Osteomalacic myopathy: A re-emerging scourge hiding in plain sight.

We present a cluster of patients with osteomalacic myopathy in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe that the home confinement of these children may have contributed to the resurgence of this condition. This deficiency is eminently reversible.

Solitary plaque of borderline lepromatous leprosy clinically masquerading as paucibacillary leprosy.

Borderline lepromatous (BL) leprosy typically manifests as numerous asymmetric ill-defined macules or infiltrated plaques. Localized cutaneous involvement in BL leprosy is infrequently reported. Type 2 reaction (T2R), an immune complex syndrome, occurs in patients with BL and lepromatous leprosy, as crops of tender evanescent papules or nodules with constitutional symptoms.

Role of Combined CT Pulmonary Angiography and Indirect CT Venography in Diagnosing Venous Thromboembolism in COVID-19 Patients - Experience From an Indian Quaternary Centre.

Objectives: To study the role of combined CTPA and indirect CT venogram to diagnose venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia and to compare the clinical characteristics, laboratory parameters, CT findings and clinical outcomes between the VTE positive and negative groups.

Methods: In this retrospective study, 131 patients with COVID-19 pneumonia who underwent CTPA and venogram between August 2020 and January 2021 were included. Relevant demographical, clinical and laboratory data and CT images were collected.

Bacteriological profile of paediatric skin and soft tissue infections and their antibiogram at a tertiary care teaching hospital in north India.

The increasing complexity of wound care in pediatric patients along with delay in the initiation of treatment predisposes these patients to many complications such as pressure ulcers, non-healing surgical wounds and skin damage. A retrospective study was conducted over a period of five years to gain insight into the etiology of pediatric wound infection. A total of 2819 wound culture positive cases were included.
