Early recognition and diagnosis of early onset neonatal sepsis (EONS) is difficult. Hence, there is a need for early predictive screening method for EONS, for which Haematological Scoring System (HSS) is used. It comprises of total leucocyte count, immature / total neutrophil ratio, total PMN count, immature PMN count, degenerative changes in PMN and platelet count. Methods: 100 inborn neonates with two or more risk factors for EONS, chosen by sequential sampling method were included in this prospective analytical study. Blood samples were collected from umbilical cord and peripheral vein and analysed for haematological parameters. Blood cultures were performed as gold standard for diagnosing neonatal sepsis and sepsis screen was done to corroborate the diagnosis of EONS. Results: Out of 100 neonates, 21 had sepsis, 14 had probable sepsis and 65 had no sepsis. Among the variables of HSS it was observed that elevated I:T ratio, thrombocytopenia, elevated I:M ratio and elevated immature neutrophil count have shown significant correlation with EONS with statistically significant p values (p value < 0.05), with raised I:T ratio being highly sensitive in identifying neonatal sepsis and degenerative changes in neutrophils being highly specific. Conclusions: The HSS was found to be satisfactory in identifying EONS. It can be used as a simple, quick, cost effective and readily available screening test with decent sensitivity and high specificity, for detection of EONS.","PeriodicalId":39140,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nepal Paediatric Society","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136071385","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}

Severity of these dermatoses vary from location to location. Environment plays an important role, especially in children and presentation of these dermatoses maybe quite different than those in adults. Methods: This is a six months prospective study. All children who presented to the Paediatrics / Dermatology OPD with any skin ailment were included. Diagnosis was done clinically, investigations if required were done. Based on age, cases were divided into six groups. Skin disorders were categorized into 17 groups. The demographic data and other clinical details were recorded on a pre-designed performa. Results: 206 children were included in our study. Males were 136 (66.01%) and females were 70 (33.98%) with M:F ratio 1.94:1. The spectrum of skin diseases were infections and exanthems (40.29%), eczematous diseases (19.41%), disorders of sebaceous and sweat glands (13.10%), papulosquamous diseases (6.31%), hypersensitivity syndromes (5.82%), disorders of pigmentation (5.33%), disorders of hair and nail (3.39%), cutaneous tumor and tumor syndromes (1.94%), vascular disorders (1.45%), disorders of cornification (0.97%), photo-dermatoses(0.97%), histiocytosis and malignant skin tumors (0.48%), and miscellaneous (0.48%). Dermatoses according to age were neonatal (0.97%), infant (4.36%), toddlers (9.70%), preschool (18.44%), school-age-children (30.58%), and adolescents (35.92%). Conclusions: Skin infections and infestations being the majority explains the status of developing countries like India.

Control of seizures with antiepileptic drugs, reassurance for compliance to drugs, regular monitoring of adverse effects of drugs in patient with established seizure can be possible through telemedicine. The main objective of this study was to evaluate feasibility of telemedicine for follow up of children with established seizure disorder. Methods: This study was conducted among children of age one to 16 years with an established seizure due to any cause presenting to the Paediatric Neurodevelopmental OPD of Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH) between October 1, 2018 and September 30, 2020. Mobile phone as a modality of telemedicine was used to inquire about seizure every month for 12 months and whenever necessary. Results: When parameters as seizure control, total cost and time spent per hospital visit, distance to TUTH were analyzed, more than 75% caregivers were satisfied with telemedicine. Greater age, appropriate development, focal onset of seizure, normal electroencephalogram and seizure adequately controlled by single antiepileptic drug were the favorable factors in better seizure control in children using telemedicine. Conclusions: Telemedicine for follow up of children with established seizure disorder seems to be a feasible and satisfactory option when implemented with caution and proper patient selection as it decreases unnecessary high expenses and time to hospital visit","PeriodicalId":39140,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nepal Paediatric Society","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136072813","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 very few studies on incidence of AKI based on urine output criteria of KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcome) and time lag between the fall in urine output and rise in serum creatinine. This study was therefore aimed at determining the same. Methods: A prospective study was conducted in the Department of Paediatrics of a tertiary care hospital. 171 critically ill children between one to 14 years who were admitted in PICU were enrolled. Hourly urine output and eight hourly serum creatinine levels were measured and incidence of AKI was calculated along with lag time between fall in urine output and rise in serum creatinine. Outcome of children with AKI was also studied. Data analysis was done using SPSS software version 25.0 and Microsoft excel 2007. Results: The mean age + SD of children in the study was 5.5 years ± 3.76 with a range of one to 14 years, with 62.6 % of them being boys. The incidence of AKI in the study population was 14.62%. The mean lag time between fall in urine output and rise in serum creatinine was found to be 13.21 hours. AKI had a significant association with mortality, use of nephrotoxic drugs, inotropes and mechanical ventilation. Conclusions: A significant number of critically ill children develop AKI and its occurrence portends a poor outcome.
