Background: Malaria still occurs in West Bengal which is one of the states in the eastern part of India. Materials and Methods: The study design included an analysis of the 2017 and 2018 annual reports of the National Centre for Vector Borne Disease Control (NCVBDC). Results: The district of Kolkata had a high Annual Parasite Incidence (API) of Malaria of 3.72 during 2017 which decreased to 3.12 in 2018. Conclusion: If interventions such as the treatment of asymptomatic carriers take place, it is expected that the API will come down sooner in Kolkata district and in the rest of the state too.

Background: Various studies have reported a correlation (both positive and negative) between the status of anemia and lipid profile. Studies observed that the lipoproteins levels were significantly lower in anemic patients, and this reduction was proportional to the severity of anemia and not related to the type of anemia. Objectives: To study the lipid profile among the anemia patients and the correlation between the severity of the anemia and lipid subfractions. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study among 85 subjects with anemia in a Tertiary care hospital, who satisfied the eligibility criteria. After detailed history, clinical examination and blood investigations including blood counts, hemoglobin, and lipid profile were done. Results: The mean hemoglobin (g/dL) among the subjects was 7.86 (±2.03) g/dL ranging from 3 to 11 g/dL. Among the 85 subjects, 35 (41.18%) had dimorphic anemia followed by 21 (24.71%) had microcytic hypochromic anemia, 15 (17.65%) had normocytic hypochromic anemia, and 14 subjects (16.47%) had normocytic normochromic anemia. Body mass index was not significantly associated with the type and severity of anemia. Lipid subfractions were not associated with the type of anemia and significantly decreased with an increase in the severity of anemia. Conclusion: The lipid profile parameters in our study were not associated with type of anemia and significantly decreased with an increase in the severity of anemia.

Context: Healthcare workers (HCWs) were at the front line of the COVID-19 (corona virus disease-19) pandemic management and were at higher risks of contracting SARS-CoV-2 due to occupational exposure. The objectives of the present study were to estimate the antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 among COVID-19-positive HCWs and its persistence in subsequent follow-up samples and to compare antibody response between rapid antigen/real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) groups. Settings and Designs: This hospital-based cross-sectional study was carried out in Assam Medical College. Materials and Methods: Inclusion criteria were SARS-CoV-2 test, which was confirmed in HCWs. A total of 127 HCWs were included. The samples were tested for SARS-CoV-2 IgG by qualitative indirect ELISA using InBios SCoV-2 DetectTM IgG kit. First sample was collected from 25th day to 35th day of SARS-CoV-2. First and second follow-up samples were collected in 3 and 6 months, respectively. Statistical Analysis Used: Epi Info version 7 was used. The χ2 test was done. Results: A total of 69% male and 31% female HCWs were included. Most of them were in the 20–29 years age group (48%). About 92% were symptomatic and 20% had comorbidities. Overall seroconversion was 88% (RAT category 98.61% and RT-PCR 74.55%). Symptomatic category showed 90.68% seropositivity. The follow-up at the 3rd and 6th month showed 93.85% and 88.24% seropositivity, respectively. Conclusion: Rapid antigen test-positive symptomatic people have more chances of development of antibodies within a period of 1 month and sustained for more than 6 months in their blood.
背景:卫生保健工作者(HCWs)处于COVID-19(冠状病毒病-19)大流行管理的第一线,由于职业暴露,感染SARS-CoV-2的风险较高。本研究的目的是评估covid -19阳性医护人员对SARS-CoV-2的抗体反应及其在后续随访样本中的持久性,并比较快速抗原/实时聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)组之间的抗体反应。环境和设计:这项以医院为基础的横断面研究在阿萨姆邦医学院进行。材料和方法:纳入标准为SARS-CoV-2检测,经卫生保健工作者确认。共包括127名医护人员。采用InBios SCoV-2 DetectTM IgG试剂盒,采用定性间接ELISA法检测SARS-CoV-2 IgG。第一次采集时间为SARS-CoV-2感染第25天至第35天。第一次和第二次随访分别于3个月和6个月采集样本。使用统计分析:使用Epi Info version 7。采用χ2检验。结果:共纳入了69%的男性和31%的女性卫生保健员。其中大多数在20-29岁年龄组(48%)。约92%有症状,20%有合并症。总血清转化率为88% (RAT分类为98.61%,RT-PCR为74.55%)。症状型血清阳性率为90.68%。随访第3、6个月血清阳性率分别为93.85%和88.24%。结论:快速抗原检测阳性症状者在1个月内出现抗体的机会较多,且抗体在其血液中持续6个月以上。

