I found the Vaccine Reminder feature on your Website very interesting. My request is that this useful facility may not be restricted to Registered Users, but may be made available to all Visitors, who may like to enter their child's details and take a print-out of the Vaccine schedule.

DIAGNOSTIC DILEMMA:
This month’s diagnostic dilemma:Dr Jeff
2 and a half year old child presents with recurrent vesiculopustular lesions over palms and soles which are itchy in nature and resolve with a course of antibiotics and antihistamines. What is the diagnosis? Read the entire query in the DIAGNOSTIC DILEMMA…

Last month’s query of a preterm with chronic ventriculitis and hydrocephalus had several replies from the viewers. Most viewers have suggested poor prognosis and a probable last resort with antibiotics again. The authors have replied that they left the child alone with no more antibiotics and just continued with repeated ventricular taps. Finally, his CSF became normal and he could undergo a shunt surgery.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: These are questions asked by our viewers to the experts on the panel of Pediatric Oncall. Read what they have to say.

Dr Abdalatif Khorwatt: A 3 year old child who was diagnosed as a nephrotic syndrome is not cooperative in taking oral prednisolone. Can I use injectable methylprednisolone as an alternative drug?

Dr.VSS: Can you please tell me whether warfarin is safe in lactating mothers? Will it cause bleeding tendencies in the baby?

Dr Gehan: 11 yr old child came to OPD with scattered white hair. Older brother has same problem. What is differential diagnosis? What investigation is needed? What syndrome is associated with white hair?
