Abstract
Background: Viral and research diagnostic laboratories are the network of laboratories for managing epidemics and natural calamities which operates through 3-tier system pan India. Previously, the emphasis was only on viral diseases and outbreak but now also equally focusing on bacterial and other pathogen detection. The primary goal of this study is to highlight the sero-prevalence of some common viral and bacterial diseases tested in tertiary care centre with retrospective samples w.e.f. 01 January 2021 to 31st December 2021. Materials and Methods: The samples were collected from indoor and outdoor patients attending tertiary care centre. The samples were received in the Department of Microbiology, DRPGMC Tanda, Himachal Pradesh. The testing was done as per instructions provided with kit's manuals. Results: Among the viral diseases, the positivity was 8.47%, 7.39%, 3.41%, 1.34%, 1.64% and 4.64% for Dengue NS1, Dengue IgM, Hepatitis-A IgM, Hepatitis-E IgM, Hepatitis-B Ag and Inuenza respectively. While in bacterial diseases the positivity was 20.46% and 17.64% for Leptospira and Scrub typhus respectively. Among the age groups the age of 21-40 years was most prone to infections with 44.26% positivity. Similarly, gender specic statics showed that the male populations have more chances of infections than female. Conclusion: The summary of one year of testing have provided the disease load of common diseases and further analysis for two or more years may provide a clear picture of disease burden in and around of this teriarty care hospital.
