Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) is a blood disorder characterized by an abnormal decrease in the number of platelets in the blood. Acute thrombocytopenic purpura is most commonly seen in young children, with a sudden onset, following a viral illness, vaccination or an insect bite. The report is a rare case of ITP, which was triggered by a honey-bee bite and caused continuous intermittent bleeding from the gingival sulcular region of the maxillary left permanent first molar, and ecchymotic spots on the forehead, scalp, and lower limbs. A complete hemogram revealed severe thrombocytopenia with platelet count as low as 15,000/mm3. The patient was immediately hospitalized and administered platelet replacement and medication. With this report, the authors, as dentists, emphasize the significance of recognition, early diagnosis, and referral of such patients with bleeding disorders to specialized centers, for prompt treatment.

Olanzapine is an antipsychotic medication, which is approved for treatment of psychiatric illnesses among various age groups of psychiatric patients. Accidental consumption of olanzapine is uncommon among the paediatric age group. We report a case of accidental consumption of 15 tablets of olanzapine (5 mg each) in a two-year-old boy. It is important that clinicians are made aware of these reports of an overdose of olanzapine.

(Educational Society for Excellence, 2016) Nanda, GS; Singh, H; Sharma, B; Arora, A.

Detection and monitoring of adverse drug reaction was done by interviewing patients, consulting with physicians about the patient’s clinical problems, reviewing laboratory test and medical records. The data so collected was entered and analyzed using SPSS 21 software.Results: The Incidence of adverse drug reaction was observed in20.4% i.e. 21 out of 102 patients. Total number of adverse reactions developed in 21 patients were 31, with most common being GIT Nanda GS, Singh H, Sharma B, Arora A.

History of alcoholism,associated co-morbidities, pulmonary TB and DOTS treatment Category II were found to be significantly associated with occurrence of ADRs. Conclusion: The present study highlighted the importance of developing strategies to ameliorate ADRs both to improve the quality of patient care and to control TB safely. In addition, a proper educational counseling may promote more ADR reporting by patients. These strategies may improve the patient adherence to treatment and therapeutic outcome
