Low Sensitivity

Background: Childhood tuberculosis is difficult in the identification of the organism due to impropersampling as well as low sensitivity of the smear. Newer diagnostic methods like Cartridge basednucleic acid amplification tests (CBNAAT) can rapidly identify Mycobacterium tuberculosis withimproved sensitivity over the smear testing. Material & Method:This observational record basedcross-sectional study was undertaken to identify the epidemiology of tubercular infection in childrendiagnosed with CBNAAT. The study was carried out by analyzing the data of children from six monthsto 18 years who were diagnosed with Tuberculosis and treated with anti-tuberculosis therapy (ATT)from April 2018 to March 2020. Results: Data of a total of 166 patients was analyzed. 42% ofoverall collected samples were reactive to CBNAAT testing for tuberculosis. 40 gastric aspiratesamples were collected and only four (10%) turned reactive for tuberculosis by CBNAAT. None of thepediatric samples was positive for MDR TB. 66% of children completed treatment and 33% weredeclared cured. Conclusion: 42% positivity after CBNAAT testing for tuberculosis infection incollected samples of sputum and gastric aspirate where only 10% yield in GA samples.

Breastfeeding Rates

Breast milk is the most ideal and valuable food for the growing infant since it suffices most of the nutritional requirements if given adequately and in appropriate manner. The aim of the study is to assess the knowledge, attitude and practices of mother regarding lactation and impact of counselling to mothers. A questionnaire based cross sectional study was planned and the patients were divided in groups. Statistical analysis was done using IBM SPSS version 22 software.Chi square/Fisher Extract/Student t test and ANOVA test had been used. Most of the ladies had initiated early breastfeeding in both the groups.Hospital staff and family support were the key components influencing the knowledge of breastfeeding.Successful breastfeeding is an important child rearing skill to be learnt and practiced. More IEC activities targeted to promote institutional deliveries will give more opportunity for lactation counselling besides various other advantages like reducing MMR, NMR thus marching towards achieving millennium development goals.We recommend that in every hospital where deliveries are happening, employment of trained lactation counsellors should be made mandatory to improve breastfeeding rates.
