Dengue Infection in Children in Ratchaburi, Thailand: A Cohort Study. II. Clinical Manifestations
BACKGROUND Dengue infection is one of the most important mosquito-borne diseases. More data regarding the disease burden and the prevalence of each clinical spectrum among symptomatic infections and the clinical manifestations are needed. This study aims to describe the incidence and clinical manifestations of symptomatic dengue infection in Thai children during 2006 through 2008. STUDY DESIG...
متن کاملA Seroprevalence Survey of Dengue Virus Infection in Healthy Singapore University Undergraduates by Enzyme Immunoassay and Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test
A seroepidemiological survey was conducted from 1998 to 2000 to determine the seroprevalence of dengue virus infection in a cohort of healthy Singapore university undergraduates aged 19-26 years using a commercial dengue indirect IgG enzyme immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit (PanBio). Out of 184 volunteers, 41 (22%) tested seropositive, suggesting that 78% of this young cohort would be susceptible...
متن کاملDengue Infection in Children in Ratchaburi, Thailand: A Cohort Study. I. Epidemiology of Symptomatic Acute Dengue Infection in Children, 2006–2009
BACKGROUND There is an urgent need to field test dengue vaccines to determine their role in the control of the disease. Our aims were to study dengue epidemiology and prepare the site for a dengue vaccine efficacy trial. METHODS AND FINDINGS We performed a prospective cohort study of children in primary schools in central Thailand from 2006 through 2009. We assessed the epidemiology of dengue...
متن کاملSimplified plaque reduction neutralization assay for dengue viruses by semimicro methods in BHK-21 cells: comparison of the BHK suspension test with standard plaque reduction neutralization.
A newly modified semimicro plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT) in BHK cells was compared with a standard PRNT in bottles with LLC-MK2 monolayers and with an LLC-MK2 PRNT adapted to semimicro methods. The BHK semimicro PRNT compared favorably in terms of sensitivity in detecting dengue antibody (96%), specificity at a screening dilution (95%), and ability to detect seroconversion to deng...
متن کاملA plaque reduction test for dengue virus neutralizing antibodies.
The need for an efficient, practical, and accurate laboratory method for measuring dengue virus neutralizing antibody has been recognized by virologists concerned with arboviruses. Methods previously used include measurement of log neutralization indices by serial virus dilution tests with constant serum in suckling mice (1) or tissue culture tubes (2), or measurement of serum titers in sucklin...
