Publication Childhood Neurological Illness in Nepal(Nepal Health Research Council, 2010) Mishra, N; Belbase, M; Shrestha, D; Poudel, R; Mishra, PThe commonly encountered neurological disorders in Nepalese children are febrile encephalopathies, neurocysticercosis, and epilepsy,and neonatal encephalopathy,neuro-psychiatric and neuromuscular disease. Also, these childrenin Nepal remain one of the most vulnerable andmarginalized groups in the community. Due to the lack of proper facilities some preventable and treatable neurological conditions continue to paralyze thechildren’s physical and mental health. The alarmingly high prevalence of theseneurological illnesses has high mortality and morbidity in children ultimately adding financial burden to the family, society and the country asa whole. The paucity of data and difficultiesin proper collection of reliable facts further  hampers to understand the actual magnitude of thisproblem.                     Key words: epilepsy,neonatal encephalopathy, neurocysticercosisPublication Egg Allergy in infancy(Society of Dermatologists, Venereologists and Leprologists of Nepal (SODVELON), 2010) Shrestha, R; Shrestha, D; Poudyal, R; Mishra, NAbstract Egg allergies are one of the most common allergies of childhood and the reactions may vary from mild to severe. A family history of egg allergy or atopy is a risk factor for egg allergy. Most food-induced allergic reactions occur on first known oral exposure, especially in the case of eggs and peanuts. We report a case of nine months old infant who developed egg allery (contact dermatitis) after contact with egg white, with a positive family history of atopy and egg allergy. Keywords Egg allergy; contact dermatitis; infancy.Publication Lewandowski & Lutz Syndrome: A Rare Case Entity(Society of Dermatologists, Venereologists and Leprologists of Nepal (SODVELON), 2017) Mohan, Rikta; Gahalaut, P; Soodan, HS; Mishra, N; Rastogi, MNAbstract: Epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV), first described in 1922 by Lewandowski and Lutz, is a rare inherited genetic disease. The disease usually manifests in childhood with highly polymorphic, widespread lesions. We report a case of a fifteen year old boy, who presented to us with multiple flat topped, hypopigmented papules of a seven year duration on his body. He was diagnosed with EV on a skin biopsy, after ruling out differential diagnosis of pityriasis versicolor, verruca vulgaris and acrokeratosisverruciformis. The patient was resistant to known treatment options. Key message: sun protection and lifelong observation for diagnosis and improved prognosis of malignant or premalignant lesions of EV. Keywords: pityriasis versicolor, verruca-like lesions, sun exposed sites
