A Prospective Study Of The Prevalence Of Dengue, Malaria And Mix Infections Along With The Correlation Of Hematological Parameters
A Prospective Study Of The Prevalence Of Dengue, Malaria And Mix Infections
Keywords:
Dengue, Hematological parameters, Malaria, Mix InfectionsAbstract
Background & Objective: A prospective comparative study was done to see the prevalence of Dengue, Malaria and mix infections in the patients attending in tertiary care hospital during a period of March 2013- February 2014. Study also included the pattern of changing Hematological parameters during infections. Methodology: Patients suffering from fever of more than 4-5 days were investigated for Dengue, Malaria and concurrent infections. Peripheral blood smear examination was done for Malaria while Rapid card and IgM & IgG ELISA were done for Dengue. Hematological investigations- CBC, Platelet count was done by sysmex auto analyzer. Results: Total 3650 samples of suspected cases tested for Dengue and Malaria. Out of 3650 samples 934 were positive of Dengue, Malaria and mix infections. Out of 934, 105 were Malaria, 816 Dengue and 13 cases of mix infections were found. In Malaria positive cases Hematological parameters showed anaemia, thrombocytopenia and Eosinophilia while in Dengue cases thrombocytopenia was observed. Conclusion: Prevalence of Dengue is more than Malaria in Moradabad during the study period. Hematological parameters of the cases Dengue, Malaria now are changing their patterns that are a serious matter of concerned. Even mix infections are also building up in the society that’s why Hematological parameters must be monitored regularly. [Mishra A NJIRM 2015; 6(4):27-30]
