Mosquitoes may be the deadliest killer of man in history, primarily due to their ability to transmit a wide variety of diseases.<\/p>\n

While it is not uncommon to find cases of people infected with one mosquito-borne disease, co-infection with 2 or more mosquito-borne diseases is rare.<\/p>\n

In order to understand how common such co-infections can be, Suburban Diagnostics\u2019 conducted a retrospective analysis of 3,500+ cases of people who were tested for Chikungunya, Dengue and Malaria over the past 5 years.<\/p>\n

We found that overall co-infection rate was 0.25%<\/b> of the co-infection cases having:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
66.7% cases with a co-infection of Dengue and Chikungunya<\/td>\n22.2% cases with a co-infection between Dengue and Malaria<\/td>\n11.1% cases with a co-infection between Chikungunya and Malaria<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
77.8% were male<\/td>\n22.2% were female<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Ages ranged from 2 yrs \u2013 75 yrs<\/p>\n

(Median age: 35 yrs)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, 33.3% of cases were those with co-infection between diseases transmitted by 2 different species of mosquitoes<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, all the cases of malaria were of Plasmodium vivax species. The best way to detect co-infections is to perform multiplex testing.<\/p>\n

Suburban Diagnostics\u2019 Fever Detect 5 in 1<\/a> can detect Dengue, Chikungunya, Malaria, Leptospirosis and Typhoid from a single blood draw using PCR \u2013 thereby providing a quick and accurate result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
