About 500,000 dengue fever cases require hospitalization worldwide each year with large proportion of whom are children. Close to 2.5% of those affected with dengue fever will die from the disease.30There are four serotypes of dengue fever virus. Recovery from one serotype does not provide comp...
The incidence rate of dengue was 42.5 per 100 000 population. There was a similar gender distribution for indigenous cases though there were more males (1.24:1) among imported cases. The age distribution differed between imported and indigenous cases, with an older median age of 40.0 years (...
It is estimated that more than 50 million infections occur each year, including 500,000 hospitalizations for dengue haemorrhagic fever, mainly among children, with the case fatality rate exceeding 5% in some areas1–4. The annual average number of dengue fever/den- gue haemorrhagic fever (DF/...
However, we did not find a relation between the immune response and the evolution to death (Table 2). Except by the year 2008, when most deaths were due to secondary infections, during the most expressive epidemic years 2002, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, fatal cases were mainly due to ...
over 2.5 billion people worldwide are thought to be at risk of contracting this disease and it is estimated that between 50 and 100 million dengue infections occur every year. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), dengue is now a leading cause of hospitalization and death among chi...
One study estimates that approximately 390 million dengue infections occur per year (95% CI; 284-528 million), with 96 million of these presenting clinically.[49] An estimated 2.5-3 billion people (approximately 40%-50% of the world’s population) are estimated to be at risk for dengue ...
An estimated 390 million infections occur each year globally, and approximately 960,000 people with severe dengue require hospitalization [1]. Children contrib- ute to a large proportion of the severe disease cases. In 1958, DHF was reported to carry a case fatality rate (CFR) * Correspondence...
Hence, we set the recruitment rat of humans to \(\frac{212,559,409}{75.88 \times 365}\) per day, whereas the natural death rate for humans is set at \(\frac{1}{75.88 \times 365}\) per day. The dengue recovery rate is estimated at 0.15 per day [28, 29] so that we set \(...
