A study of prevalence and seasonal trends of different malarial species in district hospital

Background: Malaria imposes great socio-economic burden on humanity. In India, the epidemiology of malaria is complex because of wide distribution of anopheline vectors which transmitting mainly two Plasmodial species named P. falciparum and P. vivax. Though India is one of the known endemic countries, incidence of malaria is commonly influenced by environmental factors like climate, season, temperature and socioeconomic status. Objectives of the study were to know the prevalence of different malarial species and to know the seasonal trend of malaria.Methods: This study done microbiology department of district hospital over period of June 2015 to December 2015. We had collected total 6763 samples. We used Microscopic examination for the diagnosis of malaria by preparing thick and thin smears and stained using field stain.Results: We had collected total 6763 samples out of which 108 samples are found microscopically positive (1.5%). In our hospital we observed only Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum spp. Prevalence of P. vivax (64%) found more compare to P. falciparum (34%) and peak positivity rate found in July to October.Conclusions: In our study the most frequently implicated species was P. vivax. This indicates that P. vivax is the most widespread infection in India which results in a pronounced morbidity and the seasonal prevalence observed high in July to October. In order to implement effective preventive measures, proper surveillance on the incidence and prevalence of malaria is required

Clinical and Microbiological Profile of Urinary Tract Infection in Children Less Than Twelve Years of the Age and Their Antibiotics Resistant Pattern at A Tertiary Care Hospital in Kanpur, India

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common bacterial infection which is seen in childhood population, which starts from the calyces of the kidney to the urethra. It is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in children mostly in the first 2 years of life. The Gram negative enteric bacilli, especially Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. the dominant pathogens. The objective of the study was to analyze the causative microorganism and their Antibiotic Resistance Pattern in UTI in childhood population between 0-12years of the age. Methods: This one year prospective and observational study was conducted in the Department of Microbiology; Rama Medical College Hospital & Research Centre Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India, on 100 pediatric patients (aged 0-12 years). All the pediatric age group (0-12 years) with suspected UTI and, whose urine culture showed one or two pathogen with colony counts greater than or equal to 105 colony forming units (CFU)/ml was included for the study. Clinical data was obtained from OPD and IPD Patients. Antimicrobial susceptibility was done for positive urine culture by Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. The data was expressed in terms of frequency and percentage
