Abstract

The escalating impact of dengue infection on health and mortality is a critical global issue. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the current trends of dengue infection in India. We searched through a wide range of internet databases to gather comprehensive studies on the incidence, prevalence, sero-prevalence, cost effectiveness and mortality rate of dengue infection in India from 2014 to 2023 (10 years) in a total of 127 studies. Analysis shows significant heterogeneity (diversity) in reported outcomes (p-values < 0.001). Thus, public health strategies should include early detection of dengue infection in our country.
