Healthcare systems are currently ill-equipped to diagnose arboviruses rapidly and efficiently or to differentiate between various viruses.
Utilizing molecular techniques, this study examined arbovirus infections in 459 patients from a public health unit in Goiânia-Goiás, Brazil, a region where arbovirus infection poses a significant public health challenge.
Nearly 60% of the analyzed samples tested positive for at least one arbovirus, and over 10% of the patients were co-infected with more than one virus.
Fast and accurate diagnostic tools are essential for informing public health policy and enhancing epidemiological surveillance.
医疗体系目前还无法快速有效地诊断虫媒病毒，也无法区分不同的病毒。
本研究利用分子技术，对来自巴西戈亚斯州戈亚尼亚公共卫生部门的 459 名患者的虫媒病毒感染情况进行了检测，该地区的虫媒病毒感染对公共卫生构成了重大挑战。
分析的样本中近 60%至少有一种虫媒病毒呈阳性，超过 10%的患者同时感染了一种以上的病毒。
快速准确的诊断工具对于制定公共卫生政策和加强流行病学监测至关重要。
