ABSTRACT
Dengue virus (DENV) has rapidly expanded its range through tropical and subtropical regions in recent years. This pathogen causes acute febrile illness (dengue fever, DF) and severe bleeding disease (dengue hemorrhagic fever, DHF) in humans. In this study we are trying to analyze the data obtained from the diagnosis conducted upon the Dengue suspected patients visiting tertiary care hospital, Sonitpur, Assam and to give a scientific evaluation to the pattern or spread of this epidemic disease. A total of 361 serum samples are analysed from suspected dengue cases during this study period. This study basically gives our research team to go more investigating the dengue viral expansion in coming days as we were able to discriminate among the patients on the basis of primary and secondary infections, what they were previously not examined for. Significant clue for the presence of secondary dengue viral infections (17.3%) among 10 different districts is found.
