We describe the epidemiological characteristics, pattern of circulation, and geographical distribution influenza B viruses its lineages using data from Global Influenza Study. included over 1.8 million cases occurred in thirty-one countries during 2000–2018. calculated proportion caused by lineages; determined timing A epidemics; compared age B/Victoria B/Yamagata cases; evaluated frequency lineage-level mismatch for trivalent vaccine. The median virus was 23.4%, with a tendency (borderline...
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections are one of the leading causes lower respiratory tract and have a major burden on society. For prevention control to be deployed effectively, an improved understanding seasonality RSV is necessary.The main objective this study was contribute better by examining GERi multi-country surveillance dataset.RSV seasons were included in analysis if they contained ≥100 cases. Seasonality determined using "average annual percentage" method. Analyses...
Abstract Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one of the leading causes acute respiratory tract infections. To optimize control strategies, a better understanding global epidemiology RSV critical. this end, we initiated Global Epidemiology in Hospitalized and Community care study (GERi). Methods Focal points from 44 countries were approached to join GERi share detailed surveillance data. Countries completed questionnaire on characteristics their system. Results Fifteen provided...
Describe the influenza A(H1N1) pandemic in Bhutan.Observational study from sentinel surveillance sites.Bhutan remains isolated, with only one to two flights a day at lone airport, no trains, and three major roads that enter India.PCR positive human respiratory samples.The first case of A(H1N1)pdm09 infection was detected Bhutan July 2009, 3 months after virus reported Mexico April 2009. During official WHO period (11 June 2009 8 August 2010), total 2149 samples were collected tested by...
Influenza burden estimates help provide evidence to support influenza prevention and control programs. In this study, we estimated influenza-associated respiratory hospitalization rates in Bhutan, a country considering vaccine introduction. Using real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction laboratory results from severe acute infection (SARI) surveillance, the proportion of hospitalizations attributable each month among patients aged <5, 5-49, ≥50 years six Bhutanese districts...
Dengue continues to pose a significant public health problem in tropical and subtropical countries. In Bhutan, first outbreak of dengue fever (DF) was reported 2004 southern border town, followed by sporadic cases over the years. this study, we analysed DF outbreaks that occurred 3 different places during years 2016 2017. A total 533 163 2017 were suspected having DF, where young adults mostly affected. 240 acute serum specimens collected analyzed for serotype nested RT-PCR revealed...
A total of 300 clinical isolates enterococci, collected from patients admitted at Srinagarind hospital, were investigated for antimicrobial resistance and species distribution. Antimicrobial susceptibility to 10 agents was performed by disc diffusion method. Screening vancomycin the agar plate method minimal inhibitory concentration determined resistant strains microbroth dilution Enterococcus faecalis found be predominant (58.7%) followed E. faecium (35.7%) rest (5.7%) including hirae,...

Background: Bhutan is an extremely rugged and mountainous country covering approximately 38,394 square kilometers ; the altitude ranges from 75m to over 7000m 1. The Ministry of Health in had 3 sites for sentinel influenza surveillance when World Organization declared a health emergency on 29 April 2009. MOH increased 11 by May 2010 established PCR capability 2010. first two cases 2009 pH1N1 were reported 20 July samples collected 16 18 June Thimphu, capital. Prior pandemic PHL three sites,...
Recovered COVID-19 patients may test positive for SARS-CoV-2 a long time from intermittent shedding of viral fragments. A 36-year-old man who tested in the Czech Republic and recovered again Bhutan, 105 days beyond his first test. He experienced minimal symptoms without complications. Although no virological was conducted to rule out reinfection, repeat after initial recovery likely resulted prolonged dead particles than reinfection.
