As an outbreak response, the Regional Medical Research Centre and Directorate of Health Services, Andaman and Nicobar Administration, has undertaken a comprehensive community-based survey to assess the impact of chikungunya fever and Aedes infestation levels.
What researchers still do not know is whether or how the severity or duration of a fever impacts development.
Some researchers estimate that ≈50,000 infections are severe enough to warrant medical attention (1, 4 ); however, reported infections represent less than a quarter of this estimate, creating uncertainty about the true impact of valley fever.
"The impact of valley fever on its endemic populations is equal to the impact of polio or chicken pox before the vaccines," John Galgiani, an infectious-disease physician who directs the Valley Fever Center for Excellence, at the University of Arizona in Tucson, says.
Conclusion: The seroprevalence was higher than expected but data were not sufficient to confirm the suspected negative impact of Q fever on pregnancy outcome.
Impact of chikungunya fever on socioeconomic status has also been tremendous especially in countries like India [1, 6].
The evidence of the impact of Q fever on pregnancy outcome mainly originates from French case studies of referred infected pregnant patients and pregnancies with Q fever diagnosed retrospectively after an adverse pregnancy outcome [ 7, 8].
By stratifying the fever control duration, we could also describe the impact of the fever control duration on VAP based on the cumulative incidence curve with the Nelson-Aalen non-parametric estimator.
We conducted a study in a rural area of Cambodia to estimate the cost and impact of an episode of dengue fever and other febrile illness on households.
We conducted a prospective, community-based, matched case-control study to assess the cost and impact of an episode of dengue fever and other febrile illness on households in rural Cambodia.
