Background: Enteric fever is a major public health problem in many developing countries including Bangladesh, where sanitation and public health standards are poor. Objectives: To study the socio-demographic, some of the epidemiological features and knowledge about typhoid vaccine of the hospitalized children with typhoid fever. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in Bangladesh Shishu Hospital & Institute over a one year period from January to December, 2019. All diagnosed cases of Typhod fever admitted in Bangladesh Shishu Hospital & Institute, Dhaka fulfill the inclusion criteria were the study subjects. The informations were collected in a predesigned and pretested questionnaire which included sociodemographic data, family background and knowledge about Typhoid vaccine. Results: A total of 86 children were enrolled in this study who were diagnosed to have typhoid fever during one year period. More than 90% of patients were aged between 1 and 10 years. Majority (90%) of the parents of affected children were unaware about availability of effective vaccine against typhoid fever. An association between literacy status, socioeconomic status, level of personal hygiene and occurrence of typhoid fever was found. Conclusion: Public health interventions to minimize human carrier contact, improved personal hygienic measures and typhoid vaccination will help to reduce the morbidity and mortality of this global health problem.

Background: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a well-established mode of respiratory support in newborns. Bubble CPAP (bCPAP) is safe, efficacious and easy to use in preterm and term neonates with mild to moderate respiratory distress. Objectives: To find out the outcome of bCPAP in neonate with respiratory distress. Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted over 6 months in Bangladesh Shishu Hospital & Institute. Total 108 term and preterm neonates were enrolled who were presented with respiratory distress. Neonate with type II respiratory failure, congenital heart disease and structural malformations of lung and GI tract causing respiratory distress at birth and neonate needed intubatuin at birth were excluded. Detailed information were obtained in each case. Thorough clinical examinations were done. Relevant investigation reports were collected. All the information were recorded. Statistical analysis was done by using SPSS version 23. Results: In this study the mean age was found 43.3±43.1 hours with range from 2 to 204 hours. Majority 62(57.4%) patients were male and male female ratio was 1.3:1. Two third (66.7%) patients had birth weight ³2500 gm, 14(12.9%) had <1499 gm and 22(20.4%) patients had birth weight 1500-2499 gm. Majority (59.3%) patients belonged to gestational age between 37-41 wks, followed by 27(25%) belonged between 33-36 wks and 17(15.7%) belonged between 28-32 wks. Among the enrolled cases 18(16.7%) were RDS, 18(16.7%) were PNA, 14(13%) were PPHN, 9(4.3%) were MAS, 6(5.6%) were TTN, 13(12%) were congenital Pneumonia, 15(13.9%) were Pneumonia, 10(9.3%) were Sepsis and 5(4.6%) were Laryngomalacia. Among 108 patients who were put on bCPAP, 85(78.7%) patients were weaned and 23 (21.3%) were failed and needed mechanical ventilation. Out of 85 weaned patients hundred percent were survived and got discharge. Out of 23 failed cases 16(69.6%) cases were died and 7 (30.4%) cases were survived and got discharge. Conclusion: It is concluded from this study that bCPAP is an effective way of management of neonates with respiratory distress due to various causes. Patients who were failed in bCPAP, died more in final outcome. DS (Child) H J 2021; 38(1): 27-33

Background: Pediatric colonoscopy is a safe, sensitive and crucial tool for diagnosing as well as treating children with lower gastrointestinal diseases. In resource-limited countries like Bangladesh, the practice of pediatric colonoscopy remains rudimentary, lacking in trained professionals and appropriate instrumentation. Objectives: The aim of the study was to find out the indications, common colonoscopic findings along with histopathologic evaluation and immediate post procedure complications of colonoscopy in children. Methods: This was a retrospective study; the records of all the patients whose age was less than 18 years and who underwent colonoscopy from January 2017 to December 2021 were studied. Results: Among the total of 196 children (8.23±4.12), the most common indications were lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB) in 107 (54.6%) patients followed by chronic diarrhea in 33 (16.8%), recurrent abdominal pain (RAP) in 16 (8.2%), follow up Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) in 14 (7.1%), chronic constipation, weight loss, recurrent oral ulcer, intestinal tuberculosis (TB) and melena. The most common pathologic findings were polyps in 81 (61.4%) children followed by non-specific colitis in 19 (14.4%), IBD in 17 (12.9%) and infectious colitis in 09 (6.8%) cases. Minor adverse events occurred in only 2.0% of children. Conclusion: The commonest indication for pediatric colonoscopy was LGIB and the most common findings were colonic polyps. Pediatric colonoscopy is safe and effective diagnostic as well as therapeutic option for lower GI diseases. DS (Child) H J 2021; 38(1): 8-16

