Background: Children are mostly affected in burn injury at our country like other low and middle income countries (LMICs). Approximately 90% of the burns occur in under developed countries, which generally lack the necessary infrastructure to reduce the incidence and severity of burns. Objectives: This study was done to investigate the pattern of burn cases admitted to Dhaka Shishu (Children) Hospital (DSH). Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted over the period of one year from January 2019 to December 2019 at Dhaka Shishu (Children) Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The data was collected from the patients record section of the hospital. Patients characteristics (e.g. age, sex), causes and severity of injury, outcome, hospital stay and seasonal variation were analized in this study. Results: A total of 91 patients were admitted during study period of one year. This study consisted of 53 male patients (58.24%) and 38 female patients (41.76%) with male to female ratio of 1.3:1. The most frequently hospitalized burn patients were in the age group 3-5 years, which accounted for 30.77% of patients. Burns were more common during winter season followed by autumn season, with 43 cases (47.25%) and 18 cases (19.78%) respectively. The highest number of admissions was during the month of December. Scald burn was the most common cause of burn injury in our study which accounted for 83 cases out of 91 cases (91.2%). Flame burn occured in 3(3.29%) patients. There were 2 cases of electric burn and 2 cases of contact burn during this study period. One patient was with chemical burn. Scald burn was the most common cause of burn injury in this study which accounted for 83 cases out of 91 cases (91.2%). Flame burn occured in 3(3.29%) patients. There were 2 cases of electric burn and 2 cases of contact burn during this study period. One patient was with chemical burn. Conclusion: The most frequently hospitalized burn patients were in the age group 3-5 years and more common during winter season. Most of the burn occured in children are scald in our country due to accidental fall of worm liquid. Superficial epidermal and dermal burns are treated conservatively, but deep burns may require surgical treatment. DS (Child) H J 2020; 36(2): 134-137

Background: The increasing trend in multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) during Covid-19 pandemic is alarming. Understanding the clinical course and outcome will give the clinical and public health implications of this syndrome. Objectives: This study was conducted to find out the clinical presentation, course of the disease and outcome of the children and adolescents of MIS-C. Methods: This observational study was conducted in the department of Pediatric Nephrology, Dhaka Shishu (Children) Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh, from August 2020 to October 2020. Total 12 children of MIS-C diagnosed according to WHO diagnostic criteria of MIS-C were included after taking written informed consent from the parents. Mean, median and standard deviation were calculated for the continuous variables. Results: The age ranged from 17 days to 13 years, 56% were male, 17% were positive for SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR and 4(33%) had history of the COVID-19 exposure. Organsystem involvement included bilateral pneumonia in 92%, myocarditis in 78%, swollen hands and feet in 67%, mucocutaneous involvement in 50%, diarrhea in 50%, musculoskeletal involvement in 50%, acute kidney injury (AKI) in 33% patients and acute pancreatitis in 25% patients. The median duration of hospitalization was 11 days and ICU stay was 5 days. Mean duration of fever was 8.66 days. Kawasaki’s diseaselike features were documented in 50% patients and 4 of them had elevated level of procalcitonin and troponin I. Markedly elevated C reactive protein (CRP), Ferritin and D dimer in all patients were present. All patients with cardiac involvement had left ventricular dysfunction and ejection fraction was as low as 38.5%. Coronary-artery dilatation was documented in 33%. About 67% received intensive care with oxygen support by low flow nasal cannula or face mask, 33% received vasoactive support and systemic glucocorticoid, 50% received intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) plus methyl prednisolone. Antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy was given in 75% and 33% patients respectively. Out of 12 patients 2 died, the contributing cause of death included complications like hypotension, shock, myocarditis, coagulopathy and AKI. Conclusion: MIS-C led to serious and life-threatening complications especially when there are cardiac involvement, hypotension and acute kidney injury. DS (Child) H J 2020; 36(2): 87-94
