This study was to investigate the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and hepatitis D virus (HDV) among patients on highly active antiretroviral drug therapy (HAART). A total of 200 subjects currently on HAART and 50 non-HIV positive individuals (control subjects) aged 10-75 years were recruited for the study. Hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis C viral antibodies were screened with ACON test strip while HDV was screened with human hepatitis D virus ELISA kit. Demographic data of subjects were obtained with questionnaires. Determination of the CD4 counts was done using the Cytoflow counter. Among the test subjects, prevalence of HBV infection was 16(8%), HCV was 6(3%), mixed infection with HBV and HCV was 2(1%), and HDV was 0(0%). Among the control subjects, infection with HBV was 6(12%), 4(8%) for HCV and none for HDV or mixed infection. There was no statistically significant difference (p=0.491). Males had a higher occurrence of HBV infection 9(11.4%) and HCV infection 4(5.1%) than the females who had 7(5.8%) for HBV and 2(1.6%) for HCV, but this was not statistically significant (p=0.0879). Subjects with CD4 count range of 1401-1600 had the highest occurrence 1(20%) for HBV and 1201-1400 range for HCV 1(8.3%) but the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.504). In conclusion, infection with HBV and HCV is widespread among patients on HAART and routine screening is advocated for efficient management of the disease.

The current study was done to emphasize the need of early and aggressive surgical management for aspergilloma. This study included 26 cases of aspergilloma, over period of 4 years between 2013 and 2017 in TB Hospital Erranum, Hyderabad in the of Department of Cardio-thoracic Surgery. Of the 26 cases considered for the study there were 18 males and 8 females. 21 cases were diagnosed of TB, 4 cases of bronchiectasis and 1 case there was no obvious cause (detected on X ray as incidental finding). Hemoptysis was the most common presentation found in 20 cases, 4 cases presented with excessive sputum but no hemoptysis, 1 case diagnosed of TB did not present with hemoptysis or sputum production and 1 case was asymptomatic (incidentally detected on X-ray). All patients were taken up for surgical management via thoracotomy of which 21 cases underwent upper lobectomy (14 right, 7 left), 1 wedge resection, 1 pneumonectomy (left side). Post operatively 4 patients had bleeding, of which one was reopened for exploration and hemostasis. 1 patient developed empyema, 1 developed respiratory infection, 1 wound infection and one broncho plural fistula. One patient succumbed to death. To conclude, the most acceptable treatment of choice was found to be surgical intervention in the form of lobectomy, wedge resection or pneumonectomy. Early and aggressive intervention is the key for lower mortality and better survival.
