Abstract

Background: Communicable diseases are often managed as per guidelines of Central and State Governments. But whether they are completely effective in controlling Communicable diseases development, this needs detailed study in highly populous state of India like Uttar Pradesh, where burden of Communicable diseases are Increasingly high. This becomes more important for District like Hardoi of Uttar Pradesh, where sufficient burden of  Communicable diseases is already present. Therefore this area needs an in-depth study in terms of treatment factors for Management of Communicable diseases. Methodology: This prospective Hospital study was conducted in a tertiary care institute in central Uttar Pradesh over a period of 6 months  from 1st July 2023 to 31st Dec 2023 (3 Months Period was finally considered for Observing Trend of CDs from 1st Sep 2023 to 30th Nov 2023 in Peak Period) after approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee. A total of 20,447 patients attending in outpatients(OPD)  & Inpatients (IPD) of various Medical departments of the institute hospital  were enrolled for the study and all relevant biochemical and microbiological tests were done. Results: The overall Communicable diseases in 3 Months Period which were diagnosed were 100% for Scrub Typhus,  32% for Dengue, 31% for Malaria. There were no mortality, only few referral from IPDs from CDs in Sep-Nov 2023 3 months period. Moreover very less no of Leptospira, Chickenguniya, JE cases were found in Sep-NOV 2023 due to many reasons. Conclusion: The overall management of communicable diseases was done exclusively at OPD level( > than 98%)  for  all Communicable diseases even for diseases like Scrub Typhus, apart from Dengue & Malaria. The management of these diseases was also done on IPD basis , with less no of Referral and no deaths. However IPD Management can be more strengthened in future for better services to patients with Communicable diseases. This IPD Management of CDs can also be studied in detail in  future studies.
