Abstract

Abstract Introduction: Virus-borne diseases have recently gained significant public health importance. Viruses infect several hosts, including animal reservoirs, evolve quickly, and recombine emerging and reemerging to pose recurring dangers to humans. The Viral Research and Diagnostic Laboratory (VRDL) located at Government Theni Medical College, Theni, Tamil Nadu, conducts the diagnosis of common virus infections. Methods: From January 2018 to December 2022, the VRDL received whole blood sera samples from 84,059 patients suspected of having various viral illnesses. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect viral infections in all of the samples. Results: A total of 84,059 individuals suspected for various viral infections have been tested and out of these 4948 (5.88%) cases have been reported to be positive and among them, the dengue virus is predominantly followed by, hepatitis B virus, chikungunya virus, hepatitis C virus, hepatitis A virus, hepatitis E virus, hepatitis B virus, herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus, and rubella virus. Conclusion: The issue of emerging and re-emerging infectious illnesses, particularly those caused by viruses, has grown in importance in public health. Timely action combined with proper information and the ability to diagnose infections may save many lives.

各种病毒性疾病的血清患病率:一项基于医院的研究

摘要导言:近年来，病毒传播疾病在公共卫生领域具有重要意义。病毒感染多种宿主，包括动物宿主，迅速进化，重新组合，新出现和再出现，对人类构成反复出现的危险。位于泰米尔纳德邦特尼市特尼政府医学院的病毒研究和诊断实验室(VRDL)对常见病毒感染进行诊断。方法:2018年1月至2022年12月，VRDL收集了84059例疑似各种病毒性疾病患者的全血样本。采用酶联免疫吸附法检测所有样品的病毒感染情况。结果:共检测各类病毒疑似感染者84,059例，其中4948例(5.88%)呈阳性，其中登革热病毒次之，其次为乙型肝炎病毒、基孔肯雅病毒、丙型肝炎病毒、甲型肝炎病毒、戊型肝炎病毒、乙型肝炎病毒、单纯疱疹病毒、巨细胞病毒和风疹病毒。结论:新出现和再出现的传染病问题，特别是由病毒引起的传染病，在公共卫生中日益重要。及时的行动加上适当的信息和诊断感染的能力可以挽救许多生命。
