HCV infection in haemodialysis patients: Prevalence and risk factor analysis

Journal of Dhaka National Medical College & Hospital (2014)

Sayed Alamgir Safwath Iqbal Murshed Kabir M Mahmuduzzaman Dilip Kumar Gosh Mostak Uddin Ahmed

Introduction: Dialysis patients have a higher rate of HCV infection.2 This study was carried out to find out the prevalence of HCV infection in patients on chronic haemodialysis and to identify the risk factors for HCV transmission in this patient group. Methods: This prospective cross sectional study was carried out in the haemodialysis units and the department of Gastrointestinal, Hepatobiliary and pancreatic disorders (GHPD) of BIRDEM hospital, during the period of March 2006 to March 2007. A total of 72 end stage renal disease patients of both sexes and all ages on maintenance heamodialysis for more than three months were enrolled. A pre-designed questionnaire comprising demographic, dialysis-specific, medical history and life style variables was filled up. Predialysis five (5) ml blood were taken from the arterial channel for anti-HCV (ELISA) test. P-value <0.05 was considered as significant. Results: The prevalence of HCV infection in patients on chronic haemodialysis was 23.6%. There was no statistical significance (p=0.133ns) between anti-HCV positivity and age and sex distribution. The association between HCV status and the total number of units of blood transfused, mean duration of haemodialysis and life-style risk factors for HCV transmission were statistically significant. Conclusion: In our study, the prevalence of HCV infection in patients on chronic haemodialysis was 23.6%. The haemodialysis patients in our dialysis unit have an infection rate 8-12 fold more than general population. The association between the total number of units of blood transfused, mean duration of haemodialysis, and presence of one or more risk factors and HCV positivity were statistically significant. J.

Gastric Dieulafoy lesion as a cause of upper gastro-intestinal bleeding in a 4-year-old child: a case report

BIRDEM Medical Journal (2023)

Nurun Naher Sabina Sultana Iqbal Murshed Kabir Noorjahan Begum

Dieulafoy lesion, although rare, is a significant gastrointestinal condition that can affect children. These quiescent lesions can easily be overlooked and bleeding lesions are occasionally misidentified on endoscopy. So, accurate diagnosis depends on increased knowledge and improvements in endoscopic procedures. Treatment of Dieulafoy lesion in children usually involves in different modalities of endoscopic interventions to stop the bleeding and promote healing. In more severe cases or when endoscopic treatments are unsuccessful, surgical intervention may be required to remove the lesion. In this case report, we present the case of a boy of 4 years and 4 months old, who presented with hematemesis with melena. He appeared mildly pale, moderately dehydrated, had a moderate pulse volume, prolonged capillary refill time, a narrow pulse pressure and tenderness in the epigastrium when the abdomen was examined. His tests showed a low hemoglobin level (7.5 g/dl), a normal coagulation profile and several bleeding sites in the fundus and upper part of stomach on endoscopic examination, which are consistent with Dieulafoy lesions.

Correlation between bright echogenic liver, elevated liver enzymes and liver histology

Journal of Dhaka National Medical College & Hospital (2012)

Iqbal Murshed Kabir Mahbub Alam M Mahmuduzzaman Abdullah Al Mamoon Mostak Uddin Ahmed

A total of 30 cases having bright echogenic liver on ultrasonography and raised ALT levels without Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C infection and without having history of alcohol consumption were referred to Gastroenterology department of BIRDEM Hospital and selected for liver biopsy in the study. The patients BMI and demographic profiles were recorded and necessary biochemical tests were carried out. After obtaining the histopathological reports, the correlation between different possible risk factors including biochemical findings and histological findings was sorted out. Based on BMI of Asian population, 73.4% of patients were over weight, 23.3% were obese and only 3.3% were with normal BMI. 90% patients presented with diabetes and 80% had some form of dyslipidaemia. 41% patients exhibited hypertriglycerdaemia, 21% had hypercholesterolaemia and both cholesterol and triglyceride were high in 34% patients. Histopathological study revealed that all 30 patients exhibited fatty change with macrovesicular type being the predominant. 43.3% patients had mild (<33%) steatosis and the rest 56.7% had moderate (33-66%) steatosis. In terms of staging of fibrosis in the liver, 83.3% exhibited stage-1 fibrosis and only 6.7% had stage-2 fibrosis. The rest 10% of the patients did not have any fibrosis. No correlation was established between hepatic enzyme levels (AST & ALT levels) and grading of steatosis & stage of fibrosis. Study of association between possible risk factors (Age, Sex, Diabetes Mellitus, Dyslipidaemia & BMI) and grading of steatosis and stage of fibrosis demonstrated that none of these risk factors was associated with those histological findings. Therefore it can be concluded that the patients presenting with bright echogenic liver on ultrasonography and elevated liver enzymes without having hepatitis B and hepatitis C infection and history of alcohol consumption are almost certainly to have Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) specially if they are diabetic, dyslipidaemic and overweight or obese.The level of liver enzymes and the possible risk factors like age, sex, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidaemia and BMI do not seem to be good estimates of the severity of NAFLD.

Simultaneous involvement of lungs, larynx and middle ear by tuberculosis -a rare case

Journal of Dhaka National Medical College & Hospital (2012)

Iqbal Murshed Kabir Ahmid Minhas Shumon Kazi Atikuzzaman Yeahyea Zaman A.J.E. Nahar Rahman

Simultaneous involvement of lungs, larynx and middle ear by tuberculosis is very rare. We present a rare case of simultaneous involvement of larynx and ear in a patient with pulmonary tuberculosis. A 17 years old male presented with fever and cough for 8 months, bilateral deafness for 5 months and hoarseness of voice for 3 months. The patient gave history of anorexia and progressive weight loss and history of close contact with tuberculosis patient. There were coarse crepitations on auscultation of both lungs. Indirect laryngoscopy revealed diffuse nodular swelling as well as thickening of the vocal cords. Examination of both ears revealed pale-yellow granulation tissue. ESR was 94 mm in 1st hour and chest radiograph showed diffuse patchy opacities extending over both lung fields. The results of two sputum examinations showed numerous acid-fast bacilli Histopathologic examination of punch biopsy from right and left ear lesions and biopsy tissue from laryngeal lesion taken by endoscopic instrument revealed granulomatous inflammation histologically consistent with tuberculosis.The patient responded well and promptly to the antituberculous therapy. The aim of this article is to create an awareness of Ear Nose Throat tuberculosis and to consider tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of ear and laryngeal diseases and to emphasize the need for prompt recognition and treatment.
