dc.description.abstractDengue fever (DF) and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) are major public health problems in India. During the period following an epidemic, a study was carried out using virological and serological tests for confirmation of suspected cases of dengue virus infection in fever cases presenting to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences. Serum samples of suspected DF/DHF cases were processed from January to December 1997. In 37 samples from patients with fever of less than 5-day duration, received on ice, virus isolation was attempted in C6/36 clone of Aedes albopictus cell line, followed by indirect fluorescent antibody staining with monoclonal antibodies to dengue viruses 1 to 4. One hundred and forty-three serum samples from patients with more than 5 days fever were tested for dengue specific IgM antibody by either MAC-ELISA or a rapid immunochromatographic assay. Dengue virus type 1 was demonstrated by culture in 8 (21.6%) of 37 serum samples and IgM antibody could be detected in 42 (29.4%) of the 143 serum samples by the serological methods. The peak of dengue virus infection was seen from September to November 1997.en_US
