Performance Assessment of the Ugandan National Programme of Immunization in Masindi: Analysis of Routine Data
Vaccine preventable diseases are making a come back in Africa. Investments in national programmes of immunization have yielded noticeable improvements in coverage and disease epidemiology. We reviewed diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus coverage (a multi-dose regime antigen) using data routinely collected at health centre level on immunization coverage and classifying health areas according to coverage of first dose and dropout rates between first and third doses. This analysis classifies health areas in four categories depending on access and quality of immunization services. We argue that this simple analysis can be used by district medical offices paired with a supervision system to improve immunization services.

Iodine Nutritional Status Among School Children in Selected Areas of Howrah District in West Bengal, India
This article is a study on iodine nutritional status among 1627 school children aged 6–12 years, along with biochemical analysis of iodine of 200 urine samples, 50 drinking water samples and 175 salt samples carried out in certain randomly selected areas of the district Howrah in Gangetic West Bengal. Results indicate that the entire region is clinically goitre endemic having goitre prevalence 38%; however the median urinary iodine level was 25 g/dl indicating no biochemical iodine deficiency, 70% salt samples had a recommended level of iodine and the region was found to be environmentally iodine sufficient. Consumption of dietary goitrogen and hard drinking water may have the possible role for the persistence of endemic goitre in the region.

Prevalence of Celiac Disease, Helicobacter pylori and Gastroesophageal Reflux in Patients with Refractory Iron Deficiency Anemia
Objective: The aim of this article is to determine the prevalence of celiac disease (CD), Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in patients with resistant iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Patients: The study included 25 patients 2 years and it was statistically significant (p = 0.05*). Also patients with H. pylori had age of presentation ≤4 years in five patients (41.7%) and the remaining seven patients (81.8%) had age of presentation >4 years and it was statistically significant (p = 0.03*). Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the risk factors for severity of anemia were age of patients and duration of anemia. On the other hand, other parameters have no significant influence on the severity of anemia. Also risk factors of short stature were age of presentation of anemia, degree of anemia and H. pylori infection. AGA had the highest sensitivity (100%) followed by antiendomysium antibody (81.8%) while the tTG antibody had the highest specificity (85.7%) for diagnosis of CD. UBT and histopathology had the highest sensitivity (100%) for diagnosis of H. pylori while rapid urease test, culture, H. pylori stool antigen and anti-H. pylori IgG antibody had the highest specificity (100%). In conclusion, refractory IDA may be due to clinically unapparent H. pylori gastritis and CD. CD is one of the most common causes of intestinal malabsorption during childhood which leads to impairment of iron absorption. Apart from offering them gluten-free diet rich in iron, early detection and treatment of IDA and prophylactic iron and folic acid supplementation will go a long way to optimize their mental and psychological functions. Eradication of H. pylori infection with concomitant iron therapy should correct the anemia.
