PP-026 Cryosurgery for Rhinoscleroma a clinico-bacteriological study

A Clinico Bacteriological Study of Post Operative Wound Infection

Post operative wound infection is considered as a surgeon’s nightmare. Before the mid 19 century, surgical patients commonly developed post operative purulent discharge from their incisions, followed by overwhelming sepsis, and often death. It was not until the late 1860s, after Joseph Lister introduced the principles of antisepsis that postoperative infections morbidity decreased substantially...

Clinico-bacteriological profile and outcome of empyema.

Empyema thoracis is a common cause of morbidity in children. We conducted a prospective observational study in 50 children (age 0-15 y) diagnosed with empyema to study its clinico-bacteriological profile and outcome in a referral hospital. Staphylococcus aureus was the most common causative organism, most of them being MRSA, followed by Pneumococcus and Pseudomonas. Primary video-assisted thora...

A Study of Rhinoscleroma in Vizagapatam

Rhinoscleroma.

Adenoid tissue: a comparative bacteriological study

Introduction: Adenoid hypertrophy and its complications such as otitis media and sinusitis are common problems in childhood. Rapid and appropriate detection of interfering microorganisms in chronic nasopharyngitis is very important for better medical and surgical interventions. The aims of this study were to detect major core adenoidal microorganisms and to compare similarity of pernasal and ...
