The gold standard diagnosis of DHF by RT-PCR needs a complex technology and is time consuming. Serological tests have beendeveloped to detect IgM and IgG anti dengue to determine primary as well as secondary acute phase infection. IgM and IgG antidenguetests by immunochromatography have been used, due to a high diagnostic validity, also because they are simple, practicable, easy, rapid(15–30 minutes), can be used in a single serum sample. ELISA method has been used as a confirmation method. The aim of this studyis to evaluate the immunochromatography method in detecting IgG and IgM anti dengue of DHF patients. The study was performedon 50 serum samples from patients of the ICU Department of Paediatrics Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya during July–August 2005with dengue virus infection according to the 1997, WHO criterion and 27 serum samples from non dengue virus infection patients.ELISA method showed positive infection in 44 samples. Immunochromatography method showed positive infection in 43 samples, butwas negative in 1 sample. Diagnostic sensitivity of Immunochromatography is 97.7% (43/44) and the diagnostic specificity is 92.6%(25/27). Immunochromatography method has a high diagnostic value in assisting the diagnosis of DHF.

Dengue fever is a noncontagious infectious disease caused by dengue virus (DENV). DENV belongs to the familyFlaviviridae, genusFlavivirus, and is classified into four antigenically distinct serotypes: DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4. The number of nations and people affected has increased steadily and today is considered the most widely spread arbovirus (arthropod-borne viral disease) in the world. The absence of an appropriate animal model for studying the disease has hindered the understanding of dengue pathogenesis. In our study, we have found that immunocompetent C57BL/6 mice infected intraperitoneally with DENV-1 presented some signs of dengue disease such as thrombocytopenia, spleen hemorrhage, liver damage, and increase in production of IFNγand TNFαcytokines. Moreover, the animals became viremic and the virus was detected in several organs by real-time RT-PCR. Thus, this animal model could be used to study mechanism of dengue virus infection, to test antiviral drugs, as well as to evaluate candidate vaccines.

ABSTRACT We determined the usefulness of an immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibody-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for serodiagnosis of dengue virus infections. The results indicate that the presence of IgA and IgM in serum samples assures recent primary dengue virus infection even with a single serum sample.

Introduction: Detection of dengue virus infection as soon as possible is critical for management of dengue virus infected patients. Immuno-chromatographic (ICT) tests are easy, cost effective method for dengue virus antigen detection.The sensitivity and specificity of ICT should compare with a gold standard test like RT-PCR. Aim of this study was to compare two test methods (ICT and RT-PCR), observe dengue serotype and seasonal impact on dengue infection.Methodology & result: The patients of Ibn Sina Medical College Hospital from October 2015 to October 2017 were tested for dengue NS1 antigen by ICT method. Out of 3201 sample tested 32.39% were found positive and 89 of which were re-tested for RT-PCR for comparison. Eighty eight of 89 NS1 positive cases showed positive by RT-PCR method giving an accuracy of 98.87%. Among the RT-PCR positive cases 45 were further analyzed for serotype. DEN-1, DEN-2 or both DEN- 1 and DEN-2 were found in 21, 23 and 1cases respectively. No cases of DEN-3 or DEN-4 were detected.Conclusion: This study showed that easily available and cost effective dengue NS1 antigen detection method (ICT) is as effective as molecular test (RT-PCR). DEN-1 and DEN-2 serotype were prevalent during last few years in Bangladesh. Continuous monitoring of dengue virus serotype is important for prevention and control of sudden epidemic by other serotype. Alert to be more during post monsoon when the peak of dengue virus infection was observed.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.17(4) 2018 p.669-673

Abstract Background: Because of the range and nonspecificity of clinical presentations of dengue virus infections, we felt there was a need to create diagnostic tests. We used artificial receptors for the virus to develop serologic assays to detect dengue virus infection. Methods: We coated a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) with molecularly imprinted polymers specific for nonstructural protein 1 of flavivirus. These artificial receptors were specifically created on a QCM chip by polymerization of monomers and were cross-linked in the presence of the epitope site of nonstructural protein 1. We tested serum samples from patients with confirmed cases of dengue reported to the Center for Disease Control in Taipei. Samples were diluted 100-fold; no other sample pretreatment was used. The QCM response was compared with results of monoclonal ELISA. Results: QCM signals were >15 Hz in 18 of 21 (86%) of dengue samples and in 0 of 16 control samples. The correlation (r2) of the QCM response and the ELISA result was 0.73. Within-run and run-to-run imprecisions (CV) were 4%–28% and 10%–32%, respectively. Conclusions: The described assay offers a serologic technique for diagnosis of early viremia. The results illustrate the potential of well-organized polymers on the highly sensitive sensor system for diagnostic and biotechnological applications.

