Introduction: Thalassemia encompasses a group of genetic blood disorders, in which there is altered or inadequate haemoglobin synthesis and requires a repeated blood transfusion. Due to repeated blood transfusion, these patients are vulnerable to HCV, HBV, and HIV like blood transfusion transmitted diseases. Aims and Objective: To determine the prevalence of HCV and HBV infections in multitransfused thalassemia patients in a tertiary care hospital. Material And Methods: Cross sectional and observational studywas done on a total of 110 beta thalassemia patients aged between 2-25years &were categorised into four groups (2-7 years, group 1; 8-13 years, group 2; 14-19 years, group 3 and 20-25 years, group 4).For testing, 5 ml Blood sample was collected, Serum separatedand subjected to testing for HBsAg, and antibody to Hepatitis C, by ELISA method. Screening was done by immunochromatography test (point of care test). Results: A total of 110 patients of beta thalassemia major were included in our study. Out of this, 68(62%) were males and 42(38%) were females.

This study is based on urine culture and sensitivity of the samples collected from the suspected cases of urinary tract infection visiting the outdoor of MGM Medical College and Hospital, Jamshedpur. The isolates are subjected to biochemical identication and susceptibility testing and the result is correlated with microscopic ndings. This data can be used to determine the prevalence of Urinary Tract Infection and study the Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern of the isolated bacteria. In this study 309 urine samples were collected over a period of 6 months and culture sensitivity was performed using conventional methods. 44.6% of the urine samples showed growth. The predominant isolate was Escherichia coli followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae.