Symmetrical drug-related intertriginous and flexural exanthema (SDRIFE), previously known as Baboon syndrome, is a symmetrical erythematous rash on the gluteal and intertriginous areas observed after exposure to systemic drugs. This was the case of a 35-year-old woman who presented to medicine OPD (outpatient department) of Assam Medical College and Hospital (AMCH), Dibrugarh with a history of a macular rash over the right and left armpit and right upper back, buttocks and inner aspect of the left thigh.

In general, research activities are essential, but it is equally important to ensure that the research findings are shared with different researchers across the world. In simple terms, referencing refers to giving credit to the intellectual work of a person/s or the source of information. Referencing is a strategy that tends to provide support to the statements made by the researchers in their own work. It is one of the most effective strategies to reduce the incidence of plagiarism, as it gives an opportunity for the authors to let the readers know about the ideas which are theirs and those which are contributions of other researchers. To conclude, referencing is an important aspect of the research writing and has been linked with multiple benefits to the authors, readers, and other researchers. Thus, it is our responsibility to envisage citation of appropriate references in the research work, so that more people become aware of the similar kind of works and replicate them in their individual settings.

Background: The type of pathogens responsible for opportunistic infections in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected persons varies from region to region. Till date, very few studies covering respiratory tract infections in HIV-positive patients have been conducted in this part of the country. This study was conducted in order to get better understanding of the clinical picture of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) in HIV-positive patients in this region. Aim: The aim was to study the LRTIs in HIV-positive patients. Settings and Design: Eighty-one patients were diagnosed as HIV-positive with LRTIs, attending to Department of Medicine at Assam Medical College and Hospital, Dibrugarh, Assam, India. Materials and Methods: Personal and family history was collected with emphasis on the duration of HIV-positive status, any chronic illness, sexually transmitted diseases, history of blood transfusions, or any surgical procedures. A detailed general and systemic examination was done. Statistical Analysis Used: The data collected were tabulated in MS Excel and analyzed using SPSS 20.0. The categorical variables were summarized as frequency and percentages. Results: Mycobacterium tuberculosis was responsible for 18.52% of cases of LRTIs, whereas fungal etiology was found in 7.41% of the cases. The most common bacterial and fungal pathogens isolated were Streptococcus pneumoniae (23.46%) and Candida albicans (7.41%), respectively. Conclusion: Low CD4 cell count is an important indicator for the risk of pulmonary tuberculosis and fungal LRTIs, as shown in our study. Periodic CD cell count in HIV-positive patients is important in this regard.

Study Objective: To determine the prognostic significance of a new score (CO-RABS), formulated by our Institute to classify the covid patients into mild, moderate, severe cases and also to compare it with the conversion AIIMS based classification. Patients and Methods: This is a retrospective study in which we have collected data from the medical records of patients who were admitted in our Hospital with covid infection during 2nd and 3rd waves of the pandemic. We have taken Comorbidities (CO), Respiratory rate (R), Age (A), Blood pressure (B) and SpO2 (S) of the patients at the time of admission to calculate an overall score (Abbreviated as CO-RABS). Basing on this score, the patients were classified into mild, moderate and severe cases. We then compared our CO-RABS score based classification with AIIMS classification using a statistical software. Results: We studied 727 patients (440 men, 287 women) and 99 patients died due to covid related complications. The ability to predict the prognosis was higher for our newly formulated CO-RABS score when compared to AIIMS classification. (AUC of CO-RABS 0.88 vs 0.82 of AIIMS; p < 0.05). Conclusion: The ability of CO-RABS score to predict the prognosis of covid infection is higher than that of AIIMS/ICMR classification. Hence it can be used as a supportive tool in the covid management protocol along with all the other conversion modes of treatment.
