Question
1)Thanks, you have shown interest in case history i have sent*(hepatosplenomegaly with anemia). I have sent the case with examination point view only. So the discussion is restricted only to case history and approach.My question is whether they h/o and clinical exam is suggestive of hemolytic anemia. OF COURSE THE POSSIBILITY OF CHRONIC LIVER DISEASE and HIV you told is very likely but i want to concentrate on anemia. 2)PROPHYLACTIC PHOTOTHERAPY has been mentioned in f standard books .Is it practised? because i have not seen in practise. kindly give detail about it. 3)One leading company has somewhere advertised rotavirus and malaria vaccine as forthcoming vaccine. ROTA vaccine was banned due to intussuseption and malaria still experimental. Kindly tell latest update. Iap book also mention these as vaccine of millennium.
Answer
1. Regarding the case, you may have to send the case again as it would be difficult to comment without knowing the background. We get hundreds of mails and keeping track of each becomes difficult.
2. Regarding prophylactic phototherapy, it may be used in extremely preemies and in patients with Criggler Najjer syndrome Type 1.
3. Regarding the ROTA vaccine and malaria vaccine, they are articles by themselves. We will let you know as soon as article on NEWER VACCINES is uploaded on Pediatric Oncall.
