With the monsoons on the anvil, diseases like typhoid, malaria, chikunguniya, leptospirosis, dengue, etc. are not uncommon. Dengue, malaria and chikunguniya is caused as a result of mosquito bites due to stagnant water collected in puddles. The Sysdrome Evaluation System (SES) for Sepsis will be conducive to judicious diagnosis of secondary infections like Sepsis that occur as a result of dengue and chikunguniya in merely seven hours, according to Dr B V Ravi Kumar, founder, chairman and managing director of XCyton Diagnostics Pvt. Ltd.
Another widespread ailment which occurs during monsoon is leptospirosis. During early monsoons, the areas of Dibrugarh and Tezpur in Assam, experience an epidemic of encephalitis which could lead to seizures, tremors, hallucinations and temporary and permanent memory problems and disorientation. SES for Acute Encephalitis Syndrome proves a boon to doctors who can, with one specific test rule out possibilities and render suitable medication, he added.
