Laboratory profile of dengue fever

The objective of the present study is 1. To study the changing laboratory profiles in dengue viral infections. 2. To correlate these laboratory tests during the evolution of dengue fever and in assessing severity of disease. 3. To study the association of these profiles in remission of the disease. 4. And also to study factors involved in predicting prognosis.

Dengue Fever (DF), Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS) are topmost public health concerns today, especially in tropical and subtropical countries, mainly involving urban and semi-urban areas. In India, Dengue is hyperendemic (Category A) and is a notifiable infectious disease. Though gaps exist in terms of public health measures and health education among public, microbiological laboratory plays a crucial role in confirmation of dengue infection and estimation of burden of disease.

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.

Dengue fever is an acute febrile infectious disease, caused by any of four serotypes. Severe dengue infections may give rise to many complications such as liver failure, disseminated intravascular coagulation, encephalopathy, myocarditis, acute renal failure and haemolytic uraemic syndrome. ST segment and T wave changes in the electrocardiogram together with low ejection fraction and global hypokinesia on radionuclide ventriculography have been found. Hence, this study was intended to assess the cardiac manifestations in dengue fever patients.

Rickettsial diseases are an important cause of undifferentiated acute febrile illness. The lack of classical manifestations can make their diagnosis difficult. Even though the diseases are endemic in India, they are less reported from New Delhi and surrounding regions. Aim is to estimate the seropositivity of Rickettsial infections in cases of undifferentiated acute febrile illness from a tertiary care hospital in New Delhi and to analyze their clinical profile. This prospective observational study was conducted from November 2016 to March 2018.
