Correlation of disease spectrum among four Dengue serotypes: a five years hospital based study from India.
The recognition of DF (DHF Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever) is very complicated due to occurrence of a wide spectrum of clinical signs and symptoms during acute phase of illness. Moreover, presence of four serotypes further complicates the prognosis. To investigate the predictors of disease severity and elucidate the prognostic markers among four dengue serotypes, this study was conducted on 320 inpat...
متن کاملClimate Change, Population Immunity, and Hyperendemicity in the Transmission Threshold of Dengue
BACKGROUND It has been suggested that the probability of dengue epidemics could increase because of climate change. The probability of epidemics is most commonly evaluated by the basic reproductive number (R(0)), and in mosquito-borne diseases, mosquito density (the number of female mosquitoes per person [MPP]) is the critical determinant of the R(0) value. In dengue-endemic areas, 4 different ...
متن کاملViral Vaccines for Dengue: The Present and the Future
Infection with dengue viruses, of which there are four antigenically distinct serotypes, has reemerged as a significant global public health threat. Sequential infection in areas of hyperendemicity, where multiple serotypes co-circulate, has the potential to trigger life-threatening disease. Therefore, a safe and effective dengue vaccine must be ‘tetravalent’ capable of providing solid and long...
متن کاملDengue antibodies in blood donors
BACKGROUND Dengue is an urban arbovirus whose etiologic agent is a virus of the genus Flavorius with four distinct antigen serotypes (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3 and DENV-4) that is transmitted to humans through the bite of the mosquito Aedes aegypti. The Campo Mourão region in Brazil is endemic for dengue fever. OBTECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of IgG and IgM antibodie...
متن کاملDengue/dengue hemorrhagic fever: the emergence of a global health problem.
Dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) are caused by one of four closely related, but antigenically distinct, virus serotypes (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN3, and DEN-4), of the genus Flavivirus (1). Infection with one of these serotypes does not provide crossprotective immunity, so persons living in a dengueendemic area can have four dengue infections during their lifetimes. Dengue is primarily an urba...
