BACKGROUND Dengue fever is a seasonal and emerging acute mosquito borne arbo-viral illness affecting tropical and subtropical countries. This illness ranges from mild asymptomatic form to severe dengue haemorrhagic fever with or without dengue shock syndrome. In India, the epidemiology of dengue virus infection is very complex and ever changing. Infection has expanded over the last two decades to all regions of the country including hilly states of the northeastern region (Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland and Manipur). Aim-To identify dengue seropositive patients by NS1 antigen and anti-dengue IgM antibody detection by ELISA and correlate the changes in epidemiology. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study done from January 2016 to December 2017 with blood samples tested from clinically suspected cases of dengue virus infection.
ABSTRACT:The emergence of inhibitor resistant beta-lactamase producing isolates might be related to the frequent use of beta-lactamase inhibitors in hospitals and general practice. During a routine identification and antibiogram of gram negative isolates by the Vitek 2 system, two urinary and one sputum isolates of inhibitor resistant beta-lactamases showing concordant result with the Kirby Bauer disk diffusion method were detected. Paucity of data regarding the occurrence of these enzymes in north-east India is the rationale for reporting these cases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
