Deferoxamine, which has been used since four decades as an iron chelator has limited efficacy due to its demanding therapeutic regimen, leading to poor compliance. Deferasirox, once daily oral iron chelator provides an effective alternative to Deferoxamine in the treatment of transfusional hemosiderosis. In this review, the role of Deferasirox as an ideal iron chelator has been discussed. Pubmed searches on Deferasirox were carried out for the same. Several studies demonstrated the safety and efficacy of...

Two patients presented with osseous lesions at the time of relapse and one had concurrent evidence of non-osseous disease. The clinical presentation, radiographic findings, histology, treatment and outcome of these patients are discussed. Boys and girls are nearly equally affected, local bone pain is the commonest symptom and B-symptoms are common. Vertebrae and pelvis are most frequently involved, commonly with an osteolytic picture. Nodular sclerosis is the predominant histological subtype. Most children received combined modality treatment and the overall response and survival are good. Content T...

Splenic cysts are classified as primary or secondary on the basis of presence or absence of an epithelial lining. The primary cysts are further subdivided as parasitic or non-parasitic. The congenital non-parasitic cysts are rarely met in clinical practice and it constitutes approximately 10% of all splenic cysts. Congenital cysts are true cysts with an epithelial. Secondary cysts are in most cases posttraumatic. Patient at admission had lower abdominal pain and splenic cyst was asymptomatic. In routine abdominal pain investigation we found cyst of the spleen in diameter 2 cm. We made serodiagnostic tests for echinococcosis which were negative.

Percentile curves and rate of rise in TcB may help in identification of neonates at low-risk of development of hyperbilirubinemia facilitating their safer discharge from the hospital. Diagnostic utility of this nomogram for predicting hyperbilirubinemia needs to be tested in a separate validation cohort.

It was also more significantly associated with seropositive polyarticular JIA than other types. It can be presumed from these results that anti-CCP antibodies can be used as a marker to predict severe course of JIA at the onset to guide optimal aggressive therapy.

This can distort the inferences drawn in systematic reviews. To measure the distortion, it has been suggested that a second analysis be done; using weights proportional to the size of the population from which the samples are drawn. We re-evaluate data from a published meta-analysis on prevalence of hepatitis B in India, to see how this approach alters the results. Prevalence of hepatitis B among tribal and non-tribal populations in different States was analyzed. Weights were then assigned according to population of the State. The overall country prevalence was then calculated. Using population-weights it is estimated that the point-prevalence of hepatitis B among non-triba...

His elder brother had similar nail changes and had died at twelve yr of age. We demonstrated the A353V mutation in the proband after sequencing the DKC1 gene. The mother was found to be carrier for the same mutation. She did not have any clinical manifestations. This is the commonest mutation worldwide responsible for X-linked variety of this disease and has been demonstrated for the first time in an native Indian patient.

Presentation of the disease is similar to their adult counterparts except for more severe bone disease and less severe renal disease. MEN and familial non-MEN PHPT do not constitute a major cause of pediatric PHPT as against to worldwide data. The incidence of hyperplasia as a cause of PHPT is rare in our pediatric population.

Computed tomographic angiography showed marked dilatation of cerebral duro-venous system including vein of Galen (VOG), straight sinus, torcula and transverse sinus without evidence of arteriovenous fistulae at the vein of Galen. Dilatation of duro-venous system resolved with concomitant improvement in biventricular function and CHF with decongestive therapy. Such entity should be differentiated from more serious conditions like VOG malformation and venous sinus thrombosis.

Genetic tests showed that patient was positive for HbE and IVS1-5 mutation and was negative for thrombogenic mutations. Hemorrhagic infarct was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging study. Antigenic levels of Protein C and Protein S were low. Based on these outcomes, it was concluded that Protein C and Protein S deficiency were the causative factor for developing hemmoragic infarct in the HbE/ Beta thalassemia patient.

