The evolution of viral variants and their impact on viral transmission have been an area of considerable importance in this pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). We analyzed the viral variants in different phases of the pandemic in West Bengal, a state in India that is important geographically, and compared the v...
Dengue, an arthropod borne viral disease which is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes, can result in a range of clinical presentations from mild febrile illness like dengue fever (DF) to severe presentations like dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS) which can turn fatal.While majority of pri...
A 15-year-old boy presented with a sudden onset of breathlessness for 7 days, gradual loss of weight of 17.6 lbs over the last month and progressive hoarseness of voice for 7 months. The contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) scan revealed a heterogeneously enhancing lesion in the anterior mediastinum with multiple discrete lymph nodes in the...
Respiratory Virus Menace in Eastern India- among the Under Five Age Group Amidst the COVID 19 Pandemic
Poster presentation at UP/UK chapter MICROCON 2023
Introduction: Leptospirosis is a major neglected public health problem and is highly underreported in India. It is a common cause of the acute febrile illness (AFI), but accurate diagnosis is quite challenging and often delayed because of overlapping symptoms with many other infectious diseases, and limited access to laboratory diagnosis. The aim A...
Enteric fever, a potentially fatal multisystem disease that is caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi and Paratyphi, poses a significant risk in low- and middle-income countries. A retrospective study to understand the prevalence and evolving patterns of antibiotic resistance in Salmonella Typhi and Paratyphi was undertaken from June 2017 to J...

Clinical case presentation by Dr. Mitra Kar at 12 th annual conference of CIDSCON 2022. Ranking 13 out of 15 selected cases
With increasing demand for large numbers of testing during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, alternative protocols were developed with shortened turn-around time. We evaluated the performance of such a protocol wherein 1138 consecutive clinic attendees were enrolled; 584 and 554 respectively from two independent study sites in the cities of Pu...
Introduction Dengue fever (DF) is one of the most prevalent arthropod-borne acute viral infections around tropical and subtropical countries. Approximately 3.6 billion people live in dengue-endemic regions worldwide and 400 million people suffer from dengue fever each year [1]. Dengue virus is enveloped single-stranded, positive-sense RNA virus. It...
With increasing demand for large numbers of testing during COVID-19 pandemic, came alternative protocols with shortened turn-around time. We evaluated the performance of such an approach wherein 1138 consecutive clinic attendees were enrolled; 584 and 554 respectively from two independent study sites in the cities of Pune and Kolkata. Paired nasoph...
Aim: To assess the prevalence of non-fermenting gram negative bacilli(NFGNB) as nosocomial pathogens and environmental contaminants. Material and Methods: Nonfermenting gram negative bacilli were isolated from relevant patient samples and high-touch surfaces in the hospital environment. They were identied and their antibiotic susceptibility testin...
Introduction : Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES) is a major public health problem in West Bengal, India including West Bengal. Japanese encephalitis virus accounts for < 10% of AES cases, while the etiology of remaining cases is still largely unknown. Scrub typhus is known to cause AES but no data exists regarding the proportion of AES cases due to...
Context:
Screening for malaria and coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in all patients with acute febrile illness is necessary in malaria-endemic areas to reduce malaria-related mortality and to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 by isolation.
Aims:
A pilot study was undertaken to determine the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection among febrile patien...
Aim :This study aims to assess the prevalence of nosocomial infections and to nd out the prevalence of yeasts responsible for the same. Material and Methods: Nosocomial infections were identied using CDC-NHSN guidelines. The prevalence of yeasts responsible for the same was assessed. Conventional and automated methods were used to isolate yeasts...
Background:
Fungal infections are a major cause of mortality and
morbidity in HIV patients. These infections range from mucosal in-
volvements to deep mycoses.
Methods:
We searched PubMed and EMBASE databases for ran-
domized controlled trials (RCT) on triazoles for primary prophylaxis in
HIV patients using the search term “HIV AND (fluconazole OR...
Objective:
A tetravalent dengue vaccine (CYD-TDV) has been licensed in 2015 and is currently approved in 20 countries. We did a meta-analysis to determine whether CYD-TDV is effective in preventing dengue.
Methods:
We did a pubmed search to find published papers on dengue vaccine (keyword: dengue AND vaccine AND randomized controlled trial [pt]) a...
Background:
Dengue shock syndrome is a serious complication of dengue fever characterized by vascular leakage and disorder of hemostasis. The mainstay of therapy is by intravenous fluid replacement in such cases. However, there has long been a debate about whether crystalloid or colloid solutions should be used during initial management of
dengue s...
