Study of Dengue Fever Cases at a Tertiary Care Hospital of India | Chapter 11 | Innovations in Microbiology and Biotechnology Vol. 7

 Dengue is currently the second most widespread vector-borne illness in the world. Studying the clinical and analytical characteristics of dengue cases admitted to Sri Siddhartha Medical College and Hospital is the goal.

From June to December 2015, a hospital-based prospective study was carried out at Sri Siddhartha Medical College and Hospital. 150 seropositive individuals with ages ranging from 18 to 75 who were admitted to the medical wards were included. Clinical profiles of the patients were recorded. 88 men and 62 women out of 150 seropositive cases were male and female. The most common initial symptom was fever. Thrombocytopenia often ranged between 50,000 and 100,000/cu.mm. NS1 antigen, IgM, and IgG antibodies were all discovered to be seropositive in 70%, 7%, and 3% of patients, respectively.
