    Abstract Background: The epidemiological and mycological patterns of superficial mycoses across various geographic regions of India across the last few years are changing. Objective: This study was performed to evaluate the epidemiological and mycological profile of superficial mycoses in India between 2015 and 2021. Methods: In this systematic review, the PubMed database was searched for all observational studies published between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2021, which had evaluated the clinico-mycological profile of superficial mycoses among outpatients from various parts of India. Descriptive statistics was used to represent the results. Results: Forty studies (21 from the north, three from the northeast, five from the east, seven from the south, one from the west, and three from multiple regions of India) were included. Male patients and those of the age group of 21–40 years were most commonly affected. The proportion of dermatophytes as causative organisms was consistently high across all regions and throughout the study period (23.6%–100%). Among dermatophytes, the proportion of Trichophyton mentagrophyte (14.0%–97.2%) and Trichophyton rubrum (0%–69.1%) was consistently high across all regions. The prevalence of T. mentagrophyte showed a rising trend, while that T. rubrum showed a declining trend from 2015 to 2021. Conclusions: The epidemiological and mycological pattern of superficial mycoses showed a fairly similar trend across various regions of India from 2015 to 2021. Dermatophytes were the main causative agents of superficial mycoses; the most common species were T. mentagrophyte and T. rubrum. A rising trend of T. Mentagrophyte infection was found.

    Abstract Background: This study aims to analyse the undernutrition burden in India and assess the state-level distribution of nutritional indicators among children under three, using data from NFHSs. Methods: This analysis focused on children under three years old and examined the prevalence and trend of undernutrition indicators in India at national and state levels. Changes over a decade were assessed to determine the burden. The study employed a multilevel logistic regression model to measure undernutrition burden, incorporating household and individual factors. Results: From NFHS-1 to NFHS-5, wasting prevalence increased slightly from 19.9 % to 20.5 %, while stunting and underweight decreased from 51.9 % to 34.1 % and 45.8 %–29.4 %, respectively. Stunting and underweight saw a decrease of 6.36 % (↓) and 5.86 % (↓), respectively, while wasting showed a slight increase of 0.21 % (↑). Mother's education and the child's sex were significant factors influencing children's nutritional status. Conclusion: Despite advancements in reducing undernutrition indicators in India through national nutrition programs, the pace of progress remains slow. Prioritizing the fulfillment of nutrition-related SDG goals is crucial. Policymakers can leverage the study's results to create interventions for improving children's nutritional status. Coordinated efforts at both state and national levels are essential to achieve specific improvements in undernutrition indicators across programs.

    Abstract Rabies is highly prevalent in India. It is almost always fatal but preventable by timely administration of vaccine and proper wound care. Rural population have high disease burden. This may be partly due to lack of knowledge regarding the disease. Objectives- To identify the knowledge, attitude & practice of rural people attending in a rural hospital for animal bite management. Materials and Methods- Cross sectional observational study with 119 patients (period prevalence in February 2013). Results- Dogs were the main biting animal (87.4%). Children were the main victim(47.9%). 21% (25) of the respondent said that animal bite may lead to rabies. Neighbors were the main source of knowledge (38.7%). Mean duration of delay in presenting to hospital was 5.02 days. Roughly one third applied soap water to clean the wound. Attitude and practice was significantly associated with knowledge and attitude respectively (p<0.05). Conclusion- Rural population lack enough knowledge on rabies. Targeted group approach like educating mother and children may help improving health care utilization correctly.

    Abstract BACKGROUND: Diagnostic dilemma arises when patients with clinical suspicion of COVID-19 disease having moderate-to-severe respiratory symptoms yield negative result for COVID-19 in reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). This study evaluated the clinical, laboratory and HRCT thorax findings among RT-PCR-negative COVID-19 suspects with moderate-to-severe disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A hospital-based retrospective observational study was conducted between July 2021 to December 2021, among 60 moderate and severe symptomatic COVID-19 suspects admitted in the severe acute respiratory illness (SARI) ward and intensive care unit (ICU), who were negative for COVID-19 in RT-PCR. Data were abstracted from the medical records section of the hospital using a predesigned data abstraction form and presented by descriptive statistics. RESULTS: Mean age of study participants was 55.5 years (SD 14.1 years), and majority were males (n = 43, 71.7%). Common presenting symptoms were fever (n = 60, 100%), dyspnea (n = 57, 95%), and cough (n = 54, 90%). The common laboratory findings were rise of C-reactive protein (n = 60, 100%), NLR (n = 49, 81.7%), d-dimer (n = 47, 78.3%), ferritin (n = 46, 76.7%), and LDH (n = 40, 66.7%). HRCT scan of thorax revealed ground glass opacities with or without consolidations located bilaterally with diffuse or peripheral distribution, interlobar septal thickening (n = 43, 74.1%), vascular thickening (n = 35, ≥58.3%), and sub-pleural lines (n = 32, 53.3%). Median CT-SS value was 15 (IQR 11–19), and majority (n = 56, 93.3%) belonged to CO-RADS ≥4. CONCLUSION: Diagnosis of COVID-19 can be presumed in RT-PCR-negative suspected COVID-19 patients with moderate-to-severe disease, with marked rise of inflammatory markers and HRCT revealing typical findings of COVID-19 pneumonia.

    Abstract Background: Vaccination against COVID-19 among people living with HIV (PLWH) infection is crucial. At present, evidence lacks to strategize vaccinating the hesitant PLWH. This study has estimated the proportion of PLWH vaccinated till October 2021, enumerated the various adverse events following vaccination, and identified the enabling and constraining factors associated with vaccination. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among PLWH by the snowball sampling in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh, India. Data were analyzed using the descriptive statistics and qualitative analyses. Results: Two-hundred and forty-seven PLWH responded, out of which 52 (20.7%) were yet to be vaccinated. Seventy-five (30%) participants reported having adverse events, out of which five (7%) had pain at the injection site, and 72 (96%) had systemic reactions. Fever (n = 51, 68%), dizziness (n = 23, 31%), and joint pain (n = 23, 31%) were the major systemic reactions. Among the vaccinated, motivation by the health-care workers and village volunteers were the major enabling factors. On the contrary, uncertainty about the vaccine effects, negative feedback from the health-care workers, and lack of self-motivation were the important constraining factors in taking the vaccines. Conclusion: Some PLWH are still hesitant to take the vaccine. Evidence generation, coupled with community mobilization, is required to upthrust the vaccination campaign in achieving the herd immunity against COVID-19.

    Abstract Social protection schemes are available in India to mitigate the various challenges faced by people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH) infection. The availability of the schemes should be uniform across the country and based on the rights of these people. We reviewed the schemes available in the high PLWH-burdened states of the country for the year 2019. We identified 83 social protection schemes for the PLWH in 13 representative states from different zones of India. The number of schemes was as low as two in the states of Mizoram and Telangana and 12 schemes in Rajasthan. Most of the schemes belong to the 'health' category (n = 26, 31.3%), nutrition (n = 14, 16.9%), financial aid (n = 12, 14.5%), insurance (n = 11, 13.5%), employment generation (n = 3, 3.6%), housing (n = 3, 3.6%), and legal support (n = 5, 6.0%). While health-related schemes are present in all the states, the distribution of the other social schemes varies widely across the states. The schemes commonly address the social safety of the children affected by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), nutritional supplementation, direct financial assistance or subsidized services, and employment generation but vary considerably regarding the type and the number of services. We strongly recommend for evidence-based policy decision to provide uniform social schemes for PLWH.
