Background: Worldwide, developed and developing countries are facing the double burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases. However, developing countries like India is more exposed and vulnerable due to multitude of factors. Objectives were to study the morbidity patterns of communicable diseases of indoor patients at tertiary care hospital and find out the seasonal distribution of the communicable diseases.Methods: A retrospective study was done over a period of 1 year from April 2016 to March 2017. 4766 admitted patients of communicable diseases were included using universal sampling method. Diagnosis was categorized as per International classification of Disease (ICD) 10 classification. Data was analyzed using spss 16.Results: Out of the total 4766 admitted patients, 62% were females and 38% were males. 56.40% patients admitted in the most productive age group (15-45 years) followed by 14.35% and 8.06% geriatric population and under 5 children respectively. Peak in admission was seen in monsoon season (July to Sept.). 34.54% patients were admitted for bacterial cause followed by 30.03% acute gastroenteritis (AGE). AGE, viral fever, malaria were more commonly seen in female while typhoid, measles, tuberculosis were more commonly seen in male.Conclusions: Many diseases have a seasonal variation and the burden of these diseases could be reduced if we take measures to detect the changes in their trend through the implementation of surveillance programs.

“…Of the total 5317 cases, 57.7% were males. A previous study was conducted in the state of Hyderabad, the sixth most populous urban agglomeration in India, where the sex composition of the population is 1:1,6 showed equal sex distribution of the disease 7. In a study conducted in west central India, Maharashtra, there was a preponderance of hepatitis, typhoid and acute diarrheal diseases in males 8.…”

The World Health Organization identifies the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in developing countries as infectious and communicable diseases. Health records coded uniformly using ICD-10 can form an accurate database and conclusions drawn from this are extremely important for understanding the public health situation.The aim of this study is to analyse the trend of intestinal infectious diseases recorded at a tertiary care hospital in India.A retrospective disease index study was conducted on data comprising 5317 cases from 2012 to 2016 for intestinal infectious diseases, analysed with ICD-10.Of these, 5.5% were from the age group 0-5 years; 57.66% were male; and 85% deaths in this cohort (62/73) were due to diarrhoea and gastroenteritis of presumed infectious origin.The findings of this study highlight an urgent need for health education among the population regarding infectious intestinal diseases and to redesign health promotion and preventive strategies for addressing these problems.

“…Kalyani and Shankar also found viral fever to be the commonest cause of disease burden. 6 In order to identify the most probable cause of these viral fevers during the present study, the causative agents in the previous years have been considered. In view of the rainy season and with the occurrence of Dengue or Chikungunya outbreaks in and around the region in the past, the possibility of Dengue was considered based on the symptoms.…”

BACKGROUNDViral fevers are the cause for admission in the hospital during certain seasons of the year. Commonly, the hospitalisations often increase in the monsoon period during the months of July to November in most of the regions across the world due to seasonal changes. The vector-borne diseases especially Malaria, Dengue increase with changes in the humidity, temperature, rainfall and pooling of water in the households. In this present study, an attempt is made to find out the probable cause of fever among admitted cases of viral fever.
