Background: Dengue fever is an acute febrile illness caused by 4 closely related viral serotypes of the genus Flavivirus. Dengue has a broad range of clinical manifestations and often with unpredictable clinical evaluation and outcome. So this study has been done to see the wide range of clinical presentation of dengue and its outcome.Methods: It is a retrospective study done in tertiary hospital during the period of 8 months. Study was done by collecting the previous records from hospital record section. There were 48 cases of serologically confirmed cases of dengue which satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study. Results: In our study there were 52% of the cases of dengue fever, 16.6% of cases were dengue fever with warning signs and remaining 31.4% of patients were severe dengue. Common Clinical symptoms at admission were fever (100%), vomiting (77%), respiratory distress (56.25%), generalised weakness (54.1%) and pain abdomen (33.3%). Less common symptoms were loose stools (6.25%), periorbital puffiness (6.25%), altered sensorium (4.1%), oliguria (2%) and bleeding manifestations (2%). Out of these dengue children 70.8% of these children improved without complication, 20.8 % of children improved with complication, in the form of ARDS, acute liver failure, DSS, meningitis, 6.25 % of these children went DAMA and  2 % of children expired.Conclusions: In our study atypical presentations like respiratory distress, loose stools meningitis were commonly noted and bleeding manifestation at admission was rare in our study. Platelet transfusions have little role in management of dengue patients. Early diagnosis, careful monitoring and proper fluid management goes a long way in reducing the mortality due to dengue hemorrhagic fever and shock syndrome.

Objective: To identify the pattern of spatial distribution and temporal evolution of leprosy, taking into account the clinical, demographic and territorial aspects of Vila Santo Antônio do Prata, a municipality considered to be hyperendemic, in the state of Pará from 2003 to 2013. Methods: This is a ecological, observational and retrospective study. The study was the former colony of leprosy, now known as the Vila de Santo Antônio do Prata. Results: High rates of detection of new cases of leprosy were observed with a hyperendemic detection coefficient from 2003 to 2009. The spatial distribution of total cases of leprosy presents a pattern of distribution with several outbreaks, in which the incidence of multibacillary cases. The trend estimates for 2020 has shown that Brazil will maintain the index in slow and gradual reduction, while the state of Pará will continue with high rates of hyperendemicity and the municipality of Igarapé-Açu will surpass the North region. Conclusion: It is suggested that there is an active transmission dynamic in Vila Santo Antônio do Prata area evaluated with the need for constant monitoring of new cases of leprosy.

The objective of the study was to analyze the effect of vitamin C in the management of Dengue fever in the tertiary care hospitals of selected three states of India (Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Madhya Pradesh). This retrospective study was carried out for a period of 6 months from November 2017 to April 2018, in which 200 patients were selected by considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. It included 100 patients who were administered with Vitamin C and another 100 patients who were not given Vitamin C. All data were entered into the prepared PROFORMA. Mainly the increase in platelet counts and the duration of the hospital stay for both categories of patients were studied. Majority of dengue cases were in Tamil Nadu, followed by Kerala and then Madhya Pradesh depending upon the seasonal variations. Occurrence in male patients (58.5%) were more than female patients (41.5%). The most commonly affected age group ranges from 0-15 years (35.5%). Among the various types of dengue fever, a large number of patients had common dengue fever (87.5%). The 100 patients who were treated with vitamin C were mostly administered by oral routes. It was seen that the patients who were administered with Vitamin C had a greater percentage increase in their platelet count and a shorter duration of hospital stay. Study indicates that there exists an association between Vitamin C intake and length of hospital stay.

Guangzhou City

The spatial pattern of dengue fever cases is the result of complex interactions between the virus, the host and the vector, which may be affected by environmental conditions. The largest outbreak of dengue fever in Guangzhou city, China occurred in 2014 with case numbers 2.7 times the number of cumulative cases since 1978 and a significantly non-random spatial distribution. Selecting Guangzhou City as the study area, we used scan statistics to analyze the spatial heterogeneity of dengue fever and a generalized additive model to evaluate and examine the effects of socio-economic and environmental factors on spatial heterogeneity at a fine scale. The study found that the spatial distribution of dengue fever is highly heterogeneous and various factors differ in relative importance. The junction of the central districts of Guangzhou is a high-risk area with the urban village and urban-rural fringe zone formed by urbanization as important regional factors. The low gross domestic product per capita, the high population density, the high road density were perceived as risk factors. The Asian subtropical coastal area together with the socioeconomic and environmental factors were found to be the key drivers at the fine scale explaining the high spatial heterogeneity of dengue fever in Guangzhou City.
