dengue/fatigue

Dengue is the most important human viral disease transmitted by an arthropod vector. The steadily increasing numbers of tourists visiting endemic areas coupled with the present resurgence of dengue, raises the risk of exposure for large numbers of travelers and imported dengue cases are increasingly

Objectives: Information on dengue in Africa is limited. To estimate the proportion of dengue-positive cases among febrile patients and describe clinical indicators of dengue, we conducted passive health facility-based fever surveillance

BACKGROUND Dengue virus infection is spread by the mosquito vector Aedes aegypti and causes significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. In Australia, it is an important cause of fever in the returned traveller and recent outbreaks have occurred in northern Queensland. A comprehensive

The management of dengue infection is variable and clinicians often adopt their own methods based on clinical experience. Hence, there is a lack of uniformity in the practice and management of dengue fever (DF) and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) in Sri Lanka. The objectives were to describe the

Patients with dengue virus infection have a different symptoms range from asymptomatic to sever form depending on primary and secondary immune status of host, infecting genotype and patient's age. The current study aimed to describe the clinical and laboratory profile of dengue fever outbreak and

BACKGROUND To analyze the liver dysfunction and evolution of signs and symptoms in adult dengue patients during a two-month follow-up period. METHODS A prospective cohort study was conducted in Campos dos Goytacazes, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from January to July, 2008. The evolution of laboratory and

This study analyzed the epidemiological and clinical features of dengue fever in Zhangshu, Jiangxi Province, in 2019 and provided evidence for the diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and control of dengue fever. A total of 718 dengue fever patients in Zhangshu in 2019 were involved. ELISA and qRT-PCR

Dengue fever is an acute viral disease transmitted by arthropods, which has become a major public health problem, especially in tropical and subtropical areas. We found 17 reported cases of dengue complicated with pancreatitis in the world literature, 13 cases were found in Asia, one in Europe, and

Tonate virus (TONV) is an arbovirus discovered in 1973 in French Guiana (FG) belonging to the Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus complex, Alphavirus genus. Only few publications and cases have been reported in FG. The objectives of the present study were to describe the clinical picture of TONV

Lebanon yearly witnesses a high flux of expatriates and workers from Dengue virus (DENV) endemic regions. Multiple cases of Dengue fever have been documented at the American University of Beirut Medical Center (AUBMC) in travellers to endemic regions. Given the presence of the Aedes aegypti mosquito

Zika fever is an acute infectious disease caused by the Zika virus (ZIKV), an RNA virus belonging to the genus Flavivirus. ZIKV can be transmitted by bites from Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus species, sexual activity, blood transfusion and from mother to fetus during pregnancy and delivery. A

OBJECTIVE Zika virus disease is an acute infectious disease caused by Zika virus transmitted through Aedes mosquitoes. To explore the therapeutic effect of integrated traditional Chinese and Western Medicine for Zika virus disease, the treatment process of the first imported case in China was

BACKGROUND The Chikungunya virus (CKIKV) is currently present in America. Travel between America and Europe is particularly intense and one of the main vectors of CHIKV, Aedes albopictus, is well established in the Mediterranean basin. We describe a series of imported cases that could originate a

Ampligen [polyI:polyC12U] is a mismatched double-stranded RNA that acts by inducing interferon production (immunomodulator) and by activating an intracellular enzyme (RNase-L) against viral RNA transcripts (antiviral). Ampligen, currently under development by Hemispherx Biopharma in the US, acts on

BACKGROUND The Chikungunya (CHIK) virus was recently reported by the CDC to have spread to the United States. We report an early documented case of CHIK from the state of Pennsylvania after a patient recently returned from Haiti in June of 2014. METHODS A 39-year-old man presented to the emergency
