Publication Acute Renal Failure and Seizure following Multiple Wasp Stings: A Case Report(Nepal Paediatric Society (JNPS), 2012) Kumar, MK; Thakur, SNAbstract: Wasps and bees descend from order Hymenoptera. All social wasps belong to family Vespidae. Their stings are not usually life threatening, causing mainly local reactions and rarely anaphylaxis and serious systemic manifestations. Though a few stings cause no major problems, multiple stings can cause serious effects like massive hemolysis, acute renal failure, encephalopathy, multiorgan dysfunction. We report a six years boy with acute renal failure and seizure following multiple wasp stings.Publication Anti-Tubercular Treatment of Tuberculous Meningitis Cause Paradoxical Multiple Neurotuberculoma(Nepal Paediatric Society (JNPS), 2014) Kumar, MK; Kumar, P; Singh, AAbstract: Tuberculosis is the most common cause of infectious disease related mortality worldwide. Paradoxical reactions to antituberculous treatment have created difficulties in the management of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, particularly central nervous system tuberculosis. We report a three years baby with tuberculous meningitis, who was treated outside with anti-tuberculous drugs without steroid one month back and presented in our emergency as status epilepticus. This case emphasizes the importance of addition of steroid along with anti-tubercular drugs in the treatment of central nervous system tuberculosis.
