In September 2019, a dengue outbreak was observed in many non-endemic areas of Nepal. Theemergency department of Patan Academy of Health Sciences also received febrile patients exceedingusual daily numbers. This surge of the patient was managed by epidemic triage and activation ofsurge capacity. A part of the surge plan was to activate an epidemic emergency unit. An observationward adjacent to the emergency was used for the epidemic emergency unit. The febrile patients whowere triaged yellow and green were treated in this unit. The patients who were triaged as Red weretreated in the emergency department.

INTRODUCTION - Traumatic brain injury [TBI] most affects the working population and their earning capacity. The various sub categories of TBI in terms of clinical features,Glasgow coma scale [GCS] and radiology are well defined.We have attempted an analysis in terms of long term Glasgow outcome score [GOS] and tried to correlate with the various factors of TBI. MATERIALS AND METHODS – All patients of TBI over 12 years and below 60 years and those without other major trauma were included over a period of about two years. The clinical features, presentation GCS, treatment given, and outcomes were assessed.The three month GOS was scored for all patients and was used to analyse the the initial data in its light. RESULTS – A total of 200 patients were eligible for the study and were included. Of these 159 were males and 41 were females.The average age was 37.16 years.There was a relatively higher proportion of mild TBI and greater prevalence of fractures and EDH [extradural hematoma].On analyzing with three month GOS we found that 90.4 % of the patients with mild TBI had a three month GOS of 5 whereas only 31.9% of patients with moderate or severe TBI had a three month GOS of 5. CONCLUSION – The long term GOS is most representative of the extent to which the patient has been able to return to their pre TBI lives. In our study the three month GOS co related well with the initial GCS. Further prospective data can elaborate more on the effect of other clinical features and radiology on long term GOS

Mupirocin Resistance

Apropos to the article by Dr Bali, titled “Mupirocin resistance in clinical isolates of methicillin-sensitive and resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a tertiary care centre of North India” (1), the authors have raised important issue of emerging antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Antimicrobial resistance is an increasingly serious threat to global public health that requires action across all government sectors and society. As per WHO, AMR lurks the effective prevention and management of an ever-increasing spectrum of infections caused by bacteria, parasites, fungi and viruses. Novel resistance mechanisms are emerging and spreading globally, threatening the man’s ability to treat common infectious diseases.
