Forest plot showing a pooled proportion of men (73.42%; 95% CI: 67.71–78.45) among adult tetanus cases.

The proportion was pooled using the random effect model and inverse variance method. A bibliography of the selected articles is provided in S1 File.</p

Age distribution of children with dengue (The bars represent percentage and the data within boxes show frequency; p-value was determined by Fisher’s exact test) The dengue infected children were predominantly male (61.8%) and were residing mostly in rural areas (76.4%).

Most of the children had no history of travel to an endemic zone within 2 weeks of onset of symptoms (88.6%). DF and DHF/DSS did not show any significant differences regarding sex, residence and history of travel to endemic zones. However, typhus fever was significantly associated with DHF/DSS (p = 0.044) compared to DF. (Table 1).</p
