The purpose of the study is to research the morbidity, mortality and case fatality rate y of chronic viral hepatitis B without and with a delta agent from 2010–2017. in Kyrgyzstan.Materials and methods: analyzed state reporting forms No. 12 “Report on morbidity and preventive work (family medicine center, dispensary)” and “C51 — Distribution of deaths by sex, age groups and causes of death” from 2010–2017. Data processed by Microsoft Office Excel.Results: In the country from 2010–2017 3292 cases of chronic viral hepatitis B were detected, 1738 patients of them verified an independent course (СhHBV), and 1,554 patients combined with a delta agent (СhHDV), while the incidence did not have a statistically significant difference (3.80/0000, 95% CI 2.4–4.0 and 3.40/0000, 95% CI 2.2–3.4, СhHBV and СhHDV, respectively) were 20 times lower compared to the HBV Carrier (60 40/0000). There was no statistically significant difference between the cumulative morbidity, mortality, case fatality rate and the proportion of deaths in СhHBV and СhHDV. The death rate СhHBV increased by 4.7 times (0.090/0000 and 0.410/0000), case fatality rate — by 11.8 times (1355.00/0000 and 16025.60/0000) amid a decrease the incidence is 2.5 times (6.40/0000 and 2.50/0000) from 2014 to 2017, respectively. At СhHDV, the mortality rate was also increased by 4.7 times (0.030/0000 and 0.160/0000), case fatality rate — by 32.3 times (793.70/0000 and 25641.80/0000) against the background of a decrease in incidence by 6.9 times (4.40/0000 and 0.60/0000) from 2014 to 2017, respectively.Conclusion: In Kyrgyzstan from 2010–2017, relatively low detectability of chronic forms of HBV infection with and without delta agent was found, compared with the “HBV carrier”. There has been an increase in mortality and case fatality rate over the past 4 years, with a sharp rise in 2017 against the background of a downward trend in the incidence of СhHBV and СhHDV.

The study was conducted on 106 E. coli isolates to determine the phylogenetic group, serotype and carriage of Class 1 integrons in isolates and ascertain their association along with other parameters with vital disease measures in broiler flocks affected with colibacillosis. Out of 32 isolates of which “O” antigen was characterized, serogroup O2 comprising of 12 (37.5%) isolates was most prevalent in the present study. Most of the isolates (85/106; 80.19%) belonged to phylogenetic group B2. Mean apparent morbidity, mortality and case fatality rate (CFR) were 3.77%, 2.32% and 61.49%, respectively. There was significant difference in number of outbreaks reported in different age groups (p less than 0.0001). Also, there was significant association between phylogenetic group and age of outbreak due to E. coli (p=0.024). Comparatively, no significant association was observed between age of outbreaks and serotypes (p=0.980). There was significant association between various disease measures and E. coli isolates affiliated to various phylogenetic groups and serotypes. All the measures (apparent morbidity, mortality and CFR) of disease were highest in outbreaks due to isolates of phylogenetic group B2 and serogroup O20. However, the measures were not significantly affected by the presence of integrons in the E. coli.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the elderly population has been disproportionately affected, especially those in nursing homes (NH). Inosine pranobex (IP) has been previously demonstrated to be effective in treating acute viral respiratory infections. In three NH experiencing the SARS-CoV-2 virus epidemic, we started treatment with IP as soon as clients tested PCR+. In Litovel, CZ, the difference in case-fatality rate (CFR) for the PCR+ group using vs. not using IP was statistically significant, and the odds ratio (OR) was 7.2. When comparing all those taking IP in the three NH vs. the non-drug PCR+ group in Litovel, the odds ratio was lower for all three NH, but still significant at 2.9. The CFR in all three tested NHs, age range 75–84, compared to the CFR in all NHs in the Czech Republic, was significantly reduced (7.5% vs. 18%) (OR: 2.8); there was also a significant difference across all age groups (OR: 1.7). In our study with 301 residents, the CFR was significantly reduced (OR: 2.8) to 11.9% (17/142) in comparison to a study in Ireland with 27.6% (211/764). We think the effect of IP was significant in this reduction; nevertheless, these are preliminary results that need larger-scale trials on COVID-19 patients.

