Rain brings joy and happiness but with this also come diseases that may hamper your plans for monsoon season. Keep up good health in the rainy season by following some simple tips.

Viral infections have become a talk of the town these days. Be it the capital city or other states, people are down with viral fever and other viral infections. Viral infections mostly affect the nose, throat, nervous, and gastrointestinal systems.

Many of the viruses infecting us today have ancient evolutionary histories that date back to the first vertebrates and perhaps the first animals in existence, a study has found.

Since dengue and Zika are related viruses, the researchers reasoned that an antibody that prevents dengue disease may do the same for Zika.

 Dengue, chikungunya, malaria, the flu – there are all sorts of possibilities. However, the good news is that they are very much preventable.

Researchers identified 11 genetic markers in blood that accurately distinguished between viral and bacterial infections.

According to researchers, currently available drugs for various conditions might be repurposed alone or in combination with other drugs to treat infectious diseases.

Although the rainy season is nothing short of a blessing in disguise, providing the much needed relief from the scorching heat of the summer, monsoon showers can leave you with an infection, an allergy, or problems with digestion.

Treatment of viral fever is symptomatic with the use of antipyretic and analgesic drugs. 

Only prevention and control of mosquitoes can ensure long-term protection against dengue and chikungunya.

This season, many states across the country, including Delhi, are grappling with rising cases of mosquito-borne illnesses, mainly dengue, chikungunya, and malaria.

Till July 28, 9,990 suspected chikungunya cases have been recorded in the country. Also, over 15,000 cases of dengue have been reported across the country this year.

The methodologies currently available to the public health system and private labs and hospitals may also produce false positives for dengue in patients with Zika because the two viruses are so similar.
