VISCERAL leishmaniasis , *DISEASES - Abstract
Background: A large number of kala-azar cases from a particular village in Debigonj upazila of Panchaghar, a remote district of Bangladesh, led us to carry out the study of the situation. Materials & methods: This cross-sectional study was done among clinically screened people at the health camp in two days in Dararhat in Debigonj upazila of Panchaghar. Results: Around 700 people were screened at the health camp and 51 (7.2%) were suspected to have either Kala-azar or related disorders where 42 (82%) were rk-39 test positive. The disease was more prevalent among adult (59.6%) and children (23.8%) under the age of 10 years. However, there was no clear linear relationship between the prevalence of the disease and age group. Kala-azar occurred in both male and female, and its prevalence did not correlate significantly with income. A history of fever (73.8%) and splenomegaly (45.2%) was noted in most of the kala-azar cases. A significant number of PKDL (26.2%) cases were also found in that area. Conclusions: Since there are a significant proportion of PKDL cases, eradication will be very tough unless the health authority take adequate measure to identify and treat them properly.

Background: Erythema induratum of Bazin is a rare manifestation of cutaneous tuberculosis. It may mimic some systemic disorders like sarcoidosis, poly arteritis nodosa, lymphoproliferative disorder, Histoplasmosis, and lupus profundus. Case Presentation: A 38-year young female, diabetic, and hypertensive presented with multiple painful skin lesion over anterior part of her leg for 3 months. These skin lesion used to appear as painful erythematous nodules of variable size and shape over the anterior and lateral aspects of both legs that became ulcerate, healed with hyperpigmentation. On examinations, all of her systemic examinations revealed unremarkable except skin lesion. Punch biopsy from skin lesion revealed lobular panniculitis with granuloma suggestive of erythema induratum and MTB gene Xpert from skin lesion found positive. Thereafter, she was put on anti TB therapy six-month regimens according to the national TB guideline, Bangladesh. After 2 and half months of treatment, her skin lesion disappeared. Conclusion: In a TB prevalent country, erythema induratum should be kept in differential diagnosis along with others. As it is usually underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed because of the absence of typical clinical features of TB, therefore comprehensive investigations like skin biopsy with histopathology, detecting DNA of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by PCR, positive Mantoux test are the cornerstone for confirmatory diagnosis.

