Profile of 208 patients with inborn errors of immunity at a tertiary care center in South India.

Primary immune deficiencies or inborn errors of immunity (IEI) are a heterogeneous group of disorders that predispose affected individuals to infections, allergy, autoimmunity, autoinflammation and malignancies. IEIs are increasingly being recognized in the Indian subcontinent. Two hundred and eight patients diagnosed with an IEI during February 2017 to November 2021 at a tertiary care center in South India were included in the study.

Ultrasound-guided procedures in the management of heterotopic caesarean scar pregnancy - A review of case reports and case series.

Background: Heterotopic caesarean scar pregnancy (HCSP) is where one gestational sac implants in the previous caesarean section (CS) scar and another sac implants in the uterine cavity. There is limited evidence on the management of this rare condition. Here, we present a case of HCSP in which US-guided selective reduction of the CS pregnancy (CSP) was performed using potassium chloride (KCl) to salvage the intrauterine pregnancy.

Monochorionic triamniotic triplets following conventional in vitro fertilization and blastocyst transfer.

Multiple pregnancy in in vitro fertilization (IVF) is on the decline with a reduction in number of embryos transferred. But the risk of monozygotic splitting persists. The risk of monozygotic twinning in women undergoing IVF is reported to be twice that of natural conception, and monochorionic triplets are even rarer at 100 times more than natural conception.
