Abstract

Conference: 9th International Public Health Conference ( Bangladesh Medical Research Council Auditorium, Mohakhali, Dhaka. November 17-18, 2023)
 Our study aimed to analyze dengue cases and deaths, focusing on gender and age trends. Data from healthcare sources were retrospectively examined, revealing a 61% male to 39% female ratio in cases. Deaths, however, showed a 43% male to 57% female ratio. The 31-60 age group was most affected, constituting 48% of deaths, with 82% occurring within 1-3 days of hospitalization. Notably, the Case Fatality Rate was higher in females (0.71%) than males (0.34%). Serotyping of 445 samples indicated DENV-2 (65.6%) as the predominant serotype. Our findings stress the need for targeted interventions, considering gender and age disparities, and prompt care for Dengue Shock Syndrome.
