A Study Of Palmar Dermatoglyphics of Pulmonary Tuberculosis Patients in Bhavnagar District
Journal Title: National Journal of Integrated Research in Medicine - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Dermatoglyphics, the ridged skin covering our palms and sole, are not only found on human beings. All primates have ridged skin, and it can also be found on the paws of certain mammals and on the tails of some monkey species. Palmar creases develop during the 2nd and 3rd month of intrauterine life and are not influenced by movement of hand in utero. They are of considerable clinical interest because they are affected by certain abnormalities of early development including genetic disorders. In the present study 100 patients of pulmonary tuberculosis (sputum smear positive) were collected from the department of TB & Chest diseases, Government Medical College, Bhavnagar (Gujarat) and from DOT centers of Bhavnagar. Out of 100 cases, (77 males and 23 females) are of pulmonary tuberculosis (sputum smear positive). There was no statistically significant difference observed in finger print pattern in between male & female and total cases and control in this study.
