Ascariasis-associated worm encephalopathy in a young child
Infestation with Ascaris lumbricoides in children has a varied manifestation, but encephalopathy is a very rare presentation. This report describes a case of ascariasis-associated encephalopathy in a child. An 18-month-old boy was admitted with altered sensorium. He had a history of vomiting and was passing Ascaris worms in the vomitus. The cerebrospinal fluid analysis did not reveal any abnormality. The patient was treated with an antihelminthic…
Establishment of prenatal diagnosis for β-thalassaemia
Beta-thalassaemia constitutes a major health burden on the limited health resources of India and prenatal diagnosis is seen as an important preventive measure to reduce the burden of the disease. Prenatal diagnosis has been offered to 99 women in 112 pregnancies by fetal DNA analysis, using a PCR-based Amplification Refractory Mutation System (ARMS) for the common and uncommon Indian mutations. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) for …
Dermatoglyphics in turner syndrome
Finger and Palmar dermatoglyphics in 25 karyotypically proven cases of Turner syndrome representing Northwestern region of India are presented and compared with those obtained on their 102 normal female counterparts. Predominance of ulnar loops over other patterns was recorded in turner patients. Mean total finger ridge count in Turner syndrome (147.4) remained higher than the normal females (121.1). c-d interdigital ridge count in turners remain…
