Multi-Cellular Immunological Interactions Associated With COVID-19 Infections.

To rapidly prognosticate and generate hypotheses on pathogenesis, leukocyte multi-cellularity was evaluated in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients treated in India or the United States (152 individuals, 384 temporal observations). Within hospital (<90-day) death or discharge were retrospectively predicted based on the admission complete blood cell counts (CBC). Two methods were applied: (i) a "reductionist" one, which analyzes each cell type separately, and (ii) a "non-reductionist" method, which estimates multi-cellularity.

COVID-19 in pregnancy: A preliminary 50-day review from India.

Background: This retrospective review was done to gauge the preliminary experience of COVID-19 in pregnancy during first 50 days of lockdown in a tertiary care hospital of India.

Methods: This was a single-centered study, wherein all the suspected women (as defined by ICMR guidelines) who were tested for SARS-CoV 2 infection by nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal swabs, and rendered to RT-PCR, were included. Parallel evaluation was performed for women in both groups for sociodemographic and obstetric attributes, risk factors, clinical presentation and feto-maternal outcome.

Incidence of multidrug resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from burn patients and environment of teaching institution.

Context: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important pathogen which causes nosocomial infections in immunocompromised patients, especially in hospitalized burn patients. In recent times, it has emerged as a widespread Multi Drug Resistant (MDR) pathogen which requires antibiotic susceptibility testing on a regular as well as a periodic basis.

Aim Of The Study: The present study was undertaken to determine the antibiogram of P.

Bacterial profile and patterns of antimicrobial drug resistance in intra-abdominal infections: current experience in a teaching hospital.

Context: Bacterial isolates from intra-abdominal infections, in particular, peritonitis and their unpredictable antimicrobial resistance patterns, continue to be a matter of concern not only globally but regionally too.

Aim: An attempt in the present study was made to study the patterns of drug resistance in bacterial isolates, especially gram negative bacilli in intra-abdominal infections (IAI) in our hospital.

Materials And Methods: From 100 cases of peritonitis, identification of isolates was done as per recommended methods.

Neurocysticercosis in children: clinical findings and response to albendazole therapy in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in newly diagnosed cases.

The clinical findings of neurocysticercosis, diagnosed primarily on the basis of computed tomography (CT), and response to albendazole therapy in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial were studied in 72 newly diagnosed children aged 1.5-12 years admitted to hospital in New Delhi, India, during March to July 2000. The lesions by initial CT were mostly single with perilesional oedema, and were located in the parietal lobes.
