The influence of parental literacy and socio-economic status (SES) on infant mortality rate (IMR) was studied. This report is only a part of much larger community-based prospective study conducted to determine the factors influencing infant mortality in Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka, by the Department of Community Medicine, Kasturba Medical College, Manipal, with the financial assistance form IDRC, Canada. A total of 12,857 livebirths during the period of October 1, 1991, to September 30, 1992, where registered and followed up for one year. There were 391 infant deaths which gives an IMR of 30.4 per 1,000 livebirths. Univariate analysis and subsequent stepwise multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that, literacy and SES have a very significant role in reducing IMR.

Prevalence of atypical mycobacteria in sputum of patients undergoing treatment at a tuberculosis clinic.

A total of 4,554 sputum specimens of 3,943 patients were examined with a view to isolate atypical mycobacteria. Of these 604 (13.3%) specimens were culture positive for AFB, out of which 48 cultures (7.9%) from 47 patients were identified as atypical mycobacteria. Two patients were considered as probable cases of atypical mycobacterial disease while in the remaining 45 patients, atypical mycobacteria appeared to colonize the lungs without producing any disease.
