Breast Carcinoma in a 7-Years- Old Girl

This is a case report of a 7 years old female patient diagnosed to have secretory carcinoma of the breast and secondary axillary lymph nodes metastasis after she presented with compliant of left breast swelling that lasted for about 6 months. It is a rare ( 1) type of breast carcinoma with distinct histologic features. Diagnosis of this carcinoma at fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is quite difficult and it is not a particularly aggressive tumor with excellent prognosis even in the presence of metastasis. Axillary locoregional lymph node metastases are uncommon. Several authors; therefore; recommend a conservative and non-aggressive treatment as much as possible. In her case; modified radical mastectomy with level II axillary dissection was done without hormonal or chemotherapy. So far; the therapeutic approach tends to be fairly flexible

Intensity of intestinal parasite infestation in a small farming village; near Lake Tana; Ethiopia

Of the 806 people in Gebaba Village; 192 were examined for intestinal parasites. The overall prevalence was 61 per cent. The mean intensity of infestation for A. lumbricoides generally fell with age. Of the total nematode egg counts; 41 per cent was harboured by children below 10 years of age. The cure rate with a single dose of levamisole (Ketrax) for A. lumbricoides was 94 per cent and for T. trichiura and Hookworm 100 per cent. The study has an important implication in understanding the epidemiology of intestinal parasites and in the design of community based control programmes
