CS can often save a patient's life, but there are chances of postoperative consequences such as surgical site infections (SSI). During this study we have determine the occurrence and risk factors associated surgical site infections in women undergoing CS. Methodology: This is a prospective study conducted in a tertiary care hospital. Total 280 women were selected whose undergoes elective or emergency CS during May 2023 – July 2023. Each woman was properly examined and followed for 7 days to developed SSI. Bacterial profile and antibiotics pattern were examined to relate other factors associated with SSI. Results: Among 280 candidate 59 candidate suspected for SSI which are 4.74%. after microbiological analysis 5 samples were failed to produce culture, 54 (5.18%) samples were identified as SSI. Among 54 samples 77. 78% (n=42) observed as Single bacterial infection and 22.22 (n=12) observed as Mixed bacterial infection. Among all Coagulase negative staphylococci spp (CoNS) showed the highest infection 22.23% followed by Staphylococcus aureus 16.95% highest infection was observed in higher age candidate (>30) 37.04%, rural candidate 59.26%, obese candidate 31.48% and Lower-class candidate 53.70%. Conclusion: This study showed the high incidence of SSI after CS which highlighted the urgent need of prevent and surveillance of SSI.

A 31-year-old man presented with a four-day history of decreased vision in his left eye. At the initial visit, the patient’s best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 1.2 and 0.02 in the right and left eye, respectively, along with a relative afferent pupillary defect in the left eye. Goldmann visual field testing revealed a central absolute scotoma and an enlarged blind spot in the left eye. Serological testing confirmed syphilis with rapid plasma reagin positivity. The patient was diagnosed with syphilitic optic neuritis and treated with intravenous penicillin G (24 million units daily) for two weeks. After two weeks of therapy, his left BCVA improved to 0.4 after two months. However, five months later, despite completing syphilis treatment, the patient developed acute painless visual loss in both eyes. His BCVA decreased to 0.8 and 0.05 in the right and left eyes, respectively. Goldmann visual field testing revealed a central absolute scotoma and an enlarged blind spot in both eyes. After two weeks, BCVA progressively declined to 0.4 in the right and 0.04 in the left eye. Furthermore, Goldmann visual field testing revealed an enlarged central absolute scotoma and blind spot in both eyes. Six months after the initial examination, his BCVA was counting fingers and 0.02 in the right and left eye, respectively. The optic discs appeared diffusely pale in both eyes. Genetic testing for LHON revealed a pathologic mtDNA 11778 point mutation. This case underscores the importance of considering the possibility of LHON if acute or subacute vision loss occurs subsequently or simultaneously in both eyes and remains unresponsive to treatment.","PeriodicalId":21448,"journal":{"name":"Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports","volume":" 673","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141823784","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}
