Osteopetrosis
A rare genetic disorder inherited in an autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked recessive pattern. In the majority of cases it is caused by mutations in the CLCN7, TCIRG1, or IKBKG genes. It is characterized by excessive bone formation due to the failure of osteoclasts to resorb bone. It manifests with deformities, fractures, hepatosplenomegaly, anemia, and extramedullary hematopoiesis.

A survey revealed more than 95% of vaccine preventable diseases (VPD) associated adult deaths have been reported in India. Pneumonia accounts for 39% (146/374) and meningitis for 24.3% (91/374) of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD), causing 38,811 confirmed cases and 2,266 deaths in 2017. Insurance Information Bureau of India also stated that “certain infectious and parasitic diseases” was the top insurance claim category in 2016-17. In light of this, it’s clear: Controlling VPDs in adults through timely vaccination is crucial. What’s your take on adult vaccination in India? Should India be doing more to integrate it into routine healthcare and national health programs?
