Poor health status could portend great hardships in daily activities, including monetary expenditures, loss of labour, loss of days and sometimes death. It also makes an important contribution to economic progress, as healthy populations live longer, are more productive, and save more. Importantly, better health is central to human happiness and well-being. In addition, dengue is considered as a leading cause of hospitalisation and death in children and adults. These age groups are considered as the active workforce in the country, with significant contributions to the national development. The highest number of cases is reported generally from the age group of 25вЂ“49В years followed by 15вЂ“24В years.

ДЄnnually a considerable proportion of the health budget is allocated for the management of dengue patients and controlling of dengue vectors. During 2016, 54,364 suspected dengue cases have been reported to the Epidemiology Unit of the Ministry of Health, Sri Lanka from all over the island indicating the highest ever number of cases per year. At present, dengue has become a serious public health concern in Sri Lanka. This disease has been recognised as a regular epidemic since 1989, indicating an exponential increase in the incidence within Sri Lanka. Symptomatic dengue illness is typically classified into dengue fever (DF), which is a self-limiting febrile illness, or a more severe form, dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF)/dengue shock syndrome (DSS). Infection with any of the four serotypes of dengue virus (DENV 1вЂ“4) can produce a wide spectrum of symptoms, ranging from asymptomatic infection to a severe life-threatening illness. This has arisen as a serious international public health hazard with almost half of the worldвЂ™s population at risk of infection. This may warrant healthcare professionals to incorporate mental counselling for dengue patients.Дengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease endemic in tropical and subtropical countries of the world. To our knowledge, this is the first report on delayed psychological morbidity related to dengue. Patients with past dengue had significantly higher depressive, anxiety and stress symptoms than the control group according to the DASS-21 and CESD-20 tools.

Limitations: a limitation is the small sample size. The DSM-5 depressive disorder was clinically detected by the psychiatrist among 15.1 and 7.5% in patient and control groups (OR 2.1 CI. The majority (90.6% nвЂ‰=вЂ‰48) of the individuals had been diagnosed with dengue fever followed by dengue haemorrhagic fever (9.4% nвЂ‰=вЂ‰5).

The ages ranged from 18 to 70В years and 64.2% were females. ResultsДЇifty-three participants each in the patient (mean age 42.9В years, SD 15.5) and control (mean age 41.6В years, SD 15.3) groups were surveyed. Self-administered Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21), Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CESD-20) and a structured clinical interview by a psychiatrist were done in the patients and in an age and gender-matched control group. MethodsДЄ community-based, caseвЂ“control study in a multi-ethnic urban setting was conducted in Sri Lanka involving adults who were diagnosed to have dengue fever by a positive dengue IgM antibody response between 6 and 24В months ago. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to determine the prevalence of depressive, anxiety and stress symptoms among past dengue patients. Although the physical consequences of dengue are well documented, delayed psychological co-morbidities are not well studied to date.
