Survey on clinical characteristics and relationship with dengue virus type in dengue patients admitted to Quang Nam Regional General Hospital during the 2018 outbreak

One of the four pillars of the training strategy of Phan Chau Trinh Medical University is to link scientific research with clinical practice. Students not only are provided with basic medical knowledge and clinical skills, but also have access to scientific research from the very first years. Phan Chau Trinh University has established a Center of Research & Application of Gene technology in Bio-medicine (CRAGB) to conduct research and application in biomedical biomedical technology. Clinical practice is also a practice place for students to approach scientific research.

This year, dengue fever epidemic suddenly increased and happened complicatedly in all provinces and cities in the Central region. According to the Nha Trang Pasteur Institute, up to now, 11 provinces and cities from Quang Binh to Binh Thuan have nearly 17,200 cases of dengue, of which Da Nang city has the highest number of dengue cases in the region with about 3,600 ca. Some lowland districts of Quang Nam province such as Phu Ninh, Duy Xuyen, Dien Ban town, dengue fever also increased rapidly. Currently, the province has nearly 3,000 cases of dengue. The disease has increased dramatically in the past 3 months, causing many medical facilities to be overloaded, patients have to lie in a pair, transplant three. Meanwhile, there are very few studies on dengue epidemiology in the Central region. Stemming from the above fact, in November-December 2018, the CRAGB center of Phan Chau Trinh University implemented the first study with the topic "Survey of clinical characteristics and the relationship with the virus type. Dengue in Dengue hemorrhagic fever patient admitted to Quang Nam Regional General Hospital during the 2018 epidemic ”.

On December 27, 2018, the Management Board, Training Department of Phan Chau Trinh Medical University had a meeting and a scientific discussion with the hospital's leadership and the Medical Ethics Council at the Hall of Da Hospital. Regional Faculty of Quang Nam Province. This is the first time we apply molecular biology techniques in clinical microbiology at Quang Nam General Hospital to analyze the relationship between the clinical scene and the serotype of dengue virus in patients with dengue. The results obtained from the thesis have significant support for clinicians in the diagnosis of dengue fever and contribute to the epidemiological studies of dengue fever, greatly helping the prevention of dengue fever epidemic. blood and development of treatment personalized therapy. These practical studies will be of great significance for the patient and the community. This is also a new step in promoting the institute-school relationship in the field of scientific research. The Rectoral Board of Phan Chau Trinh University are very happy and hope that the topic is successful and there will be new scientific researches in the future.
