Occult HBV infection in multi transfused thalassemia patients. Indian J Pediatr. 2015 Mar; 82(3):240-4. Abstract OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in multitransfused thalassemic patients, with an aim to further highlight the need for donor screening strategy with supplementary molecular diagnostic tools for high risk population. METHODS: The study was conducted in 174 thalassemic subjects from Thalassemia unit of Central Red Cross Blood Bank, Cuttack, Odisha, India. Sero molecular diagnosis was followed to detect antigen, antibody and DNA in the study subjects. RESULTS: Published on: Mar-2015 Read more

Relation between vitamin d status and nonalcoholic Fatty liver disease in children. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2015 Mar;60(3):396-404. Abstract OBJECTIVES: In adults, vitamin D deficiency is common in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and has been associated with the severity of histology. There are known differences between adult and pediatric NAFLD, with little data regarding the relation between vitamin D and pediatric NAFLD. The aim of the present study was to examine the relation between vitamin D levels and NAFLD in children. METHODS: Published on: Mar-2015 Read more

Abstract OBJECTIVES: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the most common cause of liver disease among US children, may be associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. The present study sought to determine the prevalence of dyslipidemia in children with NAFLD and assess dyslipidemia by liver histology and histologic changes.

Surveillance for infectious complications in pediatric acute liver failure - a prospective study http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24944144 Mekala S, Jagadisan B, Parija SC, Lakshminarayanan S. Surveillance for infectious complications in pediatric acute liver failure - a prospective study. Indian J Pediatr. 2015 Mar; 82(3):260-6. Abstract OBJECTIVE: To prospectively evaluate infectious complications (IC) in pediatric acute liver failure (PALF) by employing surveillance cultures. METHODS: From 2011 to 2013, children with PALF in a tertiary care centre received a standard protocolised management. Prophylactic parenteral antibiotics were used without antifungals. Surveillance cultures of blood, urine, ascites and tracheal aspirates were sent. Biochemical and clinical parameters and outcomes were compared between children with and without IC.
