Samples of treatment naïve patients with various clinical infections were included if they were positive for bacterial culture. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and zone of inhibitions (ZoIs) for each isolate were determined using Ezy MIC strip test and disk diffusion methods, respectively.

Escherichia coli (47.75%) was the most common organism isolated followed by Klebsiella (26%), Salmonella (7.75%), and Proteus mirabilis (3.75%). The mean MIC values for E. coli , Klebsiella , Staphylococcus , Citrobacter koseri , and Serratia marcescens were found to be lower when treated with cefotaxime compared with ceftriaxone, although the difference was not statistically significant. However, cefotaxime produced significantly ( p  < 0.05) more ZoI for E. coli , Klebsiella , and Salmonella as compared with ceftriaxone. Conclusion  Cefotaxime has shown better sensitivity profile in terms of MIC and ZoI to most of the isolated organisms as compared with ceftriaxone and thus can be preferred for empirical treatment of such patients.","PeriodicalId":16149,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Laboratory Physicians","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41248960","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}

The objective was to evaluate the influence of changes in serum cations and anions on clinical severity in SCD patients. Materials and Methods  The case–control study included 26 SCD cases and 27 apparently healthy control individuals. The cases were further grouped as crisis state and steady state cases. Each participant was assigned a disease severity score. All study participants were evaluated for serum electrolytes, osmolality, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, total protein, and albumin. Results  The mean serum sodium (135.65 mmol/L), chloride (99.88 mmol/L), calcium (2.28 mmol/L), magnesium (0.76 mmol/L), osmolality (285.19 mOsm/kg), and albumin (0.59 mmol/L) were grossly reduced in cases than the control group. The SCD crisis group recorded low serum sodium ( p  = 0.01), calcium ( p  = 0.011), total cations ( p  = 0.023), anions ( p  = 0.008), and cation–anion ratio ( p  = 0.041). Of all the cations, serum calcium correlated inversely with disease severity score ( r  = –0.367, p  = 0.033), whereas serum albumin among the serum anions influenced severity the most ( r  = –0.338, p  = 0.046). The cutoff values for serum calcium and albumin were, respectively, 2.41 and 0.63 mmol/L, with a sensitivity of 83.3 and 88.9%. A calculated ratio of serum sodium–albumin revealed a positive relationship with the severity score ( r  = 0.328, p  = 0.05) with a sensitivity of 94.4% for a cutoff value of 208.45.

Methods  The study utilized CSF samples from individuals brought for medicolegal autopsy. The 5-HIAA concentration was measured using a UV-HPLC method with three mobile-phase solvents. The most effective mobile phase solvent was then used to measure 5-HIAA in the CSF samples. Materials  The materials used in the study included CSF samples obtained from individuals brought for medico-legal autopsy, UV-HPLC equipment, and mobile phase solvents, including 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid (Merck/sigma), acetonitrile, concentrated formic acid, concentrated acetic acid, methanol, and phosphoric acid. Statistical Analysis  This was done using R Studio (version 4.2.0). Results  The study found that the UV-HPLC method utilizing formic acid (0.05–0.1%): acetonitrile in a 1:9 as mobile phase was the most effective for measuring 5-HIAA in human CSF. The method exhibited excellent linearity, accuracy, and precision. Conclusion  The study concludes that the developed UV-HPLC method is reliable and effective for measuring 5-HIAA in human CSF. Measuring 5-HIAA levels in CSF can serve as a potential biomarker for neurological and psychiatric illnesses, including depressive disorders with suicidal behavior. This method is promising for clinical and forensic practice to diagnose suicidal cases.
