    Abstract Introduction: HIV infection is considered as one of the leading infectious cause of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and it exhibits higher rate of development of this condition than general population. The prevalence of HIV associated PAH has not been established accurately and varies based on factors such as geographical distribution, gender, duration of HIV and ART etc. This study aims to estimate the prevalence of PAH in HIV infected patients who are on first line ART and to study the association of PAH with CD4 count and viral load. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 150 HIV positive patients who visited medical OPD and ART centre, JLN medical college and hospital, Ajmer and were above 18 years of age and were on first line ART. PAH was identified through transthoracic doppler echocardiographic screening and systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) estimation of more than 35 mmHg was used to diagnose PAH. Result: In this study, out of 150 patients, PAH was diagnosed in 12 patients and hence the prevalence of PAH came out to be 8 % (95 % CI: 3.65; 12.34). Significant association of PAH has been observed with viral load (p value = 0.04). While no significant association has been found between PAH and CD4 count. Conclusion: PAH in HIV patients was found to be 8% which is considerably higher than the already established global prevalence. Hence, PAH should be an important consideration for clinicians in differential diagnosis of dyspnea in HIV patients.

    Abstract Background: There are increasing concerns about the adverse effects of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) on lipid profiles. Limited studies reported the adverse effects of HAART on lipid profiles from the Indian subcontinent. Methods: This observational study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in North Western India. The objective of the study was to find out the adverse effects on lipid profiles after HAART initiation in newly diagnosed HIV-infected children of immune stage III and IV in the 18 months to 16 year age group. These 43 children were evaluated every 3 months for lipid profile for 1 year. Results: There was a nonsignificant increase in total lipid and phospholipid levels and a statistically significant increase in triglycerides (TGs), cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) levels after initiation of HAART therapy and a statistically significant decline in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level after initiation of HAART therapy in immune phase III. The mean level of total lipid profile, phospholipids, cholesterol, HDL, LDL, VLDL, and TGs before starting of treatment was 474 mg/dl, 147 mg/dl, 126.8 mg/dl, 44.7 mg/dl, 94.3 mg/dl, 22.9 mg/dl, and110 mg/dl in immune stage IV, respectively. After starting treatment, the mean level of total lipid profile, phospholipids, cholesterol, HDL, LDL, VLDL, and TGs was 495.7 mg/dl, 164 mg/dl, 146.5 mg/dl, 38.9 mg/dl, 108.5 mg/dl, 28.9 mg/dl, and 127.3 mg/dl in immune stage IV, respectively. There was a statistically significant increase in total lipid, TG, phospholipid, cholesterol, LDL, and VLDL levels. There was a statistically significant decline in HDL level after initiation of HAART therapy in immune stage IV. Conclusions: We concluded that there was a significant alteration in lipid profile in HIV-infected children of immune stage III and IV with HAART.

    Abstract Background: Stroke is responsible for the largest proportion of neurological disorders causing a significant morbidity. Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) enzyme has an active involvement in atherosclerosis through its role in oxidative and inflammatory mechanisms. Recent evidence suggests that serum GGT is related to the risk and prognosis of cerebrovascular diseases.
    Methods: A total of 200 patients (100 with acute ischemic stroke and 100 without stroke) were recruited from various medical wards and medical intensive care unit. Categorical variables were compared between two groups using Chi-squared test and odds ratio (OR). Independent sample
    Results: There was no statistical difference with respect to distribution of age groups (
    Conclusions: Serum GGT was significantly higher in stroke patients than age-sex-matched nonstroke patients. Association remained significant in stroke patients irrespective of age, gender, and other risk factors. Stroke patients with diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, and smoking had higher level serum GGT level than those without these risk factors. Prospective cohort studies can further explore the potential of GGT as a predictor of acute ischemic stroke.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the use of umbilical cord blood culture (UCBC) as compared to neonatal blood culture (NBC) in the diagnosis of early onset neonatal sepsis (EONS).
    Methods: This hospital based prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Pediatrics and Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology at a tertiary care centre of North India from 2017 through 2018. A total of 80 newborns with presence of two or more risk factors for sepsis were included in the study. Blood culture samples were collected from the umbilical cord at delivery and from the neonate within 1 h of birth.
    Results: UCBC was positive in 17 (21.2%) neonates and NBC was positive in 15 (18.7%) neonates. Out of these positive cases, 10 (45.4%) neonates had similar bacteriological profile in both UCBC and NBC which included Burkholderia cepacia, Acinetobacter species, Enterobacter cloacae and Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus. UCBC had a sensitivity of 66.7%, a specificity of 89.2%, a positive predictive value 58.8% and a negative predictive value 92.1% for the diagnosis of EONS in high risk neonates, considering NBC as the gold standard test.
    Conclusions: UCBC is a reliable alternative to NBC for early etiological diagnosis of EONS in high risk neonates. Additional blood sampling from the newborn is suggested if there is any clinical sign of sepsis.

