Molecular approach for
diagnosis of Rickettsia
 A clinical
meeting organized by the Department of Microbiology, MMC
entitled "Molecular
approach for diagnosis of Rickettsia: A collaborative
initiative by the Dept. of Medicine & Microbiology"
was held today (12.12.13) at 8.30 am in the hospital conference room
of Mymensingh Medical College Hospital. Dr. Faria Ferdouse,
presented the topic and Dr. Shyamal Kumar Paul, Associate

Sutradhar, Professor of Medicine. It is very relevant to mention
here that this is the first report of molecular approach for
Rickettsial diagnosis including species (Rickettsia felis) in
Bangladesh.
Successful PCR in laboratory
diagnosis of Rickettsial disease
Since the
introduction of PCR in the Department of Microbiology,
Mymensingh Medical College in 2008. We have successfully
diagnosed many
 infectious diseases like
Tuberculosis including MDR TB, Kala-azar including PKDL, Genital
Chlamydia, MRSA, ESBL, Diarrhoeagenic Esch coli and Campylobacter spp. In continuation of this molecular
diagnostic approach, in this year PCR was used for the diagnosis
of Rickettsial disease for which suitable tests are not
available. Rickettsial culture is very difficult as well as
hazardous done only in reference laboratories. This is first
time PCR was used and standardized for specific laboratory
diagnosis of Rickettsial fever in collaboration with Sapporo
Medical University Japan under direct supervision of Professor
Nobumichi Kobayashi since January 2013. After repeated trial and
error, finally in September, 2013 Rickettsial disease was
successfully diagnosed by Nested PCR using blood specimen from
clinically and serologically suspected cases with a sensitivity
of 48% out of 100 suspected cases.
Lab diagnosis of Rickettssia by
PCR in
Bangladesh
Lab diagnosis
of Rickettssia by PCR in Mymensingh Medical College, Mymensingh,
Bangladesh by Professor Nobumichi Kobayashi, Sapporo Medical
Universitay Japan. Professor
Nobumichi Kobayashi, Sapporo Medical Universitay Japan has
arrived in the department of Microbiology, Mymensingh Medical
College for 7 days visit from January 14, 2013 to January 20,
2013. This is his 10th since 2005. He came here to
supervise a PhD student Dr. Salma Ahmed, Assistant professor of
this department under JSPS RONPAKU PhD program. Another student
Dr. Shyamal Kumar Paul, Associate Professor, obtained PhD from
this department under this program in 2009.
 In this
program a student works for 9-11 months in Bangladesh and 1-3
months in Japan. This time he came to establish laboratory
diagnosis of Rickettssial fever by PCR, first of its kind in Bangladesh. He
will also do some molecular works on Leishmania and MRSA.
The Department of
Microbiology, Mymensingh Medical College have many collaborative
research program with Sapporo Medical University since 2005,
including Rotavirus diarrhoea, MRSA, Puerperal infection, Genital
Chlamydia, Diarrheagenic Esch coli, Kalaazar including PKDL. This
time he will work on Rickettssia.
Professor Nobumichi
Kobayashi also trained our MPhil Microbiology students on PCR and
other molecular techniques and he is kindly providing costly
reagents for their research works. Recently (14-17 October, 2012)
