Presenting Symptoms

Background: Dengue is the most common fever. Among all flavi-viruses, it is the most common. It can cause around 50-100 million infections. Every year 2-5 lakh cases of Dengue hemorrhagic fever occur. The objective of the research was to study clinical profile of patients with Dengue fever at a tertiary care hospital.Methods: Present study was cross sectional study. The patients were interviewed and examined at one point of time and later they were never followed which is similar to the cross-sectional study design. Present study was carried out in the hospital. This was done in the department of General Medicine of a tertiary care hospital. Present study was carried out over a period of one year.Results: In the present study, there were 78 males and 22 females. The sex ratio was 3.5:1. Maximum number of males (29.5%) was in the age group of 15-25. Among females, the maximum (40.9%) were in the age group of 26-35 years and 46-55 years (9%). The most common presenting symptom was fever in all cases followed by headache in 90%. Among bleeding manifestations, epistaxis, gum bleeding and hematuria (15%) were the common symptoms. Most patients presented with generalized lymphadenopathy in 52%. 56 patients showed only hepatomegaly and 46 splenomegaly, and 30 patients showed hepato splenomegaly. 99 showed leucopenia and 10 were anemic and 25 showed platelet count less than 1,50,000cells/cumm.Conclusions: Males were commonly affected. Younger age group of 15-25 was most commonly affected and fever and headache were the most common presenting symptoms. These findings help physicians in early diagnosis of dengue by suspecting these features as of dengue and can prevent morbidity and mortality associated with dengue.

Bladder Injuries

Background: Iatrogenic bladder injuries (IBI) are more common during obstetric and gynaecological procedures averaging 2.6 IBIs per 1000 surgeries. The objective of the study was to estimate the incidence of IBIs during OBG procedures in a tertiary care hospital at Puducherry. To study the proportion and clinical profile of the IBIs where the management of an urologist was indicated intra-operatively.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital in Puducherry by analysis of records of OBG surgeries conducted during the 5 years’ period from 2011 to 2015. The occurrence of IBIs during obstetric and gynaecological surgeries was estimated and the records of those with injuries were analysed retrospectively.Results: The overall incidence of Iatrogenic Bladder Injuries (IBI) among the OBG surgeries was 1.33% (n=19). Iatrogenic Bladder Injuries (IBI) frequently happened during Gynaecological procedures (73.7%, n=14) than during Obstetric procedures (26.3%, n=5). The incidence of bladder injuries intra-operatively was more frequent during dissection of bladder (57.9%, n=11) and opening the abdomen (36.8%, n=7). The requirement of urologist was more felt during posterior bladder wall injuries (26.3%, n=5).Conclusions: The occurrence of IBIs was more common during Gynaecological procedures than during obstetric procedures. Most of the gynaecological procedures especially hysterectomies require the expertise presence of an urologist.
