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.
