This study was done to assess the role of immunohistochemistry in diagnosis and subtyping of acute leukemias in resource poor setting using selected IHC markers and to find diagnostic accuracy of morphologic diagnosis. Material and methods: The study was done on 45 selected cases of acute leukemia. Immunohistochemistry was done on all cases for typing and confirmation of diagnosis after morphological examination of peripheral blood smears and all three bone marrow preparations.A limited panel of IHC markers were used including Anti MPO, Anti CD3, Anti CD20, Anti CD22, Anti TdT, Anti CD117, Anti CD15 and Anti CD68(KP1) for immunohistochemistry. Results: The accuracy of morphological diagnosis in cases of AML and ALL in the study was 84.09% and 82.22% respectively. By intercalating immunohistochemical studies with morphological examination almost all cases of acute leukemia can be diagnosed and subclassified, and diagnostic accuracy is increased as compared to morphological examination alone. Conclusion: Though morphology remains the gold standard for paraffin embedded bone marrow trephines,immunohistochemical staining has became an integral part of diagnostic workup in cases of hematologic malignancies in limited resource settings.","PeriodicalId":13918,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research [IJCMR]","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80493542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Material and Methods: 80 cases of pterygium were included in this study. Study was done over a period of 12 months from December 2018 to November 2019 at a tertiary care ophthalmic centre of Northern India. In this study, three doses of 2.5 mg of bevacizumab were administered sub-conjunctivally at monthly interval under topical anaesthesia on Outdoor Patient Department basis. Standard aseptic measures were observed. Results: Cases were followed up next day after each injection and thereafter on monthly basis for three months and finally after 06 months of first injection. Progression of pterygium was noted in 8 cases. Subconjunctival haemorrhage was noted in 41 cases. Conjunctival cyst was seen in three cases which were punctured in OPD, however recurrence was noted after one month in one case. No rise in Intra Ocular Pressure (IOP) was noted.

Presence of anemia in diabetes is due to the disease itself rather than usual causes of anemia. Apart from causing usual symptoms, anemia also increases the risk of cardiovascular disease in diabetics. Here, we have conducted a study to compare the presence of anemia in patients with Diabetes, with that in healthy population. Material and Methods: A case-control study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital setting in Vadodara,Gujarat. A total of 120 patients were enrolled, of which 60 were cases who had Diabetes Mellitus type 2 and 60 were healthy controls, matched for age and gender. A detailed clinical history and examination was done for both cases and controls. Blood investigations in form of a complete hemogram, thin peripheral smear, blood sugar and serum creatinine was done. Only individuals with normal serum creatinine levels were included in the study. Comparison was done between the two groups for the presence of anemia, in absence of renal involvement. Results: Anemia was more prevelant in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus when compared to controls (Odds Ratio = 2.04, P < 0.05). On comparing the anemic cases and controls in both genders, the Odds ratio for males and females was 2.14 and 2.04 respectively with P < 0.05.
