    (University of Khartoum, 2008) Tarig, Zuhair
    The aim of the research was to study the major risk factors and the presenting clinical picture in children who receive treatment for ALL in RIC-K & Jaafer Ibn Ouf Hospital in the period between June 2008 to October 2008. There were 100 patients in this period. It was a descriptive cross-sectional hospital based study. Sampling was simple random. Data was collected using a specially designed questionnaire and was analyzed using Microsoft office Excel computer software. From the results it was found that the most common presenting symptoms were fever 72 % and other symptoms 68%. 66 % of the patients presented with pallor, while lymphadenopathy was 60 %. Most of the patients were from Khartoum and the central Sudan & resided in the center of Sudan. Those were almost more than half of the study population. No single environmental factor could be stated from the study to be a definitive risk factor for ALL, but there were 5 patients (10 %) who had their mothers exposed to radiation in their pregnancy period. A larger study with a longer duration should be done to identify the common risk factors for ALL. It could be concluded that patients with fever and pallor coming from Khartoum & central Sudan should get more investigations to rule out or confirm the diagnosis of ALL in them.

    This is a descriptive, crossectional, hospital based study, conducted in ABU ANJA hospital in September 2007. This study aims to assess the sociodemographic characteristics of TB inpatients at that hospital. Necessary data was obtained by precoded interview questionnaire. Results showed that patients ages peaked at the third decade, and that most patients were males, and that most patients are currently residing in the capital area but most patients were originally from western Sudan, and that most patients could afford daily three meals and an adequate supply of milk, diary products and red meats, and that most patients didn’t have TB patient ‘s’ at home or work prior to their infections. The findings of this study suggest that larger, more professional studies are a necessity to truly estimate the burden of TB, and that more care for female patients at all levels is required to manage the real magnitude of the problem, and that all causes of negative immigration and displacement must be handled to prevent unexpected explosions in the problem, and that elevating the public awareness and carefulness regarding TB is of great importance to avoid all possible domestic and work Bourne infections.