    Abstract Transcutaneous measurement of bilirubin is being used for neonatal jaundice. Its utility during phototherapy in preterm babies is not established. The objective of our study was to assess the efficacy of transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurement in comparison to total serum bilirubin in preterm newborns at admission and during phototherapy at the covered skin area (glabella). It was a prospective observational study and conducted at the neonatal intensive care unit of a tertiary care hospital from January 2017 to January 2019. One hundred eligible preterm neonates were enrolled. Babies who were very sick, with poor peripheral circulation, edematous, having conjugated hyperbilirubinemia, with major congenital malformations, already received phototherapy or exchange transfusion were excluded. Paired total serum bilirubin and transcutaneous bilirubin were measured at admission and 6 h and 24 h during phototherapy. TcB was measured from the area (glabella) covered by an eye protector during phototherapy. The sample for TsB was taken within 10 min of TcB measurement. The mean differences between TsB and TcB values at admission and 6 h and 24 h of phototherapy were - 0.005 (0.353) mg/dl, - 0.350 (0.611) mg/dl, and - 0.592 (0.353) mg/dl, respectively. At admission or before starting of phototherapy, the difference (TsB-TcB) was statistically not significant (p = .125), while the difference in these values was statistically significant at 6 h and 24 h of phototherapy.Conclusion: TcB measurements from the covered skin area in jaundiced preterm infants during phototherapy were not correlated with TsB and cannot be used as an alternate of serum bilirubin testing. What is known • HPLC bilirubin measurement is a gold standard test for bilirubin measurement but impractical for day to day use. Serum total bilirubin is used for clinical testing.. • There is evidence for use of transcutaneous bilirubinometry for assessment of bilirubin in term newborn. What is new • TcB measurements from a covered skin area in jaundiced preterm newborns under phototherapy were not correlated significantly at 6 h and 24 h of phototherapy, but correlated before phototherapy. • TcB cannot be used as an alternate of serum bilirubin testing in preterm infants during phototherapy.

    Abstract Objective: To study the clinical and laboratory profile and to assess period for viral clearance in COVID 19 children.
    Methods: We reviewed hospital records of children (<18 years) admitted from 1 April to 31 May, 2020 at a tertiary-care public hospital and identified those positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus (SARS-CoV-2) by RT-PCR of respiratory secretions.
    Results: 81.2% of the 85 children studied were asymptomatic and 3 (8.5%) died. Severe lymphopenia (43.8%), raised C-reactive protein (93.8%), raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate (75%) and high (>500ng/mL) levels of D-dimer (37.5%) were common. Median (IQR) duration of viral shedding was 7 (5-10) days, with range of 2 to 45 days; 96.3% had viral clearance within 14 days.
    Conclusions: Majority of children aged <18 years with SARS-CoV-2 infection had viral clearance within 14 days.

    Abstract Background: The current cross-sectional study analyses patients' plasma iron measurements and spirometry to determine the relationship between serum iron, percent transferrin saturation, serum ferritin, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and forced expiratory flow (FEF 25–75%), forced expiratory volume 1(FEV1)/Forced vital capacity (FVC), FVC, and FEV1. Methods: Spirometry measurements were assessed by comparing reference values based on age, height, sex, and race. Descriptive analysis of data included percentages, means, and standard deviations. Multivariate analyses were done using the Pearson correlation test and the multiple linear regression method. Results: According to the findings, the average age of those who participated in the study was 59.63 ± 10.32 years old. Serum iron concentrations were shown to be extremely significant and positively correlated with the percent anticipated values of FVC, FEV1/FVC FEV1, and FEF (25–75%). The total iron-binding capacity was extremely significant and linked strongly with the percent expected values of FVC, FEV1, FEF (25–75%), and FEV1/FVC. The percent transferrin saturation was extremely significant and linked positively with the percent anticipated values of FVC, FEV1, FEF (25–75%), and FEV1/FVC. Conclusion: Plasma iron levels were independently linked with both FEV1 and FEF (25–75%) percent predicted in the current investigation. Consequently, the blood iron concentration in COPD patients can be utilized as a biomarker for assessing disease severity because it is relatively simple and inexpensive.

    Abstract Aim: To find changes in hematologic parameters in patients who are COVID-19-positive with respect to high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) chest scan so that the exact picture of the disease course can be identified and an adequate treatment protocol can be planned to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Methods: Patients' health-related data including age, gender, symptomatology, associated co-morbidities, laboratory test results and HRCT results were collected.
    Results: The radiologic findings showed ground glass opacities (GGOs) was the most common manifestation. Analysis of HRCTs of patients with COVID-19 showed that lesions were mainly confined to the right and left lower lobes, suggesting that the COVID-19 virus is mainly harbored in the basal areas of the lungs.
    Conclusion: Radiologic and laboratory investigations can greatly help in early detection of COVID-19, thus allowing for timely interventions.
