Clinico-Epidemiologic Characteristics of Patients Reported in the Mycotic Infections in COVID-19 Registry.

We update results from the Mycotic Infections in COVID-19 (MUNCO) Registry, May-September 2021. Data collection from May to September 2021 yielded 728 cases from India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Thailand, and the United States. The cases consisted of mostly mucormycosis (97.

Factors Associated with Mortality in Coronavirus-Associated Mucormycosis: Results from Mycotic Infections in COVID-19 (MUNCO) Online Registry.

Background: COVID-19-associated mucormycosis (CAM) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. MUNCO is an international database used to collect clinical data on cases of CAM in real time. Preliminary data from the Mycotic Infections in COVID-19 (MUNCO) online registry yielded 728 cases from May to September 2021 in four South Asian countries and the United States.

Online Registry of COVID-19-Associated Mucormycosis Cases, India, 2021.

We established an online registry of coronavirus disease-associated mucormycosis cases in India. We analyzed data from 65 cases diagnosed during April-June 2021, when the Delta variant predominated, and found that patients frequently received antibacterial drugs and zinc supplementation. Online registries rapidly provide relevant data for emerging infections.

Amyloid goiter: a case of primary thyroid amyloid disease.

Amyloid goiter is an atypical presentation of an already rare disease, amyloidosis, which uncommonly comes across in previous review of literature. A patient presented with respiratory distress, which aroused a dilemma on diagnosis because the presentation mimicked that of malignancy. A high index of attentiveness should be kept whenever amyloid deposits are seen on fine needle aspiration cytology, as they are also established in medullary carcinoma.

Clinical etiology of myiasis in ENT: a reterograde period--interval study.

Unlabelled: Myiasis in ENT, once a deadly disease still presents as a significant outdoor problem, though advances in management including supportive therapy has led to early healing with significant reduction in bed occupancy rate.

Aims: To assess the clinico etiology, relationship of myiasis to habit and habitat of patients and to assess the changes in age, seasonal, socioeconomic incidence, nasal bacterial flora and usefulness of certain commonly done tests with reference to a gap of 25 years.

Materials & Methods: The presenting study was conducted on 80 patients selected over a period of two time intervals ; first 40 cases were chosen from 1979 to 1980 and next 40 over 2003 to 2004.

Nasal glioma : A case report.

Nasal glioma, also known as glial heterptopia or the occurrence of isolated non - leratomatous glial tissue is a rare and benign congenital defect. This condition is diagnosed usually at birth time and requires early treatment to prevent facial deformations. We report here a case of extranasal glioma that was diagnosed and treated at the department of ENT, Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal.

Bronchial foreign body: A case report.

Exogenous foreign bodies in the tracheo bronchial tree, are not uncommon particularly in children. Children who are not given proper individual attention at an early age are more liable to ingest or inhale foreign body. Complications are related to site, size, shape, nature and duration of foreign body.

A rare case of primary nasoethmoidal meningioma.

Meningiomas of sinonasal tract is a rare entity especially in children. Primary sinonasal meningiomas often pose difficulty in diagnosis because of their infrequent occurrence and clinically they appear to be nasal polyp. The final diagnosis rests on the histological examination.
