    INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Management of infections caused by ESBL producers is a challenge and expensive. Known associations for ESBL-UTI include recent hospitalizations, recent treatment with cephalosporins, quinolones ...
  • Predicting acute liver failure in dengue infection 
    Ranawaka, C.K.; Kumarasena, R.S.; Niriella, M.A.; Miththinda, J.K.N.D.; Pathmeswaran, A.; Dassanayake, A.S.; de Silva, A.P.; Premaratna, R.; de Silva, H.J. (Wiley Blackwell Scientific Publications, 2012)
    BACKGROUND AND AIM: Dengue infections (DI) have a diverse clinical spectrum ranging from asymptomatic illness to severe dengue. Unusual manifestations such as encephalitis, myocarditis, and acute liver failure (ALF) are ...
  • Predicting acute liver failure in dengue infection

  • Predicting acute liver failure in dengue Infection 
    Ranawaka, C.; Niriella, M.A.; Kumarasena, R.S.; Miththinda, J.K.N.D.; de Silva, A.P.; Premaratna, R.; de Silva, H.J. (American Gastroenterological Association(AGA) Institute, Published by Elsevier Inc., 2013)
    BACKGROUND: Dengue infections (DI) can range from being asymptomatic to severe illness. Unusual manifestations such as encephalitis, myocarditis, and acute liver failure (ALF) have been recognized. ALF is uncommon, but has ...
  • Predictors of duration and degree of third space fluid accumulation in adult patients with dengue 
    Premaratna, R.; Ragupathy, A.; Miththinda, J.K.N.D.; de Silva, H.J. (Sri Lanka Medical Association, 2012)

  • Profile of gastric varices among Sri Lankan cirrhotics 
    Ranawaka, C.K.; Mettananda, K.C.D.; de Alwis, R.; Miththinda, J.K.N.D.; Wijewantha, H.S.; Niriella, M.A.; Dassanayake, A.S.; de Silva, A.P.; de Silva, H.J. (Wiley Blackwell Scientific Publications, 2012)
