Symptoms of HFMD include fever, mouth ulcers and skin rash. It is usually mild and self-limiting but some people may have a serious illness that requires hospitalization due to neurological complications and severe organ impairment, which can result in long-term morbidity and mortality. In rare cases, it can even lead to death. There is no specific treatment for severe cases of HFMD. Objective of the study was to evaluate the Clinico-etiological features and immediate outcome of HFMD. This cross-sectional observational study was conducted at the Outpatient department of Paediatrics and department of Dermatology and Venereology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), Dhaka, Bangladesh. The sample included 87 children with clinically diagnosed HFMD aged between 1 month and 12 years. Written parental consent was obtained after primary selection and a detailed medical history and physical examination were performed on each participant. All information collected was recorded in a semi-structured questionnaire and the data was analyzed with SPSS version 22.0. The chi-square test was used as a statistical test and a p-value 0.05 was considered significant. The 87 HFMD patients had a Mean age 2.40±2.0 years, with 69.0% male and 31.0% female. The male to female ratio was 2.2:1. Most patients were from urban areas, followed by 2.3% from rural areas. 92.0% of the children were from middle-income families. According to the clinical information, 100% of patients had fever, rash and oral ulcers. High grade fever (≥101.30°F) had in 66.7% and low grade fever (<101.30°F) had in 33.3%. Rash was noted in 100.0% of patients on the hand, 90.8% on the feet, 82.8% on the knee and 79.3% on the buttocks. The rash was painful in 74.7% of cases and itchy in 73.6% of cases. Painful oral ulcers occurred in 80.5% of cases and painless oral ulcers in 19.5% of cases. This study found that Coxsackie virus A6 (Cox A 6) was the most important etiologic agent in 87 clinically diagnosed HFMD patients. Of the 87 patients, 78(89.7%) were RT-PCR positive, including Cox A 6 [75(86.2%)], Cox A 16 [1 (1.1%)], other enterovirus 2[2nd (3.0%)] and only 9(10.3%) patients RT-PCR negative. The immediate outcome was fever resolved within 5 days in most patients (58.6%) and within 5-7 days in 23.0%. The rash resolved within 7 days in 68.8% of cases (completely resolved in 24.1% of cases, 24.1% resolved but hyper-pigmented areas, 14.9% hypo-pigmented areas and 5.7% had mild lesions). Oral ulcerations resolved within 5 to 7 days in 51.8% of cases, followed by 24.1% within 5 days. No complications were found in the examined patients. The prognosis was usually good.</p>","PeriodicalId":94148,"journal":{"name":"Mymensingh medical journal : MMJ","volume":"35 3","pages":"783-794"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148355157","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}

Primary total hip arthroplasty has advantages with little or no comorbidities because it gives good functional outcomes. The study was aimed to assess the outcome of primary total hip arthroplasty in displaced fracture neck of femur in elderly patients. This quasi-experimental study was conducted at National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation (NITOR), Dhaka, from March 2021 to September 2023 among 30 patients with displaced fracture neck of femur, aged 60 years or more. All the cases underwent primary total hip arthroplasty by lateral Hardinge approach and were evaluated by clinical features, imaging by X-ray and Harris Hip Score (HHS). Six months follow up was done with clinical and functional assessment. The mean age was 62.5±2.58 years with a male predominance (53.0%). The main cause of injury was fall on ground (77.0%) and most cases there were left side involvement (57.0%). The mean interval between injury and surgery was 18.5±6.85 days. Complications were 2(7.0%) superficial wound infection and 2(7.0%) abductor weakness. In the last follow up after operation, 84.0% cases had no pain and 16.0% cases have complained slight pain.

A pre-tested, semi-structured, questionnaire was used to collect data for knowing their socio-demographic characteristics and practice of family planning methods. Out of 678 respondents, maximum (41.45%) mother were in the age group of 21-25 years. Almost all (96.00%) were Muslim. In terms of education 42.63% mothers were primary passed. Participants were mainly house wives (80.24%) and two-third (65.00%) mothers belong to nuclear family. Maximum mothers (42.92%) belongs to lower socio-economic class (10001-20000 taka).
