INTRODUCTION

Dengue fever, a mosquito-borne disease, is one of the emerging tropical diseases that appear primarily in rainy seasons. The number of dengue cases was increased in recent years in Nepal. Chitwan is one of the risky areas of dengue. This aim of the study is to find out the prevalence of hospital admission among the dengue positive cases.

METHODS

The descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among 323 serologically confirmed dengue fever positive patient admitted in Medicine Inpatients Department of Chitwan Medical College Teaching Hospital. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee (Reference number. 076/077-121 dated August 30, 2019). Data were collected from 1st September 2019 to 31st December 2019 using a structured interview schedule and record review. Convenience sampling was done. Data was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 11. Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was calculated, with frequency and percentage.

RESULTS

Among 1206 patient with dengue fever, 323 (26.78%) (24.29-29.27 at 95% confidence Interval) were admitted in the tertiary care hospital. Study findings revealed that out of 323 admitted patients with dengue fever, 182 (56.3%) patients were between 20-40 years of age and 179 (55.4%) were males.
