An Epidemiological Study on Burden of Psychological Morbidities and Their Determinants among Undergraduate Medical Students of a Government Medical College of Eastern India

Background: Medical education can impose a significant amount of psychological stress and strain on undergraduates. In India, there are limited shreds of evidence regarding the magnitude of different psychological morbidities (i.e. stress, anxiety and depression) among medical undergraduates.

Bilateral tubercular abscess of breast in axillary tail in a 21 year old puerperal lady.

Tuberculosis is a very common disease in the Indian subcontinent. Though it can affect any system of the body, primary involvement of the breast is relatively rare even in India. Involvement of the axillary tail is even rarer. Bilateral involvement is also a rare phenomenon (3%). Moreover the disease is often overlooked and misdiagnosed as carcinoma or pyogenic abscess. Here we report a case of bilateral tubercular abscess of breast in the axillary tail in a 21 year old puerperal lady diagnosed by FNAC and AFB stains and further confirmed retrospectively by response to anti-tubercular drugs.
