Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
Background: India accounts for more than 1/5th of world’s tuberculosis cases. We highlight the importance of making an effort to identify children more prone to develop acute neurological complications and neurological sequelae, so that a multidisciplinary team may plan a long-term follow-up and assure an adequate rehabilitation of those patients. The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the epidemiological and clinical or etiological factors in non-tumor non-traumatic paediatric patients, to characterize these children from a clinical point of view, and to identify clinical variables with potential to predict neurological sequelae and complications. Material and Method: This was a observational cross-sectional study, consisting of consecutive 105 patients admitted in Department of Paediatrics, Neta ji subhash Chandra bose medical college Jabalpur (MP), India. Result- In our study, out of 105 cases 52.38% were male and 47.62% female. age wise distribution of patients were 1-4 year 38.10%, 5-9 year 36.19%, 10-14 years 25.71%. regarding 2nd objective in our study, out of 105 cases 31.43% were tubercular meningitise,24.76% cerebral malaria, 20.96% seizure disorder, 14.29% viral encephalitise , 5.71% pyogenic meningitise CONCLUSION- Based on results of the present study, it is possible to conclude that the most common CNS infection is tubercular meningitise which is preventable disease. It is prevented by antitubercular prophylaxis , vaccination and awareness regarding diseases
