Jaundice01:25

Jaundice

Jaundice, or icterus, is the yellow discoloration of the skin, sclerae, and mucous membranes. It happens when plasma bilirubin levels rise above 2.5-3 mg/dL, leading to bilirubin deposition in tissue.Bilirubin is a byproduct of hemoglobin degradation. In macrophages, hemoglobin breaks down into globin and heme. Globin is converted into amino acids, while heme is turned into biliverdin by heme oxygenase, which is then reduced to unconjugated bilirubin by biliverdin reductase.Unconjugated...
Transcytosis of IgG01:15

Transcytosis of IgG

Transcytosis is the process in which molecules are internalized by endocytosis, transported across the cell, and released through exocytosis from the opposite end of the cell. Molecules such as insulin, immunoglobulins, and certain nutrients are transferred through the recycling endosomes by recycling and transcytosis.
IgG molecules from a mother undergo transcytosis starting around 13 weeks of gestation. The amount of IgG transferred and entering the fetal blood circulation increases with...
Development of Immunocompetence01:22

Development of Immunocompetence

The initiation of cell-mediated immunity can be observed as early as the third month of fetal growth, with active antibody-mediated immunity following approximately one month later.
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
Subsequent T...

Summary

Umbilical myiasis in newborns is rare. Two cases in West Bengal, India, involved blow fly larvae (Chrysomya megacephala), with one infant developing septicemia.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Entomology
  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Umbilical myiasis, infestation of the umbilical stump by fly larvae, is uncommon in neonates.
  • This condition poses a potential risk for secondary infections.

Observation:

  • Two cases of umbilical myiasis were observed in newborns from rural West Bengal, India.
  • The causative agent was identified as the larval form of the blow fly, Chrysomya megacephala.

Findings:

  • One neonate with umbilical myiasis developed septicemia, a serious bloodstream infection.
  • The second neonate remained clinically stable without significant complications.

Implications:

  • Highlights the potential for Chrysomya megacephala to cause umbilical myiasis in newborns.
