Ectopic atrial rhythm with progressively increasing exit block.

A case of ectopic atrial rhythm with progressively increasing exit block is reported in a case of ischemic heart disease. Such a rhythm suggests significantly diseased atria which are unable to sustain a regular rhythm for a long period. This arrhythmia should warn the clinician of impending atrial arrest.

Comparative evaluation of coagglutination and latex agglutination test (Rotalex kit) for detection of rota virus.

Coagglutination test was compared with commercially available latex agglutination test (Rotalex kit) for detection of rota virus in faecal samples from clinically suspected cases of viral gastroenteritis. Out of 80 test samples 16 (20%) and 20 (25.3%) were positive for rota virus antigen by Rotalex kit and coagglutination test respectively. All the 40 controls were negative for viral antigen by Rotalex kit and only one gave positive result by coagglutination test. Coagglutination test was found to be economical, sensitive and specific for screening and rapid diagnosis of Rota virus diarrhoea.
