Background: COVID-19 is a unique pulmonary ailment due to coronavirus, producing extremely severe pulmonary illness. On March 11, 2020, WHO declared the SARS-CoV-2 incident a pandemic because of its deadly global spread. Objectives: To assess the myths and misconceptions about Novel COVID-19 outbreaks among the general population and associate the findings of the Novel COVID-19 outbreak with the selected demographic variable. Materials and Methods: This descriptive research paper was undertaken to assess the perceived myths and misconceptions about novel COVID-19 outbreaks among the general population at Paloti, district Wardha. The sampling technique was used Non – Probability Convenient. A total of 150 members of the general population who met the inclusion criteria were chosen for this study. To assess their perceived myths and misconceptions, a Likert Scale was constructed. Results: Findings of the study, 1.33% of general populations have disagreed, 10% were undecided, 50.67% of them were agreed, and 38% of them were strongly agreed about myths related to Novel COIVD-19. The Minimum perceived myths score was 19, and the maximum score was 48. The mean perceived myths score was 37.83±6.07, and the mean percentage of myths score was 75.66±12.14.0.67% of general populations were disagreed, 2% were undecided, 29.33% of them were agreed, and 68% of them were strongly agreed about misconceptions related to Novel COIVD-19. The minimum and highest misunderstanding scores were 18 and 49, respectively. The mean misunderstanding score was 83.179.09, while the mean misconception score was 41.584.54. There is no correlation between demographic factors and myths and misconceptions. Conclusion: According to this study, myths and misconceptions related to the novel COVID-19 are surprisingly low among the general population.
Introduction: Thrombocytopenia is an autoimmune condition in which there is an abnormal low level of platelets. This is also called as Thrombopenia. The word Thrombocytopenia is derived from English word “Thrombocyte” which means “Platelet” and Greek word “Penia” which means “Poverty’. Clinical Findings: Persistent reddish lesion, generalized weakness. Diagnostic Evaluation : Blood test – Hb-11.2 %,RBC -6.06 million /cu mm , Total WBC Count – 10400 /cu mm , Platelet -0.25 lacs /cu mm , Monocyte – 0.6, Granulocyte – 44 % Lymphocyte -48 % , RDW -15.2 % , HCT-35.8%,Prothrombin Time -1.02 (12.8), APTT (Patient Count ) 30.7 % , RBS -104 mg/dl. Peripheral Smear: RBCs-Predominantly normocytic mildly hypochromic with few microcytic RBCs seen. Platelets –Reduced on smear. APC -37000 cells / mm cu as per cell counter no haemoparasit seen. Antinuclear Antibodies (ANA) by Enzyme - linked Immunoassay Lactate Dehydrogenase. Method -0.69 LDH – 205 Ultrasonography – Grade 1 fatty liver. Therapeutic Intervention: 5 unit platelet concentrate transfusion, Inj. Methyl Prednisolone 500 mg × (2 Days), Tab. Prednisolone 30 mg Tab. Autrin , Tab. Metformin 1 gm , Tab. Glipizide 5 mg. Outcome: After treatment, patient show improvement. His platelet count was improved and sugar level were normal and his platelet count increased from 0.45 lacs /cu mm to 0.25 lacs / cu mm after platelet transfusion. Conclusion: My patient was admitted in High Dependency Unit. Archya Vinobha Bhave Rural Hospital with a case of Thrombocytopenia and he had complaint of persistent reddish lesion, generalized weakness. After getting appropriate treatment, his condition was improved.
