Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Japanese Encephalitis is numerically one of the most important causes of viral encephalitis worldwide, with an estimated 50,000 cases and 15000 deaths annually. About one third of patients die and half of the survivors have neuropsychiatric sequelae. Most of China, S.E Asia and the Indian subcontinent are affected by the virus spreading at an alarming rate. This study aims to assess the prevalence of Japanese encephalitis in the patients attending the microbiology department of MGM MCH. Data of patients from Jan 2017 to Dec 2017 were collected and analysed. Out of the 96 serum samples tested 7 were serologically confirmed for JE using Elisa. Seroprevalence was found to be 7.3 %.