HEALTH literacy , *DISEASES , *MORTALITY , *CITY dwellers , *ADULTS - Abstract
Background: Diabetes mellitus is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality around the world though there is huge development regarding its treatment. Many studies showed that functional health literacy has a great impact on diabetes outcome. The study assessed the relationship between functional health literacy and glycemic control in a sample of urban diabetic patients. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Bangladesh University of Health and Science Hospital, Jurain, Dhaka from January to December 2014 that included adult diabetic patients on the basis of defined selection criteria following the purposive sampling method. Functional health literacy was assessed with the short form Test of the Functional Health Literacy in Adults (s-TOFLA). Recent HbA1c was used as a measure of glycemic control and categorized into tight, fair and inadequate glycemic control. Regression models were controlled for demographic data, diabetes duration, treatment regimen, diabetes knowledge and assistance for taking medications. Results: Following the s-TOFLA scale, 60.5% of the diabetic patients had inadequate functional health literacy of them, 89.3% had inadequate glycemic control (HbA1c>8%). And those who had adequate functional health literacy (24%) of them 68.8% had tight glycemic control (HbA1c ≤7%). Overall 63.0% of the respondents had inadequate glycemic control. In linear regression model low s-TOFLA scores, longer diabetes duration and lack of assistance for taking medications were associated with higher levels of HbA1c. In fully adjusted model s-TOFLA score was the variable which was more strongly associated with HbA1c (b = -0.60, P<0.001). Conclusions: The study found that low health literacy is consistently associated with inadequate glycemic control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: The health care workers'(HCWs) are working 24/7 in managing devastating pandemic Corona virus disease19(COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2) as front liner which leads them to be at highest risk for contacting infection. In Bangladesh, being a lower middle-income country and densely populated, the burden is much more on HCWs. Methods: We did a cross-sectional study with an aim to identify the prevalence, risk factors, and outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 infection among the HCWs in a COVID-19 dedicated tertiary care hospital. Statistical analysis was done in SPSS version-26. Multivariate regression analysis was done to evaluate risk factors responsible for COVID-19 infection and the severity of the COVID-19 disease. We expressed odds ratio with 95% CI, and considered the p-value of <0.05 as significant in the two-tailed test. Results: A total of 864 HCWs had participated with mean age of 34.16 ± 6.77 and 426 (49.31%) males. Among them 143 (16.55%) were tested RT-PCR positive for SARS-COV-2. Bronchial asthma/COPD and Hypertension were the most common co-morbidities with 23 (16.08%) for each. About 102 (71.33%) of the RT-PCR positive HCWs became symptomatic. Fever, cough and myalgia were the most common symptoms 84(82.35%), 67(65.69%) and 52(50.98%) respectively. Multivariate regression analysis revealed hypertension, gout, and working in the COVID-19 confirmed ward had a significant odds ratio for getting infected with SARS-CoV-2 [95% CI, p-value 1.91 (1.08 - 3.41), 0.027; 5.85 (1.33 - 25.74), 0.020; and 1.83 (1.10 - 3.03), 0.019]. Bronchial asthma/COPD and gout found to be risk factors for moderate to severe COVID-19 disease [95% CI, p-value 3.04 (1.01 - 9.21), 0.049 and 23.38 (3.42 - 159.72), 0.001]. Hospitalization rate was 12(85.7%), and 3(100%) and median hospital stays were 11 (5.5 - 15), and 20 (7 - 30) days for moderate and severe diseases respectively. Outcome was uneventful without any ICU admission and death. Conclusion: HCWs working in the COVID-19 confirmed ward are at increased risk of infection with SARS-COV-2. Some co-morbidities like hypertension and gout are important risk factors for contacting SARS-COV-2 infection. Bronchial asthma/COPD and gout favors disease severity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

GLYCEMIC control , *BLOOD pressure , *TYPE 2 diabetes , *HYPERTENSION - Abstract
Introduction: Inadequate glycemic control among patients with type 2 diabetes constitutes a major public health problem and risk factor for the development of diabetes related complications. Hypertension is a common co-morbid condition of diabetes. Hypertension as a factor for poor glycemic control in diabetes patients has not been properly evaluated in Bangladesh. The aim of the study was to assess status of glycemic control among patients with Type 2 DM depending on the level of blood pressure in a tertiary care hospital. Method: This cross sectional study was carried out among 200 adult patients of either gender with type 2 diabetes mellitus, in the Department of Medicine and endocrinology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital from January to June 2015. Results: The mean age of the respondents were 56.85(±10.84) years, ranging from 35 to 77 years. Among 200 patients, 129 (64.5%) were hypertensive and 71 (35.5%) were normotensive with a mean duration of hypertension was 10.03 (±3.39) years. The mean HbA1c for all diabetic, hypertensive and normotensive patients were 7.41% (±1.35), 7.63% (±1.30) and 7.02% (±1.37) respectively. The mean HbA1c was significantly higher in hypertensive than normotensive group (p=0.002). The mean HbA1c was also significantly higher in patients with duration of hypertension (p=0.03) for more than 10 years and in patients who used beta blocker (p=0.005) and diuretics (p=0.02) as hypertensive medication. Among the patients with normal BMI and on dietary modification, those who were hypertensive had significantly higher (p=0.00008) mean HbA1c (7.12(±0.99)) than those were normotensive (5.01(±0.01)). Conclusion: The glycemic control in type 2 DM is found to be poor among the hypertensive patients. There is a complex association of multiple factors like age, gender, duration of hypertension and medications strongly influence the glycemic control of type 2 diabetics with hypertension.
