Abstract: Lymphadenopathy refers to the enlargement of lymph nodes that can be due to autoimmune disease, and malignancy or microbial infections. The lymph nodes, often referred to as lymph glands, are essential for the body's ability to combat infections. They function as filters, capturing viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens before they have the chance to infect other regions of the body. Frequently, swollen lymph nodes can be found in the neck, beneath the chin, in the armpits, and in the groin. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), β2 Microglobulin, Total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Albumin, Creatinine and urea were measured in serum of children with lymphadenopathy to help for diagnosis and monitoring of lymphadenopathy. The results Showed that, there was significant increase in serum LDH level and β2 Microglobulin, ALT, AST in children with lymphadenopathy compared to healthy control children (P value = 0.005), (P value = 0.006), (P value = 0.026), (P value = 0.004) respectively. there was no significant differences in serum level of total. bilirubin, direct bilirubin, Albumin, Creatinine and urea in children with lymphadenopathy compared to healthy control children (P value = 0.322), (P value = 0.098), (P value = 0.694), (P value = 0.837), (P value = 0.850) respectively.

Abstract: Background: Genital warts can be transmitted by vaginal, anal, or oral sexual contact with an infected person. Even without warts, the virus can spread. Methodology: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the Jabarona Health Unit in Western Omdurman City, Sudan. The study encompassed one year of consecutive incidents of genital warts. Approximately 150 women with genital warts were enrolled, irrespective of their demographic characteristics. Results: Among the 150 women surveyed, 68% exhibited poor personal hygiene, while 32% demonstrated acceptable personal hygiene. The prevalence of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) in the studied group was 3.3%, with 80% of those affected exhibiting poor personal hygiene. The association of LSIL risk in women exhibiting inadequate personal hygiene is represented by an odds ratio of 1.9184 (95% CI: 0.2086 to 17.6413), with a p-value of 0.565 and a z statistic of 0.575. The prevalence of koilocytic changes associated with HPV was 18.7%, with 19 out of 28 individuals (68%) exhibiting poor personal hygiene. The association between kiolocytosis and inadequate personal hygiene in women is represented by an odds ratio of 1.0165 (95% CI: 0.4215 to 2.4514), with a p-value of 0.9710 and a z statistic of 0.036. Conclusion: Women with poor personal hygiene had higher rates of cytological abnormalities and infections across all outcomes, but none of the associations were statistically significant (LSIL, koilocytosis, viral infection, bacterial infection, Candida albicans, and Döderlein's bacillus all had P-values > 0.05).
