Management of Thoracic Empyema in Children: A Survey of Indian Pediatricians, Pediatric Surgeons, Pulmonologists, and Intensivists.

Background: Empyema thoracis poses a clinical conundrum due to its diverse clinical presentations and management options.

Aims And Objectives: The study aimed to investigate the variability in clinical practice across centres and disciplines in the management of empyema in children.

Materials And Methods: An online questionnaire focusing on paediatric empyema management was circulated among clinicians in India.

mutations and phenotypic correlations in people with cystic fibrosis: a retrospective study from a single centre in south India.

Background: Emerging data reveal higher-than-expected prevalence of cystic fibrosis (CF) among non-European populations worldwide including in the Indian subcontinent. Systematic analyses of the mutation profile, and genotype-phenotype correlations among people with CF from south, east, or northeast India have not been reported before. We wanted to identify mutations in people with CF, and highlight novel variants, selective phenotypic correlations, and regional variances within India.
