Journal ArticleDOI

Polymorphisms of TNF -enhancer and gene for FcγRIIa correlate with the severity of falciparum malaria in the ethnically diverse Indian population

TL;DR: Association of specific TNF and FCGR2A SNPs with cytokine levels and disease severity/resistance was indicated in patients from areas with differential disease endemicity, emphasizing the need for addressing the contribution of human genetic factors in malaria in the context of disease epidemiology and population genetic substructure within India.
Journal ArticleDOI

Onychomycosis in central India: a clinicoetiologic correlation.

TL;DR: The aim of the present study was to isolate the causative pathogens and to determine the various clinical patterns of onychomycosis in central India.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence of dengue infection in north Indian children with acute hepatic failure.

TL;DR: Dengue infection should be considered in the etiology of AHF in this part of the world and Clinico-laboratory differentiating features of dengue AHF should be studied in a larger sample of patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Variations in host genes encoding adhesion molecules and susceptibility to falciparum malaria in India.

TL;DR: Interestingly, a SNP of the PECAM1 gene (rs668, exon 3, C/G) with low minor allele frequency in populations of the endemic region compared to the non-endemic region exhibited differential association with disease in these regions; the G allele was a risk factor for malaria in the endemic area, but exhibited significant association with protection from disease in theNon- endemic region.
Journal Article

Descriptive epidemiology of dengue transmission in Uttar Pradesh.

TL;DR: Dengue transmission occurred round the year in the Lucknow region with peak in postmonsoon season and occurred equally in rural and urban areas and all the surrounding districts were affected.
