Abstract
Every year dengue outbreaks are reported from various parts of the country. A retrospective analysis of dengue cases was done from year 2014 to 2017 with a aim to assess the dengue burden in this part of country. Serosurveillance study was done on serum samples and were tested for NS1 Ag and IgM antibodies. Maximum number of cases were reported in year 2015 and peak of dengue cases was found in the month of October. A lot of work for prevention is still required to combat the disease.
Keywords: Dengue, ELISA.
