Extra-intestinal salmonellosis in a tertiary care centre in South India.

Background And Objectives: Extra-intestinal salmonellosis is associated with higher case fatality and is underestimated in the developing countries like India. Here we present a case series of bacteriologically proven extra-intestinal salmonellosis managed at our institute over the past two years.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective analysis of bacteriologically proven extra-intestinal salmonellosis over two years between January 2020 to December 2021 was carried out.

Seroprevalence of transfusion transmissible infections among blood donors by chemiluminescent assay in a tertiary care centre.

Introduction: Blood transfusion is a life saving measure, but also carries risk of transfusion transmitted infections (TTIs). In spite of improved donor screening, risk of transmission of TTIs still remains a major concern. Stringent screening of blood not only ensures safe supply of blood and blood products, but also gives us an idea about prevalence of TTIs among general population.