Purpose — to investigate the vitamin D supply in children with chronic viral hepatitis B (HBV) depending on the activity of hepatitis and the stage of liver fibrosis. Materials and methods. Fifty children with HBV were examined. All children underwent a comprehensive examination according to the recommendation and elastography of the shear wave of the liver parenchyma to determine the stage of fibrosis. Serum 25(OH)D concentration was determined to verify the diagnosis of vitamin D deficiency. The peculiarities of vitamin D supply in children with HBV, depending on gender, age, hepatitis activity and stage of liver fibrosis, were evaluated. The study included children who did not receive calcium and vitamin D for 6 months. Results. Children of senior scholl age predomnanted among the surveyed. HBV was more often registered in boys 66.0% (n=33), while in girls — only 34.0% (n=17) (χ2=10.24; p=0.01). Among the examined children significantly more often 66.0% (n=33) we observed HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis, 18.0% (n=9) children were diagnosed with HBeAg-positive chronic infection, HBeAg-negative chronic infection were determined in 14.0% (n=7) of children. In the vast majority (70.0%) of patients with HBV, the concentration of vitamin D in the serum was reduced (χ2=16.0; p=0.01). The average concentration of 25(OH)D was 59.85 [13.4–181] nmol/l and was in the zone of insufficiency. The optimal concentration of 25(OH)D was found in 30.0% (n=15) of children, insufficiency in 42.0% (n=21), vitamin D deficiency was diagnosed in 14 children (28.0%). Gender, age and biochemical activity of hepatitis do not affect the level of vitamin D in the examined children with HBV (p>0.05). The analysis of vitamin D supply depending on the stage of fibrosis did not reveal differences in the median concentration of 25(OH)D between groups of children, but in all groups the number of patients with low concentrations of vitamin D prevailed. Conclusions. HBV in children is characterized mainly by a chronic course, with a predominance of the parenteral route of infection. In most patients with HBV, the concentration of 25(OH)D in the serum is reduced. There was no statistically significant difference between the levels of vitamin D in children with HBV depending on gender, age, and biochemical activity of hepatitis. All children with cirrhosis of the liver were deficient in vitamin D. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local ethics committee of all participating institution. The informed consent of the patient was obtained for conducting the studies. No conflict of interest was declared by the authors. Key words: chronic viral hepatitis B, children, vitamin D, hepatitis activity, stage of fibrosis.

Background: Rajshahi medical college hospital is a tertiary care teaching and referral center in the North-West part of Bangladesh. To assess the epidemiological trend in hospital admission, including morbidity and mortality pattern of illness in the pediatric population, it needs to develop effective health care planning, appropriate resource allocation, and integration of existing health care service facilities. Objective: To evaluate the diseases and deaths of children admitted in the department of pediatrics, Rajshahi medical college hospital, Rajshahi. Materials and methods: This is a retrospective study. The collected case records of all patients admitted in the department of pediatrics from 1st January 2017 to 31st December 2019 (3 years) were analyzed.  Result: A total of 62000 children were admitted during the mentioned study period. All the patients were distributed into three age groups infant, under five, and more than five, contributing 22%, 27.5%, and 19%, respectively. Acute watery diarrhea (21%), hereditary hemolytic anemia (18%), bronchopneumonia (10.4%), acute gastritis (9.4%), and acute bronchiolitis and wheezy child (7.17%) were the top five diseases in each of the three years of admission. Among the total admitted patients, 1003 (1.61%) patients died. Infant, under five, and more than five age groups constitute 61.3%, 28.1%, and 15.1%, respectively. Encephalitis and fulminant hepatic failure found the top two diseases causing death with a case fatality rate was 61% and 43%, respectively. The next highest case fatality rate was found in acute leukemia (15%). Other common causes of death include meningitis, cerebral palsy with complications (7.5%), bronchopneumonia with complications (3.8%). Conclusion: An admission-related comprehensive evaluation of this study will help to understand the diseases and death patterns of a hospital, leading to the development of more effective planning and case management strategies.
