The study period was from January 2013 to December 2022. Children aged 6 months to 15 years, admitted in ICH, with a history of fever of any duration, whose blood culture revealed Salmonella species were included. Clinical symptoms, complications and the outcome of treatment were noted. Data were statistically analysed using SPSS software.Results: Around one third of the total study population presented with complications. Age group of 5-10 years was the most vulnerable for the infection and its complications. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement, hepato-biliary involvement and gastrointestinal (GI) involvement were the common complications.Conclusions: Enteric fever involved a broad spectrum of complications involving the CNS, hepato-biliary system and the GI system.","PeriodicalId":38870,"journal":{"name":"Sri Lanka Journal of Child Health","volume":"20 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140264694","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}

There are limited reports on paediatric AKI from the Indian subcontinent. \u0000Objective: To determine the incidence, aetiology and outcome in paediatric AKI using Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) criteria. \u0000Method: This prospective observational study was conducted in the PICU of a teaching hospital in Western Maharashtra, India, from July 2016 to June 2017 on patients aged 1 month to 17 years.\u0000Results: The incidence of AKI was 18.8% (80/426). The mean age was 70 ± 60 months. Most (66.3%) cases had stage I AKI and 54% developed AKI within 72 hours. Sepsis (35%), pneumonia (25%) and tropical febrile illnesses (18.7%) were the common aetiologies. Complete recovery (CR) was seen in 79% and partial recovery (PR) in 21%. CR was highest in stage I (91%) as compared to stages II and III (p=0.005). Mortality was 22% (18/80). Mortality significantly increased with the stage of AKI (p=0.003). Mechanical ventilation, inotrope support, shock and the stage of AKI had a significant association with mortality on bivariate analysis. Mechanical ventilation was found to be a significant independent predictor of mortality (p= 0.011). Renal replacement therapy was needed in 6 (8%) cases.\u0000Conclusions: About one-fifth of children admitted to ICU developed AKI and most experienced mild transient AKI. Moderate to severe AKI carried high mortality suggesting a dose-response effect. Infections remain the commonest cause and mechanical ventilation was an independent predictor of mortality.

Parental self-medication is today a significant paediatric public health problem contributing to global rise of antimicrobial resistance.Objectives: To assess the magnitude and determinants of parental self-medication among children attending a tertiary care hospital in Kolkata. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted on parents of 105 children attending the paediatric clinic of a tertiary care hospital in Kolkata. Universal sampling was employed. Parents were surveyed by face-to-face interview using a pre-tested semi-structured interview schedule validated by subject experts. Information on pattern, reasons, and perception of parental self-medication were elicited from the schedule. Microsoft Excel and STATA MP16 were used for statistical analysis. Results: Mean ages of the parents and their children were 31.79±5.6 years, and 5.3±2.9 years respectively. Prevalence of parental self-medication was 78.1% (95% CI: 69-85%). Analgesic-antipyretics were the most common type of medicine used during self-medication (77.1%), whereas prior experience in dealing with similar illness was the most common reason (42%) for practising self-medication. Higher educational levelof respondent parent and increased age of child (>3 years) were significantly associated with the practice of self-medication in bivariate analysis.Conclusions: Prevalence of parental self-medication was 78.1%. Analgesic-antipyretics were used during self-medication in 77.1% cases. Prior experience in dealing with similar illness was the reason for practising self-medication in 42% cases.