ABSTRACT There is an urgent need for accurate and simple dengue virus infection diagnostic assays in limited-resource settings of dengue endemicity, to assist patient management. Using a panel of reference samples (S. D. Blacksell, P. N. Newton, D. Bell, J. Kelley, M. P. Mammen, D. W. Vaughn, V. Wuthiekanun, A. Sungkakum, A. Nisalak, and N. P. Day, Clin. Infect. Dis. 42:1127-1134, 2006), we recently evaluated eihgt commercially available immunochromatographic rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) designed to detect dengue virus-specific immunoglobulin M (IgM) and/or IgG. We found that 6/8 RDTs had sensitivities of less than 50% (range, 6 to 65%), but specificities were generally high. Here, in conjuction with dengue virus serotyping by reverse transcriptase PCR and in the limited-resource setting of Laos, where dengue virus is endemic, we evaluated the same eight RDTs against a previously validated dengue IgM/IgG enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for diagnosis of acute dengue virus infection. Paired serum samples were collected from 87 patients, of whom 38 had confirmed dengue virus infections (4 had primary infections, 33 had secondary infections, and 1 had an infection of indeterminate status). RDT sensitivity was low, with 7/8 RDTs having admission sample sensitivities of less than 20% (range, 4 to 26%). The majority (6/8) of the RDTs, demonstrated high specificity (>95%). Kappa statistic values ranged from 6 to 54% for the RDTs, demonstrating poor to moderate variation between three operators. No RDT adequately differentiated between primary and secondary dengue virus infections. The findings of this study suggest that currently available RDTs based on the detection of IgM antibodies for the diagnosis of acute dengue virus infections are unlikely to be useful for patient management.

Dengue Virus infection is an emerging mosquito-borne disease. It is a global health problem and its expanding endemicity towards new territories is a serious concern. Relatively a new disease in Nepalese context, dengue abruptly appeared as massive outbreak in 2010, merely four years after its first introduction. It is a nagging public health problem in the low lands of Terai, expanding to new areas of Nepal in recent years.  A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine anti-Dengue IgM positive rate in Lumbini, Dhading and Chitwan district. The study was carried from June 2012 to November 2012. The total number of Serum samples was collected from 275 patients visiting hospitals with history of fever, headache and suspected DF. The samples were examined by ELISA. The anti-Dengue IgM positivity was found to be 29.09 %. The positive rate was highest in Dhading (70.37%) followed by Bharatpur (37.6%) and Lumbini (11.38%). The Dengue positive cases were higher in males (32.5 %) than female (24.8 %). The highest positive cases (41.6%) were from age group less than 15 years. Dengue has substantial expansion in Western and Far Western Terai region of Nepal which was limited to the middle Terai region in the past and mostly infects older people.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijasbt.v1i4.9135  Int J Appl Sci Biotechnol, Vol. 1(4): 224-227

Dengue virus infection is a common tropical disease which often occurs without being detected. These asymptomatic cases provide information in relation to the manifestation of immunological aspects. In this study, we developed an ELISA method to compare neutralizing effects of dengue prM and E antibodies between dengue patients and their asymptomatic household members. Recombinant D2 premembrane (prM) was constructed, cloned, and tested for antigenicity. The recombinant protein was purified and tested with controls by using an indirect ELISA method. Positive dengue serum samples with their asymptomatic pair were then carried out onto the developed ELISA. In addition, commercially available recombinant envelope (E) protein was used to develop an ELISA which was tested with the same set of serum samples in the prM ELISA. Asymptomatic individuals showed preexisting heterotypic neutralizing antibodies. The recombinant prM was antigenically reactive in the developed ELISA. Dengue patients had higher prM and E antibodies compared to their household members. Our study highlights the neutralizing antibodies levels with respect to dengue prM and E between dengue patients and asymptomatic individuals.
