The incidence of scabies has been found to vary from time to time. The aboriginal population in all countries and in both rural and urban areas is particularly at risk because of a number of factors such as crowded housing, shared beds, and crowded schools, etc. Aim: To study incidence and sociodemographic profile of scabies in pediatric patients with different age groups attending secondary health care hospital. Material and Methods: This prospective study was conducted over a period of 8 months on paediatric patients with scabies attending Skin and Paediatric OPD. Family history, per capita income, literacy and hygiene history was noted. Results: Scabies was found in 164 (62.1%); 92 (34.8%) and 8 (3%) cases with economic states of poor; average and good respectively. Overcrowding was noted in 238 (90.2%) and was absent in (9.8%).More commonly associated inpatients with poor and average hygiene (99.5%) than in the good hygiene. Conclusion: The important predisposing factors were overcrowding and poor hygiene. It was common in poor economic group. Thus, improving the socioeconomic conditions, hygiene, avoiding overcrowding and proper treatment of cases and close contacts who are the sources of infection to children help in preventing scabies in children.

Although the presentation in adults follows a fairly distinctive pattern (but is also frequently missed), infants and young children have a more varied presentation and so are more easily misdiagnosed.2 It is essentially a disease of children. Among children, the prevalence is highest in the age group below 5 years. The incidence of scabies has been found to vary from time to time. There is a decreasing prevalence with increasing age.1 Though earlier workers had reported higher incidence in different sexes, more recent studies have shown that there is no preponderance in either sex.1,3 As human scabies is contracted mainly by direct human contact, a pruritic rash in a family member should be pursued, keeping in mind that only one half to two thirds of family members become clinically infected.4 The aboriginal population in all countries and in both rural and urban areas is particularly at risk because of a number of factors such as crowded housing, shared beds, and crowded schools and day","PeriodicalId":349984,"journal":{"name":"MedPulse International Journal of Pediatrics","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128982579","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}

Typhoid is a multi systemic bacterial illness caused by Salmonella species, subspecies enterica and serovar typhi. Aims and Objectives: To study Profile of the patients with Typhoid Fever in pediatric patients at Tertiary Care center. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study carried out in the department of pediatrics at tertiary health care centre during the one year period i.e. March 2017 to March 2018, in the one year period all the patients with fever were screened for typhoid fever all of them undergone routine tests with widal test. Those patients showing widal test positive and supported clinical features were considered to classify the patients as typhoid. So during the one year period 181 patients included into study. The details of the patients like age, sex, clinical features were noted entered to excel sheets and analyzed by excel software for windows 10. Result: In our study we have seen that the majority of the of the patients were in the age group of 9-12 were 29.83%, followed by 6-9 Were 24.86%; 3-6 were 20.99%, 1-3 were 13.81%, <1 were 10.50%. The majority of the were males i.e. 58.01% followed by 41.99% were females. The most common clinical features were Fever -100%, followed by Vomiting in 85%, Diarrhea in 78%, Weakness in 65%, Coated tongue in 59%, Hepatomegaly in 48%; Splenomegaly in 41%; Rash on the skin in 30%. Conclusion: The majority of the of the patients were in the age group of 9-12 Yrs. of age, majority of the patients were male and most common clinical features were Fever, Vomiting, Diarrhea, Weakness, Coated tongue, Hepatomegaly, Splenomegaly.

A milder form of the disease is caused by serovars paratyphi A, B and C. About 26.9 million typhoid cases and more than 2 lakh deaths occur each year, with majority of the cases reported in Asia.2 The incidence of typhoid varies substantially within Asia, with a very high incidence noted in India and Pakistan. 3 Low standards of living and poor hygiene practices have contributed to the disease burden and made India endemic to typhoid fever. For developing countries like India, it is a big public health problem as the sanitation and public health standards are poor.
