“…Perinatal transmission is more important in the Asian Pacific region, and horizontal transmission in Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America (9;34;38). The rates of HBeAg in HBsAg carrier mothers vary from 30%-40% in the Far East, to 16%-20% in Africa, and 7%-12% in the Middle East (34). There are very few reports regarding the HBeAg positivity rate for India (10;30;33), which, therefore, remains imprecise at the moment.…”

This study examines the parameters crucial to cost-effectiveness of universal hepatitis B immunization in India. An incremental cost-effectiveness analysis was done using a decision tree (Markov model) to follow up a hypothetical cohort of 100,000 newborns for the effects of hepatitis B acquired vertically at birth. The measure of effectiveness was disability-adjusted life-years gained. Uncertainty analysis and Scenario analysis were done using Latin hypercube sampling. Hepatitis B endemicity is the most important factor, followed by the cost of vaccine. Other factors of some influence are vaccination coverage, vaccine efficacy, HBeAg positivity, and vaccine wastage.

We report a case of a very premature infant who died on day 17 of life because of clinically unsuspected cardiac tamponade due to a pericardial effusion with no gross or microscopic features of myocardial inflammation or perforation. The pericardial effusion probably accumulated for 8 days prior to his death, as evidenced by chest X-ray films. The only relevant microscopic finding was a prominent pericardial and myocardial interstitial edema. Although Staphylococcus epidermidis line sepsis, central venous catheter trauma, hypoalbuminemia, anemia, and heart failure could be possible contributory factors, no definitive cause of the pericardial effusion was found and the etiology of this condition remains obscure.
