Abstract

Dengue is an acute systemic viral disease that has been developed globally in both chronic and epidemic transmission periods. Dengue virus (DENV) is a member of the Flavivirus genus of the Flaviviridae family, which endangers public health. Limited studies have been performed in the Saudi Arabia and there are no epidemiological as well as molecular screening of DENV in the Southwestern region and this current study was conducted on the epidemiology of dengue in the Southwestern region of Saudi Arabia. Simultaneously, we have screened the 100 patients for DENV using the real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay. The current study results confirmed that 6637 people from various hospitals and locations in Jazan, Southwestern regions, were enrolled in this study from 2012 to 2020. The overall mean age was 30.02 ± 18.01 years, with 62.8% of males and 37.2% of females enrolled. This study included nearly three-fourths of the Saudi participants and one-fourth of the expatriates, and 56.6% of the positive cases were enrolled. In 2019, the most instances were enrolled, with 44% of positive cases. When screened using the RT-PCR assay, 93% of the positive patients were recruited, according to the quality control analysis. In conclusion, the current study results confirmed the prevalence of DENV was increased drastically since 2012 to 2020. High number of cases were registered prior to the Pandemic. The screening for DENV was performed with RT-PCR assay and NSI antigen should also be implemented to cross-check the results which was previously performed with RT-PCR analysis.

摘要

登革热是一种急性全身性病毒疾病,在全球范围内都有慢性和流行传播期。登革病毒(DENV)是黄病毒科黄病毒属的成员,危害公众健康。沙特阿拉伯进行的相关研究有限,西南部地区没有登革病毒的流行病学及分子筛查,本研究针对沙特阿拉伯西南部地区的登革热流行病学展开。同时,我们使用实时逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测法对100例患者进行了登革病毒筛查。目前的研究结果证实,2012年至2020年期间,来自西南部地区吉赞各医院和地点的6637人参与了本研究。总体平均年龄为30.02±18.01岁,其中男性占62.8%,女性占37.2%。本研究纳入了近四分之三的沙特参与者和四分之一的外籍人士,56.6%的阳性病例被纳入。2019年纳入的病例最多,阳性病例占44%。根据质量控制分析,使用RT-PCR检测法进行筛查时,93%的阳性患者被纳入。总之,目前的研究结果证实,2012年至2020年期间登革病毒的流行率大幅上升。在大流行之前就记录了大量病例。使用RT-PCR检测法对登革病毒进行了筛查,还应采用NSI抗原进行交叉核对结果,此前已通过RT-PCR分析进行过检测。
