There is a common belief that rabid dogs bite without provocation, hence a dog bite under provocation is free from the risk of rabies. This is not always true as is evident from the case report narrated below. Here in this article, a man of 38 years was bitten by a dog under provocation. He developed rabies 4 months after the bite and subsequently died. Autopsy revealed Negri bodies from the brain tissue.

Status epilepticus is a medical emergency, if not treated in time and effectively may cause significant mortality and morbidity. Medical therapy has been the mainstay of treatment but in refractory status surgical resection, multiple subpial transection, electroconvulsive therapy, caudate stimulation and acupuncture play important role. The present operational definition for adults and older children considers status as > or = 5 minutes of continuous seizure or two or more discrete seizures without regaining of full consciousness. Status epilepticus accounts for 1-8% of all hospital admissions for epilepsy. Physiological changes in generalised convulsive status epilepticus include transient or early (0-30 minutes) and late (after 30 minutes) changes. Temporal changes occur as tonic-clonic status epilepticus progresses. Management can be considered in two ways--out hospital management and inpatient management. Benzodiazepine is considered 1st line of treatment outside hospital. Emergency/inpatient management includes basic life support (0-10 minutes) and pharmacological management (10-60 minutes). Drugs used in pharmacological management are lorazepam, midazolam, propofol, phenobarbital, phenytoin, fosphenytoin, i.v. valproate, rectal diazepam, etc. The classical definition of refractory status epilepticus includes seizure that has not responded to sequential treatment of lorazepam, phenytoin or phenobarbitone or seizure continuing > 60-90 in spite of adequate treatment.

A multistate outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes infections with 46 culture-confirmed cases, seven deaths, and three stillbirths or miscarriages in eight states has been linked to eating sliceable turkey deli meat. Cases have been reported from Pennsylvania (14 cases), New York (11 in New York City and seven in other locations), New Jersey (five), Delaware (four), Maryland (two), Connecticut (one), Massachusetts (one), and Michigan (one). Culture dates ranged from July 18 to September 30, 2002; case-finding is ongoing. Outbreak isolates share a relatively uncommon pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) pattern.
