Abstract
The seasonal pattern of the vast majority of infectious diseases promotes the spread of microorganisms that infect people. Infections can be made worse by a sudden climatic shift in the winter and summer. The goal of the study is to figure out how common winter and summer illnesses are in Durg. to gain knowledge about the causes, prevention, symptoms, management, and other effects of seasonal diseases. A self-created English questionnaire was used to conduct interviews with residents of Durg City. Regarding domicile, education, socioeconomic status, awareness of winter and summer illnesses, and other topics, a questionnaire was provided. Out of a total of 70 participants, 45% of men and 65% of women responded to the poll, and the most prevalent diseases among these individuals were allergies, stomach flu, the common cold, influenza, skin conditions, asthma, croup, and sore throats, urinary tract infection, and enteric fever. etc. The results of the knowledge exam about prevalent seasonal diseases in the winter indicate that 15% of participants know a lot, 66% of participants know something, and 19% of participants overall know nothing about these common diseases. In this survey, there were an overall 70 participants, of those 15% were extremely knowledgeable, 66% were only averagely knowledgeable, and 19% were unaware of these prevalent seasonal disorders. This study demonstrates that there is a lack of understanding and awareness of seasonal diseases. Even among young people, information is lacking. This study was conducted using questionnaires on individuals who were chosen at random in Durg, Chhattisgarh from January 2023 to May 2023. The survey reveals that the most and least infectious diseases in winter were flu, and seasonal depression whereas in summer it was urinary tract infection and enteric fever. during the period of Jan 2023 to May 2023 at Durg, Chhattisgarh.
