tailieunhanh - Clinico-microbiological study of dengue virus infection in a Tertiary care hospital

Dengue fever is an arthropod borne viral disease present as either a non-specific illness, dengue fever (DF) or DHF, DSS leading to hospitalization or death. In routine laboratories diagnosis is mainly based on the detection of dengue antigens (NS1) or antibodies (IgM and IgG) by ELISA kits. Objectives of the study are to find out the seropositivity of dengue virus infection in patients admitted in a tertiary care hospital and to study the clinical presentation of dengue in serologically diagnosed cases. The study was conducted Department of Microbiology, GMC Aurangabad. Samples from Clinically suspected cases of Dengue are collected along with clinical profile and Patients were divided into two groups, Group A containing patients having fever history of 5 days or less than 5 days and Group B containing patients having fever history of more than 5 days. Serum samples from both Group A and Group B were tested by Rapid Immunochromatographic Card test (RICT). In addition to RICT, Serum samples from Group A were subjected to NS1 ELISA and serum samples from Group B subjected to IgM Capture ELISA. Out of 390 clinically suspected dengue cases 138 cases () were serologically positive by RICT and or cases were positive by RICT. | Clinico-microbiological study of dengue virus infection in a Tertiary care hospital
