“…This was comparable to the study, done by Deshkar et al 11 It is believed to be due to the intrinsically more permeable vascular endothelium and comparatively lower immunity in children rendering them more susceptible to dengue infections. 12 However, in the study conducted by Neerja M et al, high numbers of cases were seen in the adult age group.…”

Dengue is one of the most important arthropod-borne viral infections, widely distributed throughout the tropics and subtropics. It is endemic to the Indian subcontinent and associated with explosive urban epidemics and has become a major public health problem in India. The present study was conducted to detect prevalence of Dengue virus infection in Udaipur, Rajasthan. Materials and Methods: Serum samples from 640 patients clinically suspected of having dengue infection visiting a tertiary care hospital during the period of August 2016 to February 2018 were screened for the presence of Dengue NS1 antigen and IgM and IgG antibodies using one-step immune-chromatographic assay (Dengue Rapid IgM/IgG test and NS1 test by SD BIOLINE). Result: Out of 640 samples 62 samples (9.68%) were positive for Dengue virus infection. Out of total positive Sample for dengue virus infection, 61% samples were of male patients and 39% samples were from female patients. Among them 28% positive samples were from paediatric age group (Age 1-14 years) and rest were from Adult age group. Seasonal trend showed a gradual increase in Dengue positives starting from August with a peak in October. Most common presentation was fever (98%). Conclusion: Number of dengue cases is on increase in the region and continued surveillance is essential to determine epidemiological and seasonal trend.

“…With an increase in morbidity, mortality rates, and economic burden, understanding of dengue infection is essential to assist policymakers and public health managers to prepare for and control outbreaks with limited resources for both diagnosis and treatment. 2 Dengue was earlier considered as an urban and semiurban disease but in recent years, dengue has become endemic in rural areas of India as well due to water storage practices and large-scale development activities in rural areas. This has increased the scale of the dengue challenge in the country.…”

“…1 Dengue virus is a positive-stranded RNA virus in the genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae. 2 There are four antigenically related but distinct serotypes of the dengue virus: DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4. 3 Dengue was reclassified by WHO IN 2009 according to levels of severity as dengue without warning signs, dengue with warning signs like abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, fluid accumulation, mucosal bleeding, lethargy, liver enlargement, increasing hematocrit with decreasing platelets, and severe dengue which included dengue with severe plasma leakage, severe bleeding, or organ failure.…”

Background: Dengue is a vector-borne disease that is a major public health threat globally affecting three billion people with approximately 200 million cases of morbidity and 50,000 cases of mortality annually. It is transmitted to humans by Aedes mosquitoes. It is caused by the dengue virus (DENV, 1-4 serotypes). The clinical manifestations of dengue vary from mild fever to severe hemorrhage, shock, and death. It is critical to make an early and accurate laboratory diagnosis of DENV infection for effective patient management. Dengue is now no more restricted to the urban population, it has become endemic in the rural population as well. Aim and Objectives: 1. To find the seroprevalence of dengue virus infection in the tribal population of Gondia district. 2. To observe the seasonal variation of dengue cases. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted under the NVBDC program at the Department of Microbiology, GMC, Gondia which is the sentinel center for Dengue and Chikungunya. The Study was carried out from October 2018 to September 2020. Serum samples of patients with dengue-like clinical illness were subjected to IgM antibody detection by dengue MAC ELISA. Results: Seroprevalence of dengue in Gondia was found to be 12.37% (48/388). The most common age group affected was 21-30 years (39.59%). Males (54.17%) were affected more than females (45.83%). The peak of dengue cases was observed in September 2019. Less number of cases were reported in the year 2020. Conclusion: Newer diagnostic techniques, public awareness programs, better education, and proper monitoring of vector control are required to prevent dengue outbreaks.

“…Similar study by Smita T et al, also showed higher percentage of male cases than females with a ratio of 1.55:1. 5 Coinfection cases were analysed separately and it showed that only 1.5% of the total cases were positive for dengue and malaria co-infection. Even though there is no clear pattern in the monthly distribution of co-infection cases, out of 5 total cases 3 were during the time of monsoon.…”

Background: To compare dengue fever and malaria infection cases from a rural tertiary care hospital.Methods: Samples from January 2017 to February 2018 which had come to the Department of Microbiology at East Point College of Medical Science and Research Centre were included in the study. Serological diagnosis of dengue was done using the rapid dengue day 1 test which detects NS1, IgM and IgG. This test can be performed using serum, plasma or whole blood. Malarial parasites were identified by peripheral smear for malaria by Leishman’s stain and Jaswant Singh Battacharji (JSB) stain, rapid tests were performed by using advantage mal card, which detects plasmodium falciparum and plasmodium vivax by using human whole blood.Results: Monthly analysis is done for dengue samples and malaria samples were done during January 2017 to February 2018. Positive samples are then analysed according to NS1 positive cases, IgM positive cases, IgG positive cases, NS1 and IgM combined cases, NS1 and IgG combined cases and IgM and IgG combined cases for dengue. In case of malaria vivax and falciparum cases were compared. Samples are then compared among different age groups. Under 15 age- group there were 32 positive cases of NS1, 1 case of IgM and IgG combined positive and 1 case of P. falciparum infection. In 16-50 age-group 244 cases were dengue NS1 positive, 1 case positive for NS1 and IgM combined, 1 case for NS1 and IgG combined, 5 cases for IgM and IgG combined, 11 cases of P. vivax and 3 cases of P. falciparum. Above 50 age-group had 27 NS1 positive cases and 1 case of IgM and IgG combined. NS1 and Plasmodium vivax species positives were more from dengue and malaria infection.Conclusions: From July 2017 to October 2017 dengue and malaria cases were drastically increased. Malariacases drops from November to December 2017 and again raised from January to February 2018, which shows seasonal variations. So, we conclude that viral and parasitic infection mainly occurs in July to September months and has to be ruled by proper clinical diagnosis.
