Zusammenfassung: | Dermatophytosis is a common dermatological problem encountered in Dermatology outpatient department. It was described as ldquoBread and Butter of dermatologistrdquo. A decade earlier patients were coming for the treatment of Tinea cruris and Tinea corporis to a Dermatologist and a course of antifungal agents were bringing smile and satisfaction to the patient. Today even after the completion of a course of antifungal agents patients are not satisfied and are coming with persistence of lesions and new lesions. Hence a doubt has emerged whether the Dermatophytes have developed resistance to antifungal agents.nbspAim To evaluate the donor deferral rate and reasons for deferral of blood donation in a voluntary blood donation camp. Material and methods This is a cross sectional study conducted in a voluntary blood donation camp held at a Degree College in Davangere. Data regarding reasons for deferral were obtained by examination of individuals who came forward to donate blood and also by the information in the donor questionnaire.Results Seventy four individuals came forward for voluntary blood donation. Donor deferral was highest among women 70.42 and the causes were temporary like low hemoglobin levels 44 and low body weight 42.There were no permanent deferrals.Conclusion This study concludes that donor deferral is common among females and the reason for the same is low hemoglobin level and low body weight. |
