Causes Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever and Dengue Shock Syndrome
No treatment but the disease can be early managed
o Female mosquito – humans
o Male mosquito – plants
o IV treatment – for rehydration

4 SEROTYPES / STRAINS

DENV1 – non-sever/asymptomatic
DENV2
DENV3
DENV4 - critical; leads to clotting of blood that causes death

First infection with one of the four serotypes usually is non-sever or


asymptomatic, while second infection with one of other serotypes may cause
sever dengue.

NS1 Antigen - test required for symptoms ranging from 1-5 days.
NS1 Antigen, IgM, IgG - test required for symptoms ranging from 1-5 days.
TLR (Toll Like Receptor) – response and signal the presence of virus
SYMPTOMS

Herman’s Rash – Islands of white in a sea of red


Maculopapular, erythematous rash with islands of normal skin sparing or scarlatiniform

LAB SAMPLE CHARACTERISTIC

Low platelets count


Red Urine – may indicate intravascular hemolysis

LAB TESTS

Dengue NS1
-Use to detect dengue virus antigen during early phase of acute dengue infection;
-Requested between 1-5 days of illness

Dengue IgM/IgG
-Used to detect dengue antibodies during acute late stage of dengue infection (IgM) and to determine previous infection (IgG)
-May give false positive result due to antibodies induced by dengue vaccine
-May cross react with other arboviral disease such as Chikungunya and Zika

Polymerase Chain Reaction


-One of the gold standard laboratory tests to confirm dengue virus
-Molecular based test confirmatory test
-Available only in dengue subnational and national reference laboratories

Nucleic Acid Amplification Test-Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification Assay (NAAT-LAMP)
