Clinical & virological study of dengue fever outbreak in Jalore city, Rajasthan 1985. Indian Journal of Medical Research. 1990 Nov; 91(): 414-8http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/22919An epidemic of acute febrile illness caused by dengue virus occurred in Jalore town, in south-west Rajasthan, in April and May, 1985. Most patients had classical signs and symptoms of dengue fever or had only a mild atypical febrile illness. A few patients had in addition haemorrhagic manifestations/shock or encephalitis. Virological studies (carried out by the National Institute of Virology, Pune) showed that dengue type 3 virus was the main etiological agent. This is the first reported outbreak of dengue in the arid zone in western Rajasthan, that occurred in summer (April-May) in contrast to other parts of India, where such outbreaks are commonly reported after the rains (between August and November).engAdolescentAdultAgedChildChild, PreschoolDengue --epidemiologyDengue Virus --classificationDisease OutbreaksFemaleHumansIndia --epidemiologyMaleMiddle AgedSeasonsJournal Article
