Publication IgA Vasculitis Mimicking Obstructed Umbilical Hernia and Presenting as Gastrosurgical Emergency(Society of Dermatologists, Venereologists and Leprologists of Nepal (SODVELON), 2024) Agarwal, Pooja; Shah, Harsh; Shah, Jay; Shah, Malhar; Baxi, KalgiAbstract: IgA vasculitis (previously known as Henoch-schonlein purpura) is a systemic vasculitis which is more common in children than in adults. The classical triad clinically suggests the diagnosis includes purpuric rash, arthritis and abdominal pain. We report a case of a forty-seven-year-old male presented with an acute abdomen to a gastro-surgeon, and on exploratory laparotomy, multiple petechial lesions were found on the entire intestinal walls. Multiple petechiae were present over both the legs and hands as well, which prompted a dermatological consult, and the diagnosis of IgA vasculitis was confirmed with histopathological and immunofluorescence evaluation of the skin lesions.Publication Kawasaki Disease- Management Strategies Given Symptoms Overlap to COVID-19: A Review(Nepal Medical Association, 2021) Wang, Linna; Zhang, Sheng; Ma, Ji; Ni, Jing; Wang, Juyan; Li, Xiaohong; Mu, Zhilong; Han, Wei; He, Gaitao; Ma, Lei; Shah, Jenifei; Shah, Jay; Jiao, JayAbstract: Kawasaki disease is an acute, self-limiting vasculitis in children. Early treatment is necessary to prevent cardiovascular complications. The acute phase of Kawasaki disease may present with hemodynamic instability. An association between viral respiratory infections and Kawasaki disease has been reported. Studies have shown that Kawasaki and Kawasaki-like disease may be associated with and have symptoms overlapping COVID-19. Children with COVID-19 may present as Kawasaki-like disease with pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome, or macrophage activation syndrome. Clinicians need to be aware of the early diagnosis and management of Kawasaki disease to prevent the development of coronary artery aneurysms. The symptoms overlap of multisystem inflammatory disease seen in COVID-19 adds to the difficulties in timely diagnosis and treatment. Children with Kawasaki disease require regular follow-up plans for coronary artery aneurysms. This adds to the difficulties during the changed environment of COVID-19 for control and prevention. Missed diagnosis and early treatment of Kawasaki disease with immunoglobulin and aspirin results in the development of coronary artery aneurysm in up to 25% of cases, with grave consequences. Here, we briefly review the management of typical and atypical Kawasaki disease which has symptoms overlapping with the multisystem inflammatory disease as seen in COVID-19.Publication Researcher’s Personal Profile on Academic Social Network Sites: Connection, Visibility, and Impact of Academic Work(Institute of Medicine, 2021) Shah, JayABSTRACTA A researcher's personal profile helps communicate and increase the visibility for academic work.
