ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Healthcare systems are currently ill-equipped to diagnose arboviruses rapidly and efficiently or to differentiate between various viruses.METHODS:
Utilizing molecular techniques, this study examined arbovirus infections in 459 patients from a public health unit in Goiânia-Goiás, Brazil, a region where arbovirus infection poses a significant public health challenge.RESULTS:
Nearly 60% of the analyzed samples tested positive for at least one arbovirus, and over 10% of the patients were co-infected with more than one virus.CONCLUSIONS:
Fast and accurate diagnostic tools are essential for informing public health policy and enhancing epidemiological surveillance.
