    Abstract Leakage of methyl isocyanate from the Union Carbide plant in Bhopal, India, killed thousands and left deleterious trans-generational effects. Gas-exposed populations experience higher rates of lung and metabolic diseases, and immune dysregulation, all associated with adverse outcomes in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We used publicly available, official data from government sources to estimate COVID-19-associated crude mortality in populations with and without a history of gas exposure. Overall, there were 1240 deaths among patients hospitalized with known COVID-19 in Bhopal, of which 453 (36.53%) were in gas-exposed individuals, 726 (58.55%) were in gas-unexposed individuals and the exposure status of 61 (4.92%) individuals could not be determined. There were 351 and 375 deaths in gas-unexposed people in the first (April 2020-February 2021) and second (March 2021-July 2021) waves, respectively; in the gas-exposed population, there were 300 and 153 deaths in the two respective waves. The overall annualized crude mortality of COVID-19 was 3.84 (95% CI 3.41 to 4.33) times higher in the gas-exposed population at 83.6 (95% CI 76.1 to 91.7) per 100 000 compared with the gas-unexposed population, at 21.8 (95% CI 20.2 to 23.4) per 100,000. When stratified by age, compared with unexposed people, the gas-exposed individuals experienced 1.88 (95% CI 1.61 to 2.21) and 1.24 (95% CI 1.02 to 1.50) times the mortality rates in the age groups of 35-65 and >65 y, respectively. These findings indicate that gas-exposed individuals are likely to have a higher risk of severe COVID-19 and death and need to be specifically targeted and recognized for preventive and promotive efforts.

    Abstract Leukemia cutis is a comprehensive terminology for dermal manifestations of any type of leukemia either with accompanied or antecedent blood or bone marrow involvement. Although both myeloid and lymphoid neoplastic leukocytes can infiltrate the skin, the frequency is higher among children with congenital myeloid leukemia. However, the underlying pathogenesis of dermal tropism is not yet established. Clinical manifestation varies regarding appearance, site, and numbers. Skin biopsy is essential for the early establishment of the diagnosis and to guide for further testing and categorical management. We report the case of acute myeloid leukemia-cutis in a 22-year-old female where cutaneous manifestation preceded the hematological diagnosis of systemic leukemia.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the incidence and types of primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs) in hospitalized children with infection.
    Methods: This prospective study was conducted in five tertiary-care facilities in Kolkata over two consecutive years between November 1, 2018 and October 31, 2020. We included all children aged upto 12years who were hospitalized and screened them for PID. Children were screened for suspected IPD using Jeffrey Modell Foundation (JMF) Criteria; any child who satisfied at least 2 out of 10 warning signs was further evaluated for PIDs.
    Results: Out of 33,204 hospital admissions, 50 children satisfied JMF criteria. Out of 50 children screened during the study period, 27 were finally diagnosed with an underlying PID, with a prevalence of 1 in 1000 hospitalized children. Majority (37.03%) of them had antibody deficiency followed by phagocytic defect (33.3%). Chronic granulomatous disease was the commonest PID followed by common variable immunodeficiency. Around 62.97% children presented with respiratory infections and overall Acinetobacter baumannii was the commonest isolated organism.
    Conclusion: Our study presents the first cohort of PID from eastern India. A methodical step-wise clinical and diagnostic approach can facilitate early diagnosis and timely therapeutic interventions.

    Abstract Mass drug administration (MDA) of antimicrobials has shown promise in the reduction and potential elimination of a variety of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). However, with antimicrobial resistance (AMR) becoming a global crisis, the risks posed by widespread antimicrobial use need to be evaluated. As the role of the environment in AMR emergence and dissemination has become increasingly recognized, it is likewise crucial to establish the role of MDA in environmental AMR pollution, along with the potential impacts of such pollution. This review presents the current state of knowledge on the antimicrobial compounds, resistant organisms, and antimicrobial resistance genes in MDA trials, routes of these determinants into the environment, and their persistence and ecological impacts, particularly in low and middle-income countries where these trials are most common. From the few studies directly evaluating AMR outcomes in azithromycin MDA trials, it is becoming apparent that MDA efforts can increase carriage and excretion of resistant pathogens in a lasting way. However, research on these outcomes for other antimicrobials used in MDA trials is sorely needed. Furthermore, while paths of AMR determinants from human waste to the environment and their persistence thereafter are supported by the literature, quantitative information on the scope and likelihood of this is largely absent. We recommend some mitigative approaches that would be valuable to consider in future MDA efforts. This review stands to be a valuable resource for researchers and policymakers seeking to evaluate the impacts of MDA.
