Clinical profile of lens induced glaucoma at a tertiary centre in north India

Background: Pediatric surgery is a sub-speciality involving the surgery of foetuses, infants, children and adolescents. Congenital malformations, trauma and childhood cancers are their three major concerns requiring the focus of their attention. Rural pediatric population in India still remains devoid of such facilities. Little is factually known about the burden of surgical disease globally. Surgical treatment is an essential component of basic medical care and an important means of providing preventive and curative therapy. Pediatrician has a significant role in caring for surgical patients. There is a need to know the spectrum of diseases that warrant admission into the pediatric surgical units. Current study was conducted to find out the clinical profile and immediate outcome of the various pediatric surgical conditions. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted at Vadodara. All the patients 0-18 years, with surgical condition were enrolled in the study. Patients were followed from the time of admission to discharge. All the clinical data from admission to discharge were recorded and analyzed.Results: Total 127 (3%) patients were enrolled in the study. Males were 93 (73.2%). One to 5 years 45 (35.4%) was the largest age group folowed by infants 23 (18.1%). Largest number of patients were from Gastro Intestinal Condition 52 (40.9%) and congenital causes forms 83 (65.35%) of admissions. Commonest congenital anomaly was inguinal hernia 23 (27.7%). Complications were recorded in 46 (36.22%) patients. The average duration of stay was 7.7 days. The 124 patients were discharged successfully.Conclusions: Surgical conditions are important part of pediatric and neonatal care. Management of congenital surgical condition is important to decrease infant and under five mortality and other comorbidities as well.

Background: Various studies have found the overall incidence of cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADR’s) in developed countries as 1-3%, while the incidence in developing countries is thought to be higher between 2 and 5%. FDEs’ share is seen to be about 15 -30% of all CADR’s as reported in various studies. Aim of the research work was to study the clinical and epidemiological features of fixed drug eruptions and to identify probable culprit drug or drugs using Naranjo ADR probability scale and to provide information to the patient regarding the drug responsible for his/her drug rash.Methods: A total of 180 patients of fixed drug eruptions were taken up for study who presented to skin OPD at a tertiary centre of North India. Diagnosis was made on the basis of history of drug intake prior to drug eruption, repetition of similar lesions on same as well as new sites on intake of same drug with improvement of skin lesions on discontinuation of the causative drug. Further on examination, skin lesions with typical morphology compatible with FDE were seen. Causality of the FDE was assessed according to the NARANJO ADR probability scale.Results: A total of 180 patients of FDE were studied. Males outnumbered the females. The most common class of drug implicated was antimicrobials seen in 115 patients followed by NSAIDS 65 patients. Regarding the clinical presentation both skin and mucosal involvement was seen. The most common skin lesions were erythematous to hyperpigmented and violaceous macules followed by bullous FDE.Conclusions: In summary, early recognition of FDE is important not only for the dermatologists but also for the clinicians of other specialties, so that the culprit drug is recognized and stopped immediately. Drug reactions are a common reason for litigation and has medicolegal pitfalls.

Background: Uncontrolled use and abuse of topical steroids has led to increase in number of cases of superficial dermatophytosis of skin, hair and nail in pediatric age group as well. Our study aimed to analyse epidemiological and microbiological profile of steroid modified tinea (SMT) in pediatric age group.Methods: Clinically diagnosed tinea childhood patients with history of usage of topical steroids in children were included in our study. Detailed history was taken and clinical examination along with KOH mount and culture was done.Results: 112 patients were clinically diagnosed as tinea out of which 61cases gave the history of topical steroids and were included in our study. Most common age group was 12-18 years with female:male of ratio approximately 3:1 and disseminated and atypical form was the most common variety. KOH mount was positive in 73.2% cases and culture was positive in 69.6% cases. Most common species found out to be Tinea mentagrophytes followed by Tinea rubrum. Among non-dermatophyte group, Candida was the commonest.Conclusions: There is rise in incidence of dermatophytosis, especially steroid modified, atypical and disseminated.
