Summary: Due to its impact and its epidemiology, the black Sigatoka disease caused by Pseudocercospora fijiensis is a multidimensional problem, given the insured nutritional and economic importance by the banana and plantain in our region. The limits of existing therapies and especially the inaccessibility to the latter as well as the consequences in the environment and the health lead to the search for new sources. It is in this framework that this work has focused on the evaluation of the antifungal activity of extracts from 14 plants used in traditional medicine against fungal infections of the human resources in the Kisangani region. It has been tested by the method of inhibition of the growth of the mycelian explantant on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) medium in a Petri dish. The main results obtained show, after the evolution of the diameters of growth of mycelian explantants on media containing different extracts compared to the diameter of the light during the incubation period, that all plants tested have antifungal effects at different levels and/or moments during the incubation. And these effects have been observed either during the entire incubation period, or at the beginning of the incubation, or toward the end of the incubation, or only slowed growth in relation to the witness without as much completely inhibiting it. Carica papaya has been the only plant having kept its inhibitory effect complete for all forms of extracts tested.

Background: Dermatological lesions display a wide spectrum of diseases. Although common in the developing
countries, they are not considered significant on assumptions of being always non-lethal and insignificant but are
sometimes indicators to underlying systemic diseases. Aims and objectives: To observe and analyse the spectrum of
dermatological disorders through histopathological examination. Material and Methods: This was a prospective study,
carried out at tertiary care centre of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. A total of 127 cases including punch and excision
biopsies of skin were studied over a period of 1 year and 6 months. Results: Out of the total 127 cases, 56 were males
and 71 were females showing a slight female predilection. Skin lesions were divided into six groups of which
inflammatory, malignant & benign neoplastic; & infectious skin lesions showed female predilection while spongiotic,
psoriasiform and lichenoid skin lesions as well as leprosy and tuberculous skin lesions showed male predilection.
Vesicobullous lesions were found to be gender neutral. The overall male to female ratio was found to be 0.8:1.
Inflammatory lesions (33%) of skin formed the most common group of skin lesions in this study followed by benign
tumours/cysts (27.5%) of skin. Conclusion: Skin lesions show a wide variety of histomorphology and they are
sometimes an important manifestation of systemic diseases. Hence, a proper histopathological examination remains the
gold standard in diagnosing skin diseases.

Background: Candida infections are among the most common fungal infection affecting immunocompromised patients
in various disciplines of the health care system. In recent decades, due to dramatic increase in invasive fungal infections
and related more common use of the antifungal therapy, resistance to antifungal agents has become an issue. Objectives:
To determine the prevalence of candida species in various clinical specimen & their resistance to azole group of
antifungal agents. Materials & Methods: This study was conducted at tertiary care hospital during January 2014 to June
2015. Total 23,896 samples (urine, blood, high vaginal swabs, oropharyngeal swab, body fluid, corneal scrapping, etc)
were received over study period. Result: Out of total 8864 culture positive specimen, candida species were isolated in
644 specimens. Among total 644 Candida isolates, C.albicans is the most prevalent species (44%). Amphotericin B
(99.6%) had the maximum rate of susceptibility amongst all the antifungal agents, followed by Voriconazole with 94.8%
susceptibility. Fluconazole, Itraconazole & Miconazole were 73.3%, 73.44% & 74.22% susceptible respectively.
Conclusion: Azole derivatives represent one of the major groups of antifungal drugs used in clinical practice to treat
fungal infections. Empirical usage of Fluconazole in immune-compromised patients appeared to have played a major role

Electrolyte derangement is a common feature in anaemia. This study was undertaken to elucidate the effect(s) of ferrous
sulphate on the renal handling of electrolytes. 28 male albino Wistar rats were randomly assigned to four groups of 7 rats
each namely: the normal control given distilled water (10ml/kg body weight), ferrous sulphate administered ferrous
sulphate (75mg/kg body weight), anaemic control given phenyl hydrazine (40mg/kg body weight) and the anaemic
treated group given phenylhydrazine administered (40mg/kg body weight of phenyl hydrazine and 75mg/kg body
weight) and ferrous sulphate. Results show that mean Na+ and Cl- levels in the serum (P<0.001) and urine (P<0.01 and
P<0.001 respectively) of the anaemic control group was significantly higher than control and ferrous sulphate groups. K+
concentration in the serum of AC was significantly (P<0.001) higher than that of control and FES but significanlty
(P<0.05) lower in urine of AC compared with control and FES. The bicarbonate concentration of the serum and urine of
AC was significantly (P<0.05 and P<.001 respectively) lower than the FES group only. The levels of Na+, Cl-, K+ and
HCO3- in the AFES group were not significantly different from any of the groups. Conclusion: We conclude that ferrous
sulfate does not only restore Hb but also kidneys ability to handle electrolytes.
