Immunopathogenesis Versus Protection in Dengue Virus Infections.
Dengue viruses (DENV) are mosquito-borne viruses that cause significant morbidity. The existence of four serotypes of DENV with partial immunologic cross-reactivity creates the opportunity for individuals to experience multiple acute DENV infections over the course of their lifetimes. Research over the past several years has revealed complex interactions between DENV and the human innate and ad...
متن کاملT Cell Immunopathogenesis of Dengue Virus Infection
Dengue virus infections cause significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although initially believed to be an infection afflicting mainly the paediatric age group, this infection has been rapidly spreading across all age groups, with the first reports of the pandemic from South-East Asia dating back to the 1950s. Dengue virus belongs to the genus Flavivirus and has four serotypes, each of w...
متن کاملDengue associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis: a case series.
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is a rare complication of dengue. We present 8 cases of dengue associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis diagnosed in our hospital during the dengue outbreak of 2012. All the cases were treated with a short (4 weeks) course of steroids along with supportive measures, and showed an excellent response.
متن کاملDengue hemorrhagic fever with special emphasis on immunopathogenesis.
Dengue virus infections are a serious cause of morbidity and mortality in most tropical and subtropical areas of the world; Southeast and South Asia, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. Dengue virus infection can be asymptomatic or causes two forms of illness, dengue fever (DF) and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), which is the severe form of dengue illness and often fatal. Pathogenesis...
متن کاملOf cascades and perfect storms: the immunopathogenesis of dengue haemorrhagic fever-dengue shock syndrome (DHF/DSS).
The past four decades has witnessed a consolidation of the original observations made in the 1970s that dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS) have an immunological basis. Following reinfection with a dengue virus of different serotype, severe disease is linked to high levels of antibody-enhanced viral replication early in illness which is followed by a cascade of memor...
