Clinicopathological Study

ABSTRACT Conjunctival cysts are of a common occurrence in clinical parlance. These tend to be mostly asymptomatic. However, the underlying cause may be vision threatening. Thus, we conducted a clinicohistopathological study of conjunctival cysts in pediatric age group who presented to our outpatient department in Rohilkhand Medical College and Hospital, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, India. The aim was to analyze the risk factors, clinical presentation, treatment modalities, and a certain type of cysts in order of their frequency. Significant history, detailed ocular examination, and relevant investigations that were carried out in 10 cases of conjunctival lesions were noted. The management was done and the histopathological examination (HPE) reports were charted. Despite a similar clinical presentation, HPE revealed varied diagnosis. These comprised choristomatous cysts (4), subconjunctival cysticercosis (2), inclusion cysts (2), inflammatory cyst (1), and capillary hemangioma (1). Conjunctival cysts are not just a cosmetic blemish. A detailed ocular examination, early diagnosis, and treatment can help prevent various vision-threatening complications.

Intense infiltration of gastrointestinal and colonic mucosa with eosinophils or acidophilic gastroenteritis (EG) is a relatively uncommon picture for a pathologist endoscopist especially outside the pediatric age group and is highly suggestive of an ongoing chronic inflammatory process. Existing literature projected a hypothetical association with allergy but the exact pathophysiology is still unknown. Association with malabsorption, protein losing enteropathy, and refractory ulcers with gastrointestinal bleeding makes the clinical presentation more complicated. We present a unique case of diarrhea and abdominal pain in the clinical presentation with associated peripheral eosinophilia, asthma, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The patient's symptoms abated after initiation of budesonide.

Campylobacter Fetus

Campylobacter fetus is a rare cause of meningitis in the pediatric age group and, in particular, among neonates. The clinical presentation of campylobacter meningitis in high-risk neonates is not well-described. A review of campylobacter meningitis by Lee et al1 in 1985 reported nine cases occurring in neonates, of which only one case was caused by C. fetus. In the ensuing six years only three more confirmed cases of neonatal meningitis caused by C. fetus have been reported.2,3 We here report another confirmed case of C. fetus meningitis in a neonate.

INTRODUCTION: Seasonal variation in disease frequency has been observed for centuries. The direct effects of climate on the skin play a small but significant role in determining the geographical and seasonal variation of many skin disorders also in pediatric age group. In our country Nepal where there is a wide range of climates and where pediatric population of 0 to 14 years constitutes 34.19% of the total population there is a need for studying the seasonal variation of pediatric dermatoses separately. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted in the outpatient department of dermatology of Nepal Medical College and Teaching Hospital for a period of 1 year. The total patients were divided according to 4 seasons spring, summer, autumn and winter and analyzed with Chi square test. RESULTS: Out of total 2032 patients 52% was male and 48% was female. Majority of the visits was in the winter season, followed by summer, spring and autumn. The five most common dermatological problems in the pediatric age group were impetigo, lichen urticatus, scabies, seborrheic eczema and milaria. lichen urticatus, seborrheic eczema and milaria showed statistically very significant seasonal variation but impetigo and scabies did not. The age wise variation of these common dermatoses was also statistically highly significant. CONCLUSION: Many common dermatoses in the pediatric age group show seasonal variation and age wise variation.

Over a period of 2 years, 28 patients admitted to Government General Hospital (GGH), Sangli (which is attached to Government Medical College (GMC), Miraj) yielded multi-drug resistant non-typhoidal salmonellae from their clinical material. The pediatric age group predominated in the study, accounting for 93% of cases. Salmonella typhimurium was the main isolate (86%), the other being Salmonella newport (14%). Gastroenteritis was the commonest presentation. Septicaemia was seen with 100% mortality, in infants below 1 month of age. Two cases of meningitis were also seen.

Dermatological Disease

Introduction: Skin diseases are common in children; however they differ depending in age, region, socioeconomic status and climate. Many studies have been done to study pattern of dermatological disease in pediatric age group but only few studies have been done in its seasonal variation. So we decided to study seasonal variation of pediatric dermatoses.   Methods: This was retrospective study done from hospital record of Lumbini Medical College Teaching Hospital (LMCTH). All children 14 years and below attending the Dermatology out-patient clinic with skin diseases between the period of March 2015 to February 2016 were included. Demographic, clinical and laboratory details were recorded. Data were collected and categorized according to four seasons. Microsoft Excel was used for data entry while all analysis, both descriptive and inferential, was done using SPSS version 22.   Results: There were a total of 987 children visiting Dermatology clinic during the study period. Of those, 520 (52.7%) were male and the remaining 467 (47.3%)  were female with M:F ratio of 1.1:1. Most of the disorders were seen between 10-14 years of age. Majority of visits was in summer (n=403, 40.8%) followed by spring, autumn and winter. Most common dermatosis seen among children during summer was fungal infection (n=91, 9.2%) and during winter was eczema (n=49, 5%).   Conclusion: In the present setting there is seasonal variation of dermatological diseases in pediatric age group.

AbstractCerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is an uncommon but fatal disease in the pediatric age group, with a neonatal preponderance. The clinical presentation is nonspecific. Within the first 48 hours, the neonate usually presents with nonspecific signs such as respiratory distress, poor tone, and asphyxia. Neurological signs such as seizures, lethargy, apnea, and poor feeding set in later. We present the case of a neonatal CVT, presenting as asphyxia and respiratory depression on day 1 of life. CVT was diagnosed on neonatal cranial ultrasound. The patient died 3 days later.
