Objective: To study about prevalence in anemia among the antenatal women, its clinical features, and access the severity and its treatment response. Methods: A hospital-based retrospective study on the prevalence of anemia among the antenatal women in tertiary care hospital for 6 months duration in gynecology and obstetrics department. In evaluating pregnant women with anemia, it is essential to do a complete history and physical examination, as well as complete blood count with indices and a blood smear examination. Based on these findings, other test such as ferritin and serum or red cell folate may be ordered. Because of normal physiologic changes in pregnancy that effect the hematocrit, indices, and some other parameters, diagnosing true anemia, as well as the etiology of anemia, is challenging. Results and Discussion: In this retrospective study, the prevalence of Anemia in pregnancy in a tertiary care hospital was evaluated and determined in fifty patients. The most common age group was between 21 and 25 years i.e., (21 patients) 42%. Among 50 patients, majority of them, i.e., 35 patients (70%) were treated with Injection. Iron Sucrose (200 mg). In this study, increase in prevalence were seen majorly in the third trimester, i.e., 25 patients (50%) of which 22 patients (88%) were with moderate anemia with 7.9 gm/dl average hemoglobin (Hb) percentage and 3 patients (12%) were with mild anemia with 9.3 gm/dl average Hb percentage. Conclusion: The plan of management for anemia complicating pregnancy depends on the type of anemia. Oral iron therapy is the route of choice in women with mild to moderate anemia and for severe anemia in pregnant women <30 weeks of gestation. The rise of Hb with parenteral iron therapy is almost the same (avg: 1gm/dl/week) as that of oral iron therapy.

Dengue virus (DENV), chikungunya virus (CHIKV), and Zika virus (ZIKV) are arboviruses that can affect maternal and fetal outcome if acquired during pregnancy. This study was done to estimate the positivity of DENV, CHIKV, and ZIKV in febrile pregnant women attending a tertiary care hospital in north India. Symptomatic pregnant women were tested for these viruses by IgM ELISA and/or by Trioplex real-time polymerase chain reaction. Their symptoms and laboratory parameters were recorded and were followed up till delivery to know their immediate delivery outcome. Of 104 women tested, 50 (48.1%) were positive for viral markers. Of these, evidence of infection by DENV, CHIKV, and both was found in 34 (32.7%), 10 (9.6%), and 6 (5.8%), respectively. ZIKV was not detected in any woman. Maximum DENV positivity occurred in the third trimester of pregnancy and in women residing in urban than rural areas. Chills and rigors, arthralgia, retro-orbital pain, anemia, and vaginal bleeding were more commonly associated with DENV positivity. Backache, arthralgia, jaundice, and vaginal bleeding were more common in CHIKV positives but the difference between positives and nonpositives regarding these symptoms was not statistically significant. Dengue infections were associated with more frequent hospitalizations (OR = 8.38, 95% confidence intervals [CI] = 3.29–21.30) and mortality (OR = 19.0, 95% CI = 1.01–357.10). Hence, to conclude, in India wherever possible, all symptomatic pregnant women should be screened for DENV, CHIKV, and ZIKV as part of sentinel surveillance for ZIKV.

Background: This study aimed to know the prevalence of abnormal cervical cytology in pregnant women by liquid-based cytology (LBC). Materials and Methods : Cross sectional study done at a tertiary care hospital in between August 2017 to January 2019.Six hundred pregnant women attending the OPD at their rst visit were enrolled and after taking consent, history and clinical examination , subjected to cervical cancer screening by LBC. Result: Out of 600 samples, 10 samples (1.67%) were unsatisfactory for evaluation due to low cellularity. Among 590 samples, only 2 reported as LSIL(Low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion) and 588 reported as NILM (Negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy). Inammation of varying degree, mild, moderate and dense was reported in 58.65%, 24.92% and 16.44% respectively. Infection was reported in 3.73% and Candida. Discussion: prevalence of abnormal cervical cytology among pregnant women in region was low but screening for cancer cervix should be done for all pregnant women, adverse pregnancy outcomes like premature rupture of membranes, preterm birth and low birth weight.