One presented with sudden onset lethargy, respiratory difficulty and unexplained seizures. There were bilateral retinal bleeds and extradural hemmorage. Other was a well thriving child who had 2 seizures and was noted to lack visual fixation. Retinal hemorrhages and chronic subdural and intraparenchymal hemorrhages were subsequently discovered. We highlight the importance of suspecting child abuse in infants with sudden unexplained unresponsiveness, seizures or respiratory difficulty and the unusual occurrence of extradual hemorrhage.

Here we describe a rare case of 48, XXXY Klinefelter’s variant from South India with a reported incidence of 1 per 17,000 to 1 per 50,000 male births. The presence of an extra X chromosome/s in these individuals has a great impact on the physical and cognitive functions, which could be attributed to gene dosage effects and genes involved in neurogenic development.

On examination, he had features of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Complete endocrinological evaluation was normal. Trucut biopsy of the breast revealed overgrowth of fibrocollagenous and adipose tissue without hyperplasia of breast parenchyma. Thus a diagnosis of NF1 with pseudogynecomastia was made.

She underwent a left Blalock-Tausig (BT) shunt at one month of age followed by a Glen procedure with left pulmonary artery augmentation at six months. Following the second procedure she developed extensive cyst formation in the upper lobe of the left lung and pneumothorax. She was managed by intercostal drainage of the pneumothorax. The cysts were observed and on a CT scan X-rays taken at one month and six months no cysts were seen. This case illustrates the occurrence of pneumatoceles after pulmonary artery manipulation, their proclivity for causing pneumothoraces and involution on follow-up. Cysts noted in such a setti...

Family history was present in 18%. In 2 patients, pheochromocytoma was part of VHL and in one it was associated with MEN 2. Twenty four hour urine VMA level was elevated in 100% and metanephrine level in 73%. CT/ MRI were showing the tumor in all. Prazosin extended release tablets (maximum 30 mg/day) were used in 73% and doxazosin (maximum 12 mg/ day) in 27%. Intraoperative BP fluctuations were seen in 27%. All were biochemically cured after surgery. Preoperative á blockade with extended release prazosin and doxazosin were effective in controlling perioperative BP fluctuations. Hence these drugs can be used in children and adolescents without fear of po...

There was a history of blunt trauma to the lower chest having occurred 5 days earlier. Although missed initially, serial chest X-rays and a computed tomographic (CT) scan revealed an isolated traumatic right-sided diaphragmatic hernia without any injury to the viscera or the ribcage. Laparotomy with reduction of the herniated right lobe of the liver and the transverse colon was performed. Recovery was uneventful. The presentation, diagnosis and management of this relatively uncommon injury is discussed. The need for a high index of suspicion and critical evaluation of appropriate investigations to prevent diagnostic delay and optimize management in patients with traumatic diaphragmatic injury i...

Though high mortality rates are reported with invasive mucormycosis, prompt biopsy, early identification and antifungal therapy using a combination regime of amphotericin-B and rifampicin along with extensive surgical debridement led to complete cure of the lesions in the index case.

On this treatment, while some series had good outcomes with this treatment (72%–100%, remission ratios), but many series, such as ours, had a poor response rate contrast to many reported case series in the literature. This condition may be associated with the age of our most patients who were young at the time of commenced rituximab. However, we believe that more studies are required to elucidate the reasons for different results in different case series reported in literature.

She had high blood glucose level: 615 mg/dL and her HbAlc level was 13.3 %. After the control of ketoacidosis and reduction of the plasma glucose level, we found low free T4 level and high TSH levels. Thyroid peroxidase antibodies titer was 1383 IU/mL and both gliadin and endomysial antibodies were negative. This was the first report of a child with Down syndrome showing type 1 diabetes combined with alopecia areata and autoimmune thyroid disease.

