    Abstract Background: Polycystic kidney disease (PKD), an inheritance disorder which is the fourth leading cause of the end-stage renal disease. The inheritance pattern can be diagnosed and confirmed by pedigree analysis. The aim of the present research was to determine the type and frequency of PKD using pedigree analysis.
    Materials and methods: The present research was designed as a cross-sectional descriptive study. Thirty-eight adult Bangladeshi PKD patients were recruited using a selection checklist from the Department of Nephrology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Data were collected using a data collection sheet after taking informed written consent. The pedigree was drawn using the genetic pedigree chart creation software f-tree V4.0.6. The percentage frequencies of different types of pedigree were calculated using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software, version 23.
    Results: A total of 24 (63.20%) had a positive family history and 36.80% (14) had no positive family history. All of the patients with a positive family history had vertical transmission; male and female were equally inheriting the gene. Out of these 24 patients, 4.17% (one), 8.33% (two), and 16.67% (four) had a homozygous/heterozygous state, skip generation, and male to male transmission, respectively.
    Conclusions: Pedigree analysis of PKD patients showed an increased value in early diagnosis and better management and prognosis of the disease.

    Abstract Diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) through the detection of its causative agents namely Leishmania donovani and L. infantum is traditionally based on immunochromatographic tests, microscopy of bone marrow, spleen aspirates, liver or lymph node and differential diagnosis. While the first process has low specificity, the later one carries the risk of fatal hemorrhage. Over the last decade, multiple Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) based diagnosis has been developed using blood and urine sample with a varying degree of sensitivity and specificity, an issue worth improving for precision diagnosis. Earlier, we reported a PCR-based diagnosis of L. donovani in peripheral blood using a novel set of PCR primers with absolute specificity. Using the same set of primers and PCR conditions, here we describe diagnosis of L. donovani from urine, for a non-invasive, rapid and safe diagnosis. Diagnosis of VL was carried out using urine samples collected from clinically diagnosed VL patients (n = 23) of Bangladesh in Real Time PCR. Test results were validated by comparing blood samples from the same set of patients. Sensitivity and specificity of this diagnosis was analyzed using retrospective bone marrow samples, collected earlier from confirmed VL patients (n = 19). The method showed 100% sensitivity in detecting L. donovani in urine and corresponding blood and retrospective bone marrow samples, as well as 100% specificity in control groups. A Real Time PCR-based molecular detection system using urine sample is hereafter presented what could be a, non-invasive approach for VL detection with precision and perfection.

    Abstract Background and objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant impact on health worldwide. Adverse effect of COVID-19 on health-related quality of life is significant. This study aimed to find out the impact of COVID-19 on the physical, mental and social health of suburban and rural adult population in Bangladesh. Methods: A suburban and a rural community were purposively selected. The suburban and rural areas were located about 40 km and 130 km north and north-east of Dhaka city respectively. People aged ≥20 years in the selected communities were enrolled in the study. The investigation procedure included socio-demographic and clinical history, anthropometry, and clinical examination and laboratory investigations. Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) and 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaires were used for assessing mental and social health respectively. Knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) regarding the prevention and transmission of COVID-19 was assessed by a validated questionnaire and interview. Results: Total 385 individuals (suburban=201, rural=184) were enrolled in the study. Out of 385, 116 and 269 were male and female, respectively. Out of total 385 participants, depression, anxiety and stress were present in 113 (29.4%), 144 (37.4%) and 70 (18.2%) respectively, while 210 (54.5%) were normal. Extremely severe depression, anxiety and stress were present in 3.6%, 6% and 0.5%, respectively. Depression and anxiety did not differ between suburban and rural populations, though stress was significantly higher among the suburban (p<0.05) population. Social functioning was limited in more than 50% as opposed to excellent (5.5%) or good (39.8%). Almost 60% of the participants had to cut-down schedule of heavy work. Moderate to minimal physical activities were less affected, though weakness and nervousness predominantly hindered socialization. About the prevention and transmission of COVID-19, awareness and attitude were found satisfactory (≥45%), though practice was ...

    Abstract Background and objective:Serological test has become an important tool in the diagnosis of TB cases. This study focused on the analysis and comparison of antibody response to two Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) antigens namely Ag85 complex and culture filtrate protein (CFP) in patients with tuberculosis. Antibody response to specific antigen was utilized as a diagnostic tool to detect active tuberculosis (TB) cases. Methods: Sera from 30 patients with active tuberculosis and 30 healthy individuals were tested by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the presence of immunoglobulin (Ig) G and IgM antibodies against Ag85 complex and culture filtrate protein (CFP) antigens of MTB. Results:The mean OD values of serum IgM and IgG antibodies against Ag85 and CFP were significantly (p<0.0001) higher in patients than that of healthy control individuals. Among the 30 tuberculosis patients, anti-Ag85 complex IgM and IgG was positive in 66.7% and 70.0% patients respectively. The seropositive rate of anti-CFP IgM and IgG was 33.3% and 56.7% respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of anti Ag85 and anti-CFP IgM and IgG ranged from 60.0% to 96.7%. Conclusion: The study demonstrated that determination of IgM and IgG antibodies against Ag85 complex and CFP could be used as a serological marker for diagnosis of active tuberculosis.

    Abstract Background and objective: This study focused on the analysis and comparison of humoral immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) cell wall fraction (CWF) and lipoarabinomannan (LAM) antigens. Methods: Sera from adult patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis and age and sex matched healthy individuals were tested for immunoglobulin (Ig) M and IgG antibodies to CWF and LAM by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: The mean OD values of serum IgM and IgG antibodies against CWF of TB patients was not significantly (p=0.52, p=0.45) different from that of healthy control population. However, the mean OD values of serum IgM and IgG against LAM were significantly (p=0.049, p= 0.001) higher in TB cases than that of healthy individuals. Conclusion: The present study has revealed that IgM and IgG antibody to LAM may be used in serodiagnosis of TB while response to CWF in active TB case is restricted in our population.
