We report a case of a vaginal infection caused by a strain of Burkholderia cenocepacia. The strain was isolated from vaginal swab specimens from a 27 Year old female, house wife G2 A1 at 34 weeks+5 days period of gestation with hypothyroidism, oligohydramnios, early onset IUGR with Doppler changes. Treatment with inj metronidazole and inj.ceftazidime annihilated B. cenocepacia infection and vaginal symptoms.

A Prospective Study

SUMMARYA prospective study of genital infection was conducted in four inner-city family–planning clinics. Fifteen per cent of routine attenders had symptoms and signs of vaginal infection and many more women attended primarily because of symptoms. Among the women with both signs and symptoms, 70% had positive laboratory findings, Trichomonas vaginalis, Candida albicans and bacterial vaginosis being equally prevalent. Measurement of vaginal pH in the clinic was the single most useful clinical finding for directing empirical therapy. Among patients with a discharge confirmed on examination and an abnormally high pH, 72% had either T. vaginalis or bacterial vaginosis. Neisseria gonorrhoeae was isolated from 4% of women with, and 1% of those without, symptoms. We believe that it is worthwhile to investigate patients presenting to family-planning clinics with vaginal symptoms. No single specimen was found ideal for all pathogens, a cervical swab is better for gonococci and also for T. vaginalis but a vaginal swab is needed for Candida and bacterial vaginosis.

Background: Prematurity is the cause of 85% of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Recently, vaginal infection has been associated with increased risks for prematurity and premature rupture of membranes (PROM). Since preventive measures can prevent preterm labour and neonatal morbidity and mortality taking these facts into consideration the present study was undertaken to study the role of vaginal infection in preterm labour, PPROM, PROM. Methods: A prospective observational study was done in Obstetrics and Gynaecologty Department of DMCH, Laheriasarai, Bihar. The aim was to study the role of vaginal infections in preterm labour, preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) and premature rupture of membranes (PROM). Objectives of the study were to diagnose vaginal infection by taking high vaginal swab, to study the relation of vaginal infection and preterm labour, PPROM, PROM, to evaluate maternal morbidity, mortality and neonatal outcome. The another objective was to select an appropriate antibiotic therapy. The study was done on 80 patients of preterm labour, PPROM and PROM. Vaginal infection was confirmed by high vaginal swab and neonatal outcome was noted. Results: Out of 80, high vaginal swab had growth in 40 patients and 40 were sterile. CONS were the commonest isolated organism grown followed by candida. RDS was the commonest neonatal complication seen in mothers with vaginal infection who delivered prematurely, thus vaginal infection being a common cause of preterm labour, PPROM and PROM, timely detection and treatment is important to avoid prematurity, associated neonatal morbidity and mortality. Conclusions: study provides important data about microbiological correlate of threatened preterm, preterm labour, PROM, PPROM in our pregnant women and most of pathological isolates were sensitive to ampicillin, taxim and gentamicin.

Objectives: Although clear advances have been achieved in the study of early-onset schizophrenia (EOS), little is known to date about premorbid and prodromal neuropsychological functioning in EOS. Method: Here, we report on a case of an adolescent male with EOS who underwent neuropsychological testing before and after illness onset. Results: Marked cognitive deficits in the domains of attention, set-shifting, and verbal memory were present both pre-onset and during the course of schizophrenia, though only deficits in verbal memory persisted after illness-onset and antipsychotic treatment. Conclusion: The findings of this case study suggest that impairments in the verbal memory domain are particularly prominent symptoms of cognitive impairment in prodromal EOS and persist in the course of the disorder, which further demonstrates the difficult clinical situation of adequate schooling opportunities for adolescent patients with EOS.
