Clinical and laboratory profile of Expanded Dengue Syndrome: experience of 2019 outbreak from Dhaka, Bangladesh
CONCLUSION: In the year 2019, an unusual rise in EDS cases with about 15.4% fatalities were observed in this study. Hepatitis was the most common presentation and cause of death. Here, we report the first ARDS case encountered in Bangladesh. Despite the multifaceted presentation of EDS, indiscriminate use of antibiotics and steroid was minimal. Early recognition of multifarious features of EDS is important for choosing the targeted treatment option which can avert many deaths. The results of this study underline the necessity for more in-depth research into the risk factors that are contributing to mortality in EDS cases.P...

Assessment of larval and pupal indices of dengue mosquito vectors in a North-Eastern state of Tripura, India
CONCLUSION: The present study identified Ae. albopictus as a potential vector of dengue in Tripura. The study gave important insights on the preferred larval habitats and provides information on the indication of displacement of Ae. albopictus from rural to urban and semi-urban areas. However, longitudinal studies for longer time frame are necessary for any conclusive remarks.PMID:38648411 | DOI:10.4103/0972-9062.392268 (Source: Journal of Vector Borne Diseases)

Dengue encephalitis: A rare manifestation of dengue fever
J Vector Borne Dis. 2024 Apr 18. doi: 10.4103/JVBD.JVBD_189_23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDengue fever, caused by the dengue virus transmitted by mosquitoes, usually manifests as flu-like symptoms and is a prevalent tropical illness. However, there are rare cases where the infection takes an unusual course, resulting in severe complications like dengue encephalitis. This case report delineates an occurrence of dengue encephalitis in a patient from Sri Lanka. This work provides insights into the clinical presentation, diagnostic difficulties, and treatment approaches linked to this uncommon manifestation of dengue fever...

Dengue dynamics: Prognostic and disease monitoring through molecular and serological profiling of clinical isolates
CONCLUSION: Our laboratory effectively standardized an RT-PCR-based approach for molecular identification of dengue virus in clinical specimens. This adaptive technique which used numerous primer sets displayed good specificity and sensitivity in serotype detection. The technology provides for quick and reliable identification of dengue virus infections, allowing for targeted treatment and preventative actions for successful disease management in highly populated regions.PMID:38634367 | DOI:10.4103/JVBD.JVBD_202_23 (Source: Journal of Vector Borne Diseases)

Viruses, Vol. 16, Pages 630: Identification of Bacteria and Viruses Associated with Patients with Acute Febrile Illness in Khon Kaen Province, Thailand
Piyada Linsuwanon
The majority of cases of undifferentiated acute febrile illness (AFI) in the tropics have an undefined etiology. In Thailand, AFI accounts for two-thirds of illnesses reported to the Ministry of Public Health. To characterize the bacterial and viral causes of these AFIs, we conducted molecular pathogen screening and serological analyses in patients who sought treatment in Chum Phae Hospital, Khon Kaen province, during the period from 2015 to 2016. Through integrated approaches, we successfully identified the etiology in 25.5% of cases, with dengue virus infection being the most common cause, noted i...

Zika virus (ZIKV), an arbovirus from theFlaviviridae family, is the causative agent of Zika fever, a mild and frequent oligosymptomatic disease in humans. Nonetheless, on rare occasions, ZIKV infection can be associated with Guillain-Barr é Syndrome (GBS), and severe congenital complications, such as microcephaly. The oligosymptomatic disease, however, presents symptom...
