Background: Vaginal discharge in reproductive age poses a serious problem in the developing countries. Bacterial vaginosis also known as non-specific vaginitis is the most common cause of vaginal infections, detecting the organism at an early stage and initiating a proper treatment is very difficult in our country due to lack of awareness and proper follow-up. The disease manifests in the form of vaginal discharge with or without itching. It has a strong association with preterm labor, preterm premature rupture of membranes and low birth weight in pregnancy. The objective of this study was to find out the prevalence of bacterial vaginosis among the reproductive age group women, in a tertiary care centre.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among 150 women of the reproductive age group in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology Sree Mookambika Institute of Medical Sciences over a period of one month October 2018 the diagnosis was made with history and nugents scoring system.Results: Out of the total 150 women enrolled in the study 74 had positive results, 50% of them were of the age group 26-30.Conclusions: The study shows us the high prevalence of bacterial vaginosis.

Background: Absence of menstrual period in a woman of reproductive age group could be physiological or pathological. Ascertaining the cause for this is a common clinical scenario faced by physicians. It is also a common clinical problem in women who are on treatment with antipsychotic medication. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the occurrence of antipsychotic induced amenorrhoea among women aged 18-45 years, attending outpatient services of a tertiary care setting, the factors associated and to assess the effective strategies of treatment.Methods: Retrospective chart review of clinical details of women in the reproductive age group who fulfilled the inclusion criteria was carried out. They were divided into two groups: Group A included 84 women with antipsychotic induced amenorrhea and Group B included 94 women on antipsychotics and had normal menstrual cycles. Various factors and strategies which worsened or alleviated the symptoms were noted.Results: Women who were less than 35 years of age, on antipsychotic treatment for more than two years duration (52;83.9%) and those who were on treatment with Risperidone (69;73.4%) were identified as having the risk of developing antipsychotic induced amenorrhoea. The strategy of switch of medication to prolactin sparing antipsychotic was more effective in regularising the menstrual cycles (43;87.8%).Conclusions: In women presenting with amenorrhoea, a possible medication induced aetiology need to be considered, especially use of antipsychotics. Further understanding of the complexities of this relationship may help to guide the assessment and proper treatment of women with antipsychotic related amenorrhoea.

The aim of this study was to identify common stool parasites in patients attending a tertiary care centre in South India. We evaluated 2355 stool samples and parasites were detected in 7.9% of samples. 41.1% of our patients were in the 45–58-year age group. Protozoal infections were the commonest seen in 7.8% of samples. Entamoeba histolytica was the commonest protozoa (4.6%) followed by Entamoeba coli (1.2%) and Giardia (0.8%). Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba coli were together seen in 0.63%, and they were the commonest organisms seen in samples with multiple-organism infection. Both were equally detected in diarrheal samples.

Introduction: Ear diseases are common in children mainly due to altered anatomy of Eustachian tube which is straighter in children as compared to that in adults. However, the cause of hearing loss in children is more varied, including the etiologies. This study was done to find out the pattern of ear diseases in paediatric age group attending ear, nose and throat OPD in a tertiary care centre in Pokhara, Nepal. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study done in paediatric patients attending ENT OPD over a period of one year from January 2010 to January 2011. The diagnoses were made on the basis of history and clinical examination. Results were expressed in numbers and percentages. Results: Out of 1632 Pediatric ENT patients, 944 had ear diseases, 59.2% were males and 40.8% females. Wax (33.4%) was the commonest diagnosis followed by Chronic suppurative otitis media (24.3%) and Acute ottitis media (13%). Conclusion: Ear diseases are most common condition in ENT OPD among paediatric age group. Wax, CSOM and ASOM were the three most common ear diseases. J. Nepal Paediatr.
