There are many cases of complications after the COVID exposure occurring nowadays. One among is Post-COVID-19 Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C). As per CDC report till March 1, 2021, 2617 cases of MIS-C were meeting the definite case criteria and among 33 death cases were reported. Here we report a case of COVID-19 associated Multi-system inflammatory syndrome in a child (MIS-C) interpreted with WHO case definition criteria. The patient was a 7-year-old boy, with initial presentation of moderate fever, non-itchy red blanching rashes, breathlessness, later progressed to cardiogenic shock accompanied by positive SARS-CoV-2 antigen result. The emergency cardiogenic shock treatment protocol was followed with initial stabilization and resuscitation strategy. He was successfully managed by three days of IV Immunoglobulin 2g/kgand Methylprednisolone 2mg/kg/day therapy along with other supportive treatments. The patient was discharged after 20 days of hospital stay with improved health condition. Our case report will strengthen the exposure-outcome relations between the coronavirus infection and MIS-C, moreover the strategies carried out in our case will be a future direction for the effective management of MIS-C.","PeriodicalId":14503,"journal":{"name":"IP Indian Journal of Immunology and Respiratory Medicine","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77228671","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}

Among 1340 HCW, 1268 underwent RT-PCR testing, 540 serology testing and 431 underwent both testing. We identified 164 of 1268 positive RT-PCR and using serology testing 229 of 540 were seropositive. High seropositivity was observed in age group 26-45 years (44.9%) HCW, in males (65.9%), nurses (47.3%), and ward staff (48.6%). High seroprevalence in general population-76.07% in the 2nd wave compared to 1st wave (44.67%).

This was a prospective non-controlled interventional study that recruited COPD patients with ED between the ages of 49 and 79. International Index of Erectile Dysfunction Form (IIEF-5) was used for the evaluation of ED. Patients who had pulmonary artery systolic pressure >50 mmHg were included in the study. Single-dose Sildenafil 100 mg was administered orally to the patients. Before and after the drug ingestion, spirometry and echocardiographic measurements were performed, and serum BNP levels were measured as well. Forty-five male COPD patients with ED were included. Both percent predicted, and absolute FEV1 values increased significantly after the Sildenafil administration compared with baseline values (p<0.01). Similarly, the FEV1/FVC ratio also increased significantly with the Sildenafil administration compared to baseline values (p<0.01). Pulmonary artery systolic pressure significantly decreased from its baseline value with Sildenafil administration (p<0.01). Serum BNP values significantly reduced with Sildenafil administration compared to the pre-treatment values (p<0.01). This is the first study conducted in COPD patients with erectile dysfunction who had also pulmonary hypertension. The single-dose Sildenafil administration reduced PASP and serum BNP levels significantly. For the first time in the literature, we showed that the spirometric pulmonary function tests, namely FEV1 and FEV1/FVC ratio, improved significantly with the Sildenafil administration.","PeriodicalId":14503,"journal":{"name":"IP Indian Journal of Immunology and Respiratory Medicine","volume":"77 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82371600","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}

When isolated, it usually represents colonisation. In the presence of immunocompromising conditions, it can cause disease, ranging from mild illness to the highly fatal Cepacia syndrome. The organism is intrinsically resistant to many antibiotics. We report a 57 years old male farmer, who has diabetes mellitus and bronchial asthma, who presented with a acute history of high grade fever, pain abdomen and cough. He was diagnosed with a ruptured liver abscess, with the infection spreading to the right lower lobe. Laparotomy was performed. Pus culture grew Pseudomonas aeruginosa. He improved upon antibiotic therapy, only to return after one month with severe cough, chest X-ray revealing a lung abscess in the right lower lobe. Bronchoalveolar lavage culture grew Burkholderia cepacia, and sensitive antibiotics were initiated, however the patient succumbed to the illness. The implicated source of the organism was the nebulisation solution which he was using regularly. Emphasis should be laid on the need for improved aseptic practices while using medical solutions at either hospital or home setting. An index of suspicion may guide optimal antibiotic prescription practices in susceptible individuals.","PeriodicalId":14503,"journal":{"name":"IP Indian Journal of Immunology and Respiratory Medicine","volume":"92 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88087517","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}

Correct inhalation technique is crucial for effective clinical outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate and analyse technique of use of Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) and Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI) in patients with respiratory disease. This observational study was conducted at pulmonary outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital. 30 patients were enrolled using convenience sampling. Participants’ demographic and disease specific data was recorded. Participants were asked to use their inhaler just as they would at home. The technique of device use was observed and recorded using inhaler specific checklists. Data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Out of 30 patients 26 were using MDI, 23 of which (92%) performed at least 1 error. Among 4 patients using DPI, 3 (75%) performed at least 1 error. Patients using MDI for more than 1 year performed less errors compared to those who had been using MDI for less than 1 year, however the difference observed was not significant (n=26, p= 0.304). 29 patients (96%) received education about inhaler device use. The most common incorrectly performed steps were “complete exhalation” and “breath hold.” 92% of MDI and 75% of DPI users made at least one error during the inhalation maneuver despite majority being educated about inhaler technique. The most frequently performed incorrect steps for MDI and DPI were “Complete exhalation” and “Breath hold”.","PeriodicalId":14503,"journal":{"name":"IP Indian Journal of Immunology and Respiratory Medicine","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82118435","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}
