Hospital Study

Objectives: To observe the frequency, precipitating factors and outcome ofdiabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in adults with established and newly diagnosed type 1 diabetesat a tertiary care hospital. Study Design: Retrospective study. Setting: Lahore GeneralHospital, Lahore. Period: From January 2013 through December 2015. Methods: Patients whowere admitted with a diagnosis of DKA. The clinical presentations, laboratory investigations,management, time of recovery and outcome were compared. Data were collected viaretrospective chart review. Results: A total of 202 patients were included who fulfilled the criteriaof DKA, of which 160 (79.2%) were less than 26 years of age with a male predominance of 156(97.5%). Out of all cases 72 (35.6%) had established Type 1 diabetes and 130 (64.4%) werenewly diagnosed. The most common presenting complaints in both groups were sepsis 105(52%). The comparison of clinical improvement and laboratory investigations between the twogroups showed that newly diagnosed Type 1 diabetes patients had lower pH, low bicarbonateand high BSR at presentation as compared to those with established type 1 diabetes. Thepatients with established diabetes improved earlier, required lesser duration of intravenousfluids and IV insulin was changed to subcutaneous in less time. Hospital stay of more than 7days was observed in patients with new diagnosis. Conclusion: It can be concluded from theabove data that earlier diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus, appropriate treatment, regularscreening for complications and infections will result in less hospital admissions and betteroutcome.

Motor Alterations

A type 1 reaction or reversal reaction is expressed clinically by inflammatory exacerbation of the skin lesions and nerve trunks, consequently leading to sensory and motor alterations. It occurs in non-polar forms of leprosy, although it can occur in a small percentage of sub-polar LL treated patients. Disabilities, deformities and morbidity, still present in leprosy, are mainly caused by these acute episodes. The recognition of reactional states is imperative for an early approach and efficient management, to avoid the emergence of disabilities that stigmatize the disease. This review aims to describe the clinical aspects, immunopathogenesis, epidemiology, histopathological features and therapeutics of type 1 reactions.

Reversal Reaction

Abstract Leprosy is a disease that is caused by Mycobacterium leprae which results in lots of disabilities in the patients. Leprosy is treated by multi-drug therapy regimen; however, this therapy might cause leprosy reactions in the patients. There are several types of lepromatous reaction: type 1 reaction, type 2 reaction and neuritis. Type 1 reaction mainly occurs in BB, BL and BT forms of leprosy and is characterized by exacerbation of preexisting lesions. The therapy of this reaction according to the WHO guideline is corticosteroid therapy. This article will explain several key points related to the corticosteroid therapy in leprosy reversal reactions, including the side effects and alternative therapies available.

Reversal Reaction

Leprosy reactions are acute inflammatory episodes that complicate the course of a Mycobacterium leprae infection and are the major cause of leprosy-associated pathology. Two types of leprosy reactions with relatively distinct pathogenesis and clinical features can occur: type 1 reaction, also known as reversal reaction, and type 2 reaction, also known as erythema nodosum leprosum. These acute nerve-destructive immune exacerbations often cause irreversible disabilities and deformities, especially when diagnosis is delayed. However, there is no diagnostic test to detect or predict leprosy reactions before the onset of clinical symptoms. Identification of biomarkers for leprosy reactions, which impede the development of symptoms or correlate with early-onset, will allow precise diagnosis and timely interventions to greatly improve the patients' quality of life. Here, we review the progress of research aimed at identifying biomarkers for leprosy reactions, including its correlation with not only immunity but also genetics, transcripts, and metabolites, providing an understanding of the immune dysfunction and inflammation that underly the pathogenesis of leprosy reactions. Nevertheless, no biomarkers that can reliably predict the subsequent occurrence of leprosy reactions from non-reactional patients and distinguish type I reaction from type II have yet been found.
