“…The study carried out by us depicted a sharp rise in positive samples from year 2017 to 2019, in support of earlier data presented [11, 13,14]. The frequencies of infected cases also were higher in months corresponding to monsoon season [3,4,15].…”

“…This fever is caused by the Aedes aegypti mosquito bite and is manifested by four dengue viruses occurring in tropical and subtropical areas of the world including India. Its severity ranges from dengue fever (DF) and dengue hemorrhages fever (DHF) to dengue shock syndrome (DSS) in India and around the globe [1][2][3][4][5]. Each one has its own unique manifestation depending on its interaction with the host's response [4][5][6][7][8].…”

“…It is a major global public health concern, as more than 2.5 billion people are estimated with this infection [3,9] and more than 50 × 10 6 new cases are being projected annually [4,10]. Recently, the National Vector Borne Disease Control Program projected that dengue-infected cases are topped in Gujarat in comparison to Karnataka [11], although other states and union territories showed marginal increments till 2019 and then exhibited a decline in dengue cases due to probable increased controlling measures and better sanitization facilities in India.…”

“…Outbreaks and deaths due to this have been recorded in the last decade from the Northern states of Haryana, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh, Southern states of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka, Western parts of Gujarat and Rajasthan, as well as the Eastern states like West Bengal [3,4]. In Gujarat, as percentage of dengue cases increases continuously; this work has been undertaken to investigate this outbreak in four districts, namely Ahmedabad, Baroda, Jamnagar, and Anand.…”

Dengue fever (DF) is a mosquito-borne viral disease occurring in tropical and subtropical areas including India. It is manifested by symptoms like fever, headache, rashes, muscle, and joint pains. In our country, Gujarat is one of the highest infected states by this disease due to mosquito bites. Blood samples from such cases were collected and assessed for blood counts, serum transaminases, and blood smears from only positive patients using standard protocols. Real-time PCR (RT-PCR) technique was also employed for virus detection. Of 1020 referral cases, from Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Jamnagar, and Anand districts, 184 cases were detected positive (18.03%) from October 2016 to December 2019 (39 months) being highest in 2019. Males had a high frequency (52%) of infection when compared to females (48%), affecting young age groups ranging from moderate to higher level. Furthermore, Ahmedabad district (57%) had a high percentage of infection, compared to others. Marked alterations were also observed with respect to serum glutamate-pyruvate transaminase and serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, platelets, lymphocytes, and WBC counts in positive cases of 0-20, 21-40, and 40-50 year age groups. Reduced platelet clumping and severe thrombocytopenia (59%) in these cases are early diagnostic markers of dengue, supporting RT-PCR method. Thus from our study, we conclude that dengue infection is caused by various factors such as sex, climate, population, and environment. This outbreak is hence controlled by following health measures strictly, imposed by health departments in Gujarat, Western India.

Background: Through this research work prepared two different variety of Homoeopathic medicated hair oil by mixing Robinia, Embelica officinalis and Jaborandi mother tincture in a coconut oil as simplex and complex variety which undergoes into qualitative analysis done by UV-VIS spectrophotometer. Methodology: For the preparation of Homoeopathic medicated Hair oil as simplex and complex variety. The drug and vehicle ratio should be taken as (1:9) with virgin coconut oil as 9 part and Jaborandi, robinia, Emeblica officinalis mother tincture as 1 part, which undergoes into the indirect heating under Hot water bath at 80 °C Until and unless the solution became homogeneous. Afterwards filter with Filter paper and taken as 1 part of it and again mixed with 9 parts of virgin olive oil as a vehicle. Prepared the simplex variety by mixing Jaborandi-Q, Embelica-Q and Robinia-Q in virgin coconut oil separately, whereas prepared mixed variety of Homoeopathic Medicated hair oil by mixing Jaborandi-Q, Embelica officinalis-Q and Robinia-Q in virgin coconut oil in a equal proportion and Filled into the hard glass bottles for observation under 15 days. Results: These samples were passes under the UV-visible spectrophotometer (Double beam) through which absorbance value of Jaborandi hair oil is 0.191 at 413.00 nm, 0.062 at 499.00 nm, Absorbance value of Emeblica officinalis Q is 0.048 at 698.00 nm, Robinia Hair oil is 0.092 at 699.00 nm, Mixed variety of Homoeopathic hair oil is 0.066 at 699.00 nm, Jaborandi Q is 0.662 at 608.00 nm and Embelica officinalis is 0.977 at 562.00 nm and Robinia Q is 0.985 at 552.00 nm.

Background: Dengue fever and dengue haemorrhagic fever currently rank highly among the newly emerging infectious diseases and are the most important arboviral disease worldwide. Dengue virus can be distinguished by both serological and molecular methods. This study was aimed at analysing the prevalence and laboratory dynamics of the four dengue serotypes in tertiary care patients attending GMERS Medical College Gandhinagar. Material & methods: This study was an observational retrospective study. A total 105 samples were tested for Dengue serotyping by RT-PCR. Results: Among positive patients Dengue virus serotype-2 was the most common serotype 94 (89%) followed by DENV3 7(6%) and DENV4 2(2%). Co-infection with DENV 2/4 was 2(2%). A higher prevalence of dengue haemorrhagic fever was noted in serotype 2 compared to serotypes 3, 4, and coinfection. Thrombocytopenia was present in all serotypes of infection. There was a significant difference in the disturbance of liver function in DENV2, as compared to others serotype. Dengue serotype 2 was very common in rural areas, while dengue serotype 3 was seen in the urban Gandhinagar zone. Discussion: Dengue is the most extensively spread mosquito-borne disease.As per previous studies most common prevalent and severity of serotype wasDENV2,however in our study we were able to identify DENV3, DENV4 and confection with serotypes (DENV2 & DENV4).
