Community survey finds zero coronavirus infections among one hundred recovered dengue patients, suggesting post-infection antibodies may provide cross-reactive protective immunity.
The number of corona infections in India is rising quickly, yet those who have had dengue have been found to have developed internal immunity that helps them fight against corona. A community diagnosis survey was carried out in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India, in an urban practice area. A survey was conducted to find out the health state and sociodemographic characteristics of one hundred dengue patients. Data regarding their present state of health was collected. The right tools were used to analyse the data. Using Student's Z-test and T-test statistical analysis, the relationship between COVID-19 and dengue was examined. At P < 0.50, statistical significance was established. In the general survey, corona infection did not follow dengue. Among the 27 dengue patients under study, the median age of the population was 69% under the age of 19–27, 20% over the age of 28–40, and 3% of the patients were female and between the ages of 41 and 55. 43 (43%), compared to 56 (56%) were less likely. A set of questions was posed to 100 dengue patients, with a statistical significance limit of p < 0.50. It was determined from this study that none of the patients who had previously had dengue had corona infection. According to our research, the majority of men and women aged 19 to 27 who have dengue are not at risk of developing corona. We can also conclude that during dengue recovery, the body produces certain antibodies which help in the fight against corona and stop the virus from spreading.
