantly across geographical areas. The present study was done to study clinico-hematological profile of patients with dengue fever in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra.Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted at a tertiary level teaching hospital in Navi Mumbai. All patients were observed over their entire duration of their hospital stay (up to 7 days). We included adult patients of both gender (males or females) who were admitted with clinically and serological diagnosed dengue fever, consenting to participate in the study.  The clinical, laboratory and radiological findings of the patients were noted.Results: All 80 patients presented with fever while 71.25% had myalgia. Retro-orbital pain, rash and vomiting was observed in 38%, 26% and 26% respectively, whereas 23.75% patients were having cough and bleeding from any site. Three fourths of the patients were diagnosed with dengue, 18.75% and 6.25% were diagnosed with DHF and DSS. respectively. Hepatosplenomegaly was increasing from day 1 (9%) to 6th (60%) and 7th (60%) day. Mean haemoglobin levels and haematocrit started increasing from second day onwards, while WBC count and platelet count increased gradually from first day onwards. Splenomegaly was diagnosed in 3.75% of patients while hepatosplenomegaly and fatty liver was observed in 8.75% and 2.5% respectively. There were two deaths, both were cases of DSS.Conclusions: Almost all the patients included in our study showed both haematological and biochemical abnormalities.

Laboratory Profile

Background: Dengue fever is an arboviral disease which is endemic in tropical countries and is of major concern with its morbidity and mortality. WHO classified dengue into three categories: undifferentiated fever, dengue fever (DF) and dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF). Severe dengue is also regularly observed during primary infection of infants born to dengue-immune mothers. The objective of present study was to assess the clinical profile, laboratory profile and associated risk factors related to outcome of children less than 15 years of age. The outcome of the children and their management protocols were also assessed in the study.Methods: A prospective cross sectional study with 174 confirmed cases of dengue in children <15 years were enrolled and classified as per WHO guidelines. The demographic data, clinical history, laboratory parameters were noted in a separate questionnaire form. Hematological parameters were noted, chest x-ray, ultra-sonogram in required cases was done and observations noted. Cases were managed as per WHO protocol and risk factors were observed. The outcomes of the cases were noted as discharge or death of the case.Results: A total of 174 children with 149 non-severe dengue and 25 severe dengue cases with 95 males and 79 females were enrolled in the study. 6-10 years was the most common age group. The mean age of children admitted with severe dengue fever was 5.81yrs.and without severe dengue fever was 7yrs.The mean duration of hospitalization was 5.21 days in severe dengue and 3.4 days in non-severe dengue cases. Fever was the most common presenting symptom and hepatomegaly was the common clinical finding in the study.  Bleeding manifestations were seen in cases of severe dengue with raised haematocrit levels, raised SGOT levels and severe thrombocytopenia. Pleural effusion and gall bladder wall thickening with ascites was seen in severe dengue cases. Management was by administration of colloids and crystalloids.Conclusions: Dengue is a dreadful fever among pediatric age group which needs to be considered with great caution in management.  Understanding the risk factors helps in predicting the mortality which helps in management and better outcome of the fever.

Background: Aim was to study clinical, socio- demographic and laboratory profile and outcome in children with scorpion envenomation up to 12 years of age. This study conducted to provide better insights in to the socio-demographic, clinical, laboratory profile of scorpion envenomation in rural health setting in India.Methods: This was a hospital based, prospective observational study done in children up to 12 years of age admitted in a tertiary care centre between March 2018 to April 2020 with history of scorpion envenomation, presence of sting mark or scorpion seen in vicinity of child by parents or near family members. Unknown bites or stings and cases were the clinical manifestations are not compatible with scorpion sting were excluded.Results: During the study period, 28 children were admitted for scorpion sting. Maximum number of cases were noted in the age group of 3-6 years and there is equal distribution of cases among males and females .Majority of cases from rural areas, 46.42% of the cases had black scorpion sting, most of the stings occurred during evening time and spring season. The most common sting sites were the distal part of the extremities. Pain at the sting site and local swelling were the most common presenting symptoms. The common signs noted were tachycardia. The most common ECG changes were noted in the present study was sinus tachycardia (46.42%) fallowed by ST segment changes noted in 21.4% of children. Commonest complications noted myocarditis, pulmonary edema, myocardial dysfunction, peripheral circulatory failure. One patient died due to pulmonary edema. Majority of the cases recovered without any sequale.Conclusions: Scorpion envenomation is a preventable emergency among children and closely associated with environmental condition, socioeconomic status and child activities. Supervised outdoor play, early hospitalization, close monitoring of vitals and management of complications and supportive care may reduce the mortality and morbidity.

Background: Dengue infection is a major health burden, which can result in mild self-limited febrile illness to highly fatal haemorrhagic disease. Infection is caused by Dengue virus, which is transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Objective: The aim of the study was to see the clinical spectrum, laboratory profile and outcome of dengue fever in adult. Methods: This prospective observational study was carried out on 75 patients in the department of medicine of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka from 11/07/2019 to 20/10/2019. All patients above 18 years with confirmed dengue, who were either hospitalized or managed as outdoor patients with NS1 (non-structural protein) antigen and/ or IgM dengue antibody positive were included in the study. The patients with concomitant malaria, typhoid and leptospirosis were excluded from the study. Detailed history and careful clinical examination were performed on each patient. Results: In this study, all patients (100%) had fever. Among them, 70 (93.3%) was suffering from headache, 66 (88.0%) myalgia, 32 (42.7%) abdominal pain, 30 (40.0%) conjuctival suffusion, 29 (38.7%) nausea/vomiting, 27 (36.0%) skin rashes, 14 (18.7%) pleural effusion, 13 (17.3%) ascites, 13 (17.3%) retro-orbital pain, 11 (14.7%) itching, 8 (10.7%) hepatomegaly, 7 (9.3%) splenomegaly. Death occurred in 3 (4.0%) patients. Rate of cure was 58 (77.3%) and ICU admission was required in 14 (18.7%), they were ultimately cured. Conclusion: Fever associated with headache and myalgia were the most common symptoms. Other common clinical features were abdominal pain, conjunctival suffusion, nausea/vomiting, skin rashes and pleural effusion. Regarding laboratory finding, platelet count has little role in management of dengue patients. Mediscope Vol. 8, No. 1: January 2021, Page 33-39