Background: Acute kidney injury following cardiac surgery in children is a relatively common phenomenon. The risk ranges from 15% to 64% with a mortality rate of 10% to 89% for those who need dialysis. Objective: To identify the occurrence of acute kidney injury following cardiac surgery in children, as well as its consequences and treatment options. Methods: This study was conducted in the pediatric cardiac recovery center at Bangladesh Shishu Hospital & Institute from January 2019 to December 2020. Using the KDIGO (kidney disease improving global outcome) criteria, 50 children having cardiac surgery were assessed for the occurrence of AKI. Children were divided into two groups. The AKI group consists of 20 patients, whereas the non-AKI group consists of 30 patients. Age, sex, cardiac illness, past operations, RACHS-1 (Risk adjustment for congenital Heart surgery) and pre and post-operative creatinine levels were noted. Fisher’s exact test was used to determine whether or not AKI was associated with categorical factors, while the Mann- Whitney U-test was used to see whether or not AKI was associated with continuous variables. Results: Mean age of study population was 4.50±4.03 years for those who did not develop AKI and 7.55±5.79 years for those who did. Male constituted a majority in both groups. Despite the fact that patients with AKI were more acidotic at baseline, lower bicarbonate levels were not linked to an increased risk of AKI (p=0.89). Neither group had higher or lower pressure than the other. Time spent in bypass and crossclamping was comparable across AKI and non-AKI patients. Patients with AKI did not have a higher risk of developing extracellular fluid excess than non-AKI patients. There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of the average time spent on mechanical ventilation or total hospital stay in days (p=0.17 and p=0.62, respectively). Duration of stay in the cardiac recovery increased for patients who had AKI (p=0.02). The mortality rate among the AKI patients was 20% (4/14). In the control group without AKI, there was one death (3.33%) (p 0.0001). Conclusion: AKI is common complication of paediatric cardiac surgery. Prolong times spent on mechanical ventilation in the ICU and in the hospital have all been linked to AKI. DS (Child) H J 2021; 38(1): 44-48

Radiation sterilized human amniotic membrane allografts are used as biological dressing of wounds in rehabilitative surgery. The amniotic membrane is used in many different clinical situations such as: heat burn, chemical burns, diabetic wound/ diabetic foot ulcer, leprotic ulcer, abdominal wall reconstruction, pterigium removal site, peripheral corneal ulcer, in the management of pressure sore, etc.Non-viable lyophilized/oven-dried radiation sterilized amniotic membrane allografts could be processed for utilization as temporary biological dressing of wounds. The allografts used clinically should not be the carriers of germs or a source of infection. Human chorio-amniotic membranes collected for processing as tissue allografts to be used as biological dressings were reported to be contaminated with microorganisms such as species of Staphylococcus, Micrococcus, Bacillus and Pseudomonas.However, oven dried (40ºC) or freeze dried (-50ºC) human amniotic membranes were found to be sterilized by irradiation with the dose of 25 kiloGray (kGy) of gamma radiation.Careful screening and selection of tissue donors, proper processing and gamma radiation sterilization of human amniotic membranes minimize the risk of disease transmission to recipients through allografts.

Background: Aloe vera has been used traditionally for healing burn and inflammation. Though, the evidence for the effectiveness of aloe vera for healing burn is not sufficient. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of aloe vera gel in management of superficial burn in children. Methods: This retrospective study was taken place in the Department of Burn and Reconstructive Surgery, Bangladesh Shishu Hospital & Institute, Dhaka and other two privet clinics at Dhaka, from September, 2019 to March, 2022. Total 47 patients with superficial partial thickness burn was included in the study. Results: In this study, majority (48.94%) patients were belonged to the age group of £24 months. The mean age was found 38.9±26.31 months. The current study observed that almost two third (61.70%) patients were male. In our study, majority (63.83%) patients stayed hospital for 1-5 days. In the present study, mean (±SD) pain relief time was 3.56±1.24 days and mean (±SD) wound healing time was found 8.19±1.6 days. The current study observed that only 3(6.38%) patients had found wound infection. In current study showed that mean treatment cost was found 76.46±31.88 Taka. Conclusion: Aloe vera gel facilitated early pain alleviation, wound healing, and costeffective superficial burn treatment in children.
