Dermatophytic infections of the skin and appendages are a common occurrence. The pathogenesis involves complex interplay of agent (dermatophytes), host (inherent host defense and host immune response) and the environment. Infection management has become an important public health issue, due to increased incidence of recurrent, recalcitrant or extensive infections. Recent years have seen a significant rise in incidence of chronic infections which have been difficult to treat. In this review, we review the literature on management of dermatophytoses and bridge the gap in therapeutic recommendations.

Recently, in Bangladesh, Chikungunya (CHIK) infection emerged as an important public health issue. Previously, it was not routinely tested by the physician, thus it might remain undiagnosed. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to find out Chikungunya infection in Holy Family Hospital, Dhaka among clinically suspected cases who were sent by the clinicians during rainy season. For detection of Chikungunya infection, a total of 147 serum samples were tested for IgM and IgG of Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) by Immuno chromatographic test (ICT). Out of which 64 (43.5%) samples were positive for Chikungunya infection (positive defined as a person with IgM and or IgG antibody). Of the 64 sero-positive cases, 34 (53.1%), 6 (9.4%) and 24 (37.5%) were positive for only IgM, only IgG and both IgM & IgG antibody respectively. Male were affected higher (51.56%) than female (48.44%). The infection was more common in 31-45 years, 46-60 years and more than 60 years of age groups which was 26.6%, 25% and 26.6% respectively In this study, it was found that among suspected cases of Chikungunya, sero positive cases were 43.5% which was about half of the suspected cases. This finding suggests that, there is need of screening of chikungunya virus and also need of appropriate strategies to control the disease as early as possible.

New Methods

Abstract Antidepressants are a class of compounds widely used in clinical settings for the treatment of several diseases. In the last years there has been a considerable increase in their consumption, representing an important public health issue in several countries. Because they are substances with narrow therapeutic windows, and since they are capable of interacting with other classes of compounds, monitoring of these compounds is of relevance, minimizing the risk of medical interactions as well as side and toxic effects. In addition, understanding the extent of their use, their detection through routine toxicology tests and development of new methods for detection and monitoring is of extreme importance concerning public health, patient well-being, and implications in clinical and forensic situations. The main objective of this work is to perform a critical review on the biological samples used in the detection and quantification of antidepressants with special focus on the techniques for sample preparation.
