A New Tool for the Diagnosis and Molecular Surveillance of Dengue Infections in Clinical Samples
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dengue virus and dengue haemorrhagic fever are amongst the most important challenges in tropical diseases due to their expanding geographical distribution, increasing outbreak frequency, hyperendemicity and evolution of virulence. Here, the use of a RT-nested PCR for both the diagnosis and genetic characterization of dengue infections in clinical samples is described.

Dear Editor, Dengue is an important arbovirus infection. This infection can result in an acute febrile illness. The important hematological abnormalities included hemoconcentration and thrombocytopenia (1). Due to the decreased platelet count, the patient might develop petechiae and hemorrhagic complication. In endemic area, the presumptive diagnosis of dengue is usually derived by the cl...

Burn wound is a suitable environment for growth and reproduction of microorganisms. The tissue in the burn wounds is not live and do not have blood vessels so, polymorphonuclear antibodies and systemic antibiotics cannot diffuse into it. Thus, the condition of the wound is provided for the growth of bacteria and opportunistic fungi such as Candida, Mucor, Rhizopus, Penicillium, and Aspergillus....