The GTG-banded chromosomal analysis of DS child revealed 47,XY,+21,+mar and mother karyotype was 47,XX,+mar. The GTG-banded sSMC had a similar morphology of small acrocentric chromosomes. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)evaluation of sSMC using centromere probes(13/21,14/22,22)confirmed sSMC as derivative chromosome 14. The sSMC was not specifically stained with whole chromosome paint and arm-specific probes for chromosome 14;thus it has been described as der(14)(:p11–q11:).The phenotypic changes were not evident, may be due to trisomy condition in the child or the sSMC contain repetitive sequences.

Most of the children belonged to rural (92.8%) areas, with unhygienic environmental conditions and a poor socioeconomic status. Otogenic tetanus was the commonest followed by idiopathic tetanus (22.6%) and traumatic tetanus (14%). Lockjaw, rigidity, spasm and fever were the most common presenting symptoms. Phenobarbitone and diazepam was the best combination of drugs for the treatment of tetanus. The overall mortality rate was 17.1%. This could be due to the drugs used in the present study. The incubation period, period of onset and fever had an inverse relationship with mortality. Tetanu...

The first one had a single third trimester ultrasound which detected malrotation and helped in saving baby’s life whereas the second baby without antenatal screening succumbed to midgut volvulus and its sequelae because of delayed presentation. In developing countries where most of the pregnancies may go unsupervised, a single third trimester scan for fetal anomalies by an experienced sonologist, in areas where routine antenatal screening program has failed or not feasible can help save the baby’s life at least in surgically correctable anomalies. This may be an important strategy to reduce the infant mortality rate in the country. Content ...

Serum total thyroxine (T4), total triiodothyronine (T3) and TSH were low. There was no evidence of deficiency of other pituitary hormones. Magnetic resonance imaging of the pituitary was normal. TSHB gene sequencing revealed a homozygous missense mutation due to single base substitution G?A at codon 85 resulting in change from Glycine to Arginine. This mutation in TSHB gene has been reported earlier in three cases with similar phenotype from Japan.

Both were passengers in a vehicle and suffered multisystem injuries. Case no.1 suffered a fractured occipital bone, lung contusions and a small pneumothorax in addition to the traumatic lung cysts in the left lung. Case 2 sustained contused and lacerated liver and right lung cysts. CT examination showed cystic areas in the lung which were diagnostic in case 2. In case 1 a traumatic rupture of diaphragm could not be ruled out and the patient underwent an exploratory laparotomy to deal with the same. The lung cysts in both the patients were treated conservatively and both showed resolution in repeat CT scans done at 6 months.

Peripheral neurotoxicity (mixed motor-sensory 4/10, pure motor 3/10, pure sensory 3/10) was seen in the form of weakness of lower limbs, areflexia, neuropathic pain, or sensory loss. Autonomic neuropathy presented as constipation and urinary retention in 2 children, while 2 children developed encephalopathy in form of seizures, confusion, aphasia, and transient blindness. In children with severe neuropathy, vincristine administration was withheld/dose reduced till clinical improvement started, which took about 2–3 weeks time.

In India, there is high seroendemicity with almost 99% adults showing IgG antibodies. Infection or re-activation becomes important in immunocompromised host (Transplant recipients, Cancer therapy patients and patients with HIV/AIDS). Neonates form a distinctive high risk population for congenital CMV infection and suffer disastrous sequlae of the same. Neonatal infections may be congenital in nature or may be acquired after birth during first month of life via infected breast milk or due to exposure to high risk blood products. The risk for transmission of the virus to the fetus is higher in primary infected mothers than in mothers with reactivated disease. Primary CMV infections are reported in 1–4% of seronegative women during pregna...

Retrospective evaluation of medical records of ALD patients were carried out. In all the 5 patients the duration of the symptoms varied from 1–7 years. Most of them presented with Addisonian crisis (4/5) and hyperpigmentation (5/5), white half of them (3/5) had neurological symptoms. All patients had biochemical evidence of the adrenal insufficiency. All siblings of patients should be screened for the possibility of ALD with VLCFA.
