BACKGROUNDHydatid disease is a cyclo-zoonotic parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus. This disease is usually found in liver and lungs, but no organ of body is immune. Location at unusual sites in the body can have atypical presentations and can pose a diagnostic challenge. A high index of suspicion, radiological investigations as well as serological examination is necessary in establishing the diagnosis of hydatid disease at unusual sites in the body. We report here a case of a 35-year-old female, who presented with abdominal pain and a lump in the epigastric region.
Progressive massive fibrosis characterised by the development of large conglomerate masses of dense fibrosis usually in the upper lung zones can complicate silicosis and coal worker's pneumoconiosis. (1-3) The disease initiates through deposition of silica and coal in the lung and then by body's immunological reaction to the dust. Here, we present a case report of a 55-year-old man who presented to our emergency department with gradually progressive dyspnoea.
Bacteria are being unicellular and prokaryotes came to this earth before us and others. They are able to survive anywhere in this earth including soil, water both saline and normal, in all living creatures, hills, sands, ice of north and south poles, sea and desert. Some are helpful and commensals as they not harm us but many of them produce disease in which they survive, these are harmful bacteria, so called pathogenic or disease producing bacteria. Not only bacteria but also a lot of other organism are pathogenic like fungus, virus etc. but here we are limited to bacteria’s only. Data’s are collected by a self-prepared preformed proforma, which is prepared as per study design and includes Age, Sex, Disease, Unit, Ward, AMA or AMAs prescribed, Average no of AMAs, Dose, Frequency, Route of administration, along with Govt. supply or private purchase and supply chain. This study also focused wide spread drug resistance, mostly multiple drug resistance by many organisms, a matter of great concern along with a shocking challenge for present as well as for future.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
