Abstract
Dengue Virus (DENV) diagnosis can be performed by isolation of DENV from blood or autopsy samples; demonstration of a four-fold or greater rise in reciprocal IgG or IgM antibody titres to one or more DENV in paired serum samples (acute and convascent); use of the newer rapid diagnostic test kit (also differentiates between primary and secondary dengue infections - these DENV rapid test devices are a solid phase immuno-chromatographic assay for the rapid, qualitative and differential detection of dengue IgG and IgM antibodies to dengue fever virus in human serum, plasma or whole blood); demonstration of DENV antigen in autopsy, serum or CSF samples by immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence or ELISA methods; demonstration of DENV specific nucleic acid sequences in autopsy, serum, CSF samples by PCR. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
