A recent rise in the incidence of a vector borne viral disease, Dengue Disease, in South Asian countries has also shown an impact on the pregnant population in these regions. There are four known Dengue virus serotypes, the predominant ones being DENV- 2 and DENV-3, when present during pregnancy could be associated with complications like preterm birth, maternal mortality and morbidity and adverse neonatal outcomes.[1]. We aimed to study the outcomes in the pregnant patients that presented to our institution with the Dengue disease.  Methods: A 6-month (1/9/2019 – 29/2/2020) study was undertaken during the months of high prevalence of the Dengue disease in our region. Clinical, laboratory, maternal and foetal outcomes were studied among serologically positive dengue mothers treated at MGM Hospital, Aurangabad. A total of 25 patients were found to have Dengue disease during the study period. NS1Ag and IGM serological analysis results were used to achieve diagnosis and early management. 7 patients had symptomatic thrombocytopenia and needed platelet transfusions. Majority of our patients had favourable outcomes. 3 mothers died succumbing to the multiorgan failure. Favourable maternal and foetal outcomes could be achieved with early diagnosis of suspected Dengue disease with both NS1Ag and IGM serological analysis.

Worldwide 20-30% of labour cases are induced. We conducted an analysis to evaluate the success of labour induction for indicated preterm birth A prospective observational study was conducted among 50 patients admitted in the Department of OBGY, MGM Medical College and Hospital, Aurangabad from 1st March 2019 to 31st March 2020. There was a total of 50 deliveries during this period. The preterm induction majorly includes 20-34 years as this is the commonest reproductive age group seen in our hospital. More number of Hindus underwent induction. Multigravida requires induction more as compared to primigravida. More number of patients were induced between 32-36 weeks, reason being PPROM, severe preeclampsia, IUD and severe FGR. Vaginal delivery is more likely irrespective of bishop score. Induction of labour remains relevant obstetrics procedure and its outcome will depend on proper choice of patients and close intrapartum monitoring
