Publication Neonatal Bartter Syndrome(Nepal Paediatric Society (JNPS), 2016) Roy, Amrita; Chakraborty, Debalina Sarkar; Dogra, Shivani; Sengupta, SudipAbstract: The neonatal form of Bartter syndrome is characterized by intrauterine onset of polyuria leading to severe polyhydramnios. We report a case of a 31 weeks, male baby was born by emergency Caesarean Section due to severe polyhydramnios (AFI 54). Postnatally, baby had polyuria, dehydration, hyponatremia, hypokalemia and hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis. Possibility of neonatal Bartter syndrome was supported by high serum renin and aldosterone levels. Correction of electrolytes and dehydration along with indomethacin constituted the treatment. This syndrome is reported to make paediatricians aware about the severe neonatal form of the disease.Publication Rota-Viral Diarrhoea Progressing to Necrotizing Enterocolitis in Twin Neonates(Nepal Paediatric Society (JNPS), 2017) Roy, Amrita; Dogra, Shivani; Chatterjee, Pallab; Chattopadhyay, AnindyaAbstract: We report late preterm twins who developed rota-viral diarrheal disease followed by necrotizing enterocolitis. Necrotizing enterocolitis had a fulminant course in both these neonates. Rota-viral infections in new-borns are reported to be mild or asymptomatic but in the above mentioned case, both the twins were severely affected leading to necrotizing enterocolitis. In the absence of risk factors, late preterm and term babies rarely develop Necrotizing Enterocolitis. We aim to highlight the importance of breast feeding through this case and also put forward the consideration for giving a birth dose of Rotaviral vaccination.
