چکیده
distant resemblances to yellow fever, to icterohsemorrhagic jaundice and to the relapsing fevers; to its proved Acdes (Stegomyia) transmission (Cleland, Bradley and McDonald, 1916; and Chandler and Rice, 1923) and possible Calex transmission (Graham, 1903; Craig, 1907); to the very considerable volume of experimental work upon the virus of dengue attended with negative results,?which might be compatible with the presence of a leptospira in the blood in very scanty numbers only; a view appears to be prevalent that the causative micro-organism of dengue is probably a spirochete. The positive findings in favour of such a view up to the present date are as follows :?

Dengue with Normal Platelet Count and no Hemoconcentration: Automated Hematogram in Cases with Underlying Thalassemia
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...
متن کاملThe Intestinal Zonulin and Zonula Occludens 1 Protein Expression and Lipopolysaccharide Levels In ddY Mice Injected with Dengue Virus Non-Structural Protein 1
Background and Objective: Dengue virus infection remains a health problem. Dengue Virus Non-Structural protein 1 (NS1) increases the release of proinflammatory cytokines that induce intestinal zonulin expression. As a result, the ZO-1 protein translocates to the cytoplasm, which increases enterocyte permeability. This study aimed to investigate the effects of dengue NS1 on intestinal zonulin an...
متن کاملDengue Fever Serology in Febrile Patients in Southeast Iran
Background: Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease that has rapidly spread in all regions in recent years. There is little information on dengue fever epidemiology in Iran. High prevalence of dengue fever in Pakistan bordering southeast Iran emphasizes the need for paying more attention to monitoring of the disease in this region. The aim of this study was to study the dengue...
متن کاملA Computational Study of Oxygen Transport in the Body of Living Organism
Oxygen is an essential part of the living organism. It is transported from blood to the body tissue by the systematic circulation and large part of it is stored in the blood flowing in capillaries. In this work we discuss a mathematical model for oxygen transport in tissues. The governing equations are established assuming that the blood is flowing along a co-axial cylindrical capillary inside ...
متن کاملClinicohematological Profiles of Hospitalized Patients with Dengue in Kolkata in 2012 Epidemic, West Bengal
Dengue usually presents itself with subclinical or mild infection to full blown dengue fever (DF) to dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS). In Kolkata, dengue started in 1824 followed by five epidemics that occurred in 1836, 1906, 1911, 1923 and 2005. The aim of this investigation is to study the clinicohematological correlation of all patients with respect to their gen...
