Younger medical students are at a higher risk of exposure mainly because of their inexperience and ignorance. Both these infections are preventable if standard precautions and protocols for post-exposure prophylaxis are followed. The present study assesses the knowledge, and risk perception among medical students and interns towards HIV and HBV infections, to guide instructors in planning appropriate training programmes. Methods: Following approval of to respond to an indigenously designed questionnaire regarding HIV and HBV infections. Participation was voluntary and anonymous. The students were assessed vertically. Results: There was a gradual increase in the awareness regarding HIV and HBV infection with each passing academic year. The percentage of total questions answered correctly was highest (91.1%) in internship and lowest (71.5%) in the first semester. Awareness regarding HIV was greater as compared to HBV infection in all the groups. Interns had maximum awareness of post exposure prophylaxis available for both HIV and HBV infections. Ninth semester students scored the highest on pre-exposure prophylaxis for HBV infection. the interns may provide an opportunity to improve awareness, to reduce infection and subsequent morbidity. The students have greater awareness of HIV than HBV, though the risk of transmission is higher for the latter. Thus, shortcomings in imparting knowledge about hepatitis B must be identified and rectified.","PeriodicalId":32303,"journal":{"name":"Sri Lankan Journal of Infectious Diseases","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89833606","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}

During pre-pandemic time 28 (4.4%) were positive for hepatitis A, while it was 86 (10.2%) during the pandemic. There was a statistically significant difference in incidence between the two cohorts (p < 0.0001). The majority of patients in 2021 (25 patients;64.1%) resided in Badulla. Our data shows an increased incidence of hepatitis A cases during the pandemic, and residents in Badulla were predominantly affected in 2021.

However, there are reports on emergence of fluoroquinolone-resistant Salmonella isolates in various parts of Asia and low resistance to third-generation cephalosporins. The incidence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi) in India increased in the 1990s. After a decade, studies showed reduced MDR percentage. Hence this study was performed to detect antibiotic resistance patterns and associated genes among clinical isolates of Salmonella. Methods: A total of 171 clinical isolates of Salmonella isolates collected between 2011 to 2016 from a tertiary care hospital in Chennai, India were included. Antibiotic susceptibility testing and screening for extended-spectrum β-lactamase production was performed. Genes encoding resistance to β-lactam antibiotics (blaTEM, blaSHV, and blaCTX-M), chloramphenicol (cat, cmlA, and floR), co-trimoxazole (sul1, sul2, sul3, and dfr), and tetracycline (tet(A), tet(B), tet(C), tet(D), tet(E), and tet(G)) were detected using PCR and nucleotide sequencing analysis. Results: The majority of the isolates were susceptible to ACCoT antibiotics, cephalosporins, and carbapenems. Most of the isolates were resistant to nalidixic acid and 1.7% were sensitive to ciprofloxacin. All the isolates (n=171) were negative for ESBL. Multidrug resistance was seen in 4.1% isolates and all the MDR Salmonella isolates were found to contain blaTEM-1(TEM-1-type β-lactamase), cat, dfrA17, sul1, and tet(B) genes.","PeriodicalId":32303,"journal":{"name":"Sri Lankan Journal of Infectious Diseases","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87880630","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}
