Publication Cyclosporine-Induced Alopecia in Childhood Nephrotic Syndrome – A Case Report(Perinatal Society of Nepal (PESON), 2024) Naj, Mohsina; Sk, Md HabibullahAbstract: Drug-induced alopecia, typically presenting as diffuse, non-scarring hair loss, is often reversible upon discontinuation of the offending medication. Cyclosporine A (CsA), an immunosuppressive agent frequently causing hypertrichosis, has been paradoxically reported to induce alopecia in rare cases. We report a 20-month-old girl with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome who developed severe alopecia due to a mistakenly taken high dose of cyclosporine. Upon discontinuation of cyclosporine, her hair began to regrow within a week. This case underscores the complexity of drug-induced alopecia and highlights the need for further research into the immune dysregulation associated with alopecia areata.Publication Incomplete Kawasaki Disease in a 27 days old Infant – A Case Report(Nepal Paediatric Society (JNPS), 2023) Sk, Md Habibullah; Saha, Bijan; Zamal, Ashadur; Bose, AdritaAbstract: We report a case of incomplete Kawasaki disease in a 27 days old neonate. The neonate presented with fever, cough, cold, and poor feeding, accompanied by a polymorphous rash. Neurological manifestations, including encephalopathy and convulsions, were also observed. Laboratory findings showed thrombocytosis, anemia, leukocytosis, elevated alanine transaminase and C-reactive protein. Echocardiography confirmed dilated coronary arteries. The administration of intravenous gamma globulin led to a prompt improvement in the infant’s condition. Although Kawasaki disease is uncommon in neonates, it can manifest as a rapidly progressing and severe illness.
