Dengue fever presents in a nonspecific manner and may not be distinguishable from other viral or bacterial illness. According to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), the clinical description of dengue fever is an acute febrile illness of 2-7 days duration associated with 2 or more of th...
Is dengue a single-stranded RNA virus? Is there Chagas disease in the Philippines? Is malaria a bacterial or viral infection? What are the symptoms of dengue fever? Is chikungunya a communicable disease? Does Chagas disease go away? Is encephalitis an infectious disease?

The differential diagnosis of dengue is broad. During the febrile phase, it includes other viral infections (eg, measles, rubella, enterovirus, adenovirus, influenza, and other arboviruses), and bacterial (leptospirosis and typhoid fever) and parasitic (malaria) illnesses that might be present in de...
A wide variety of conditions, primarily viral infections, but also bacterial and parasitic diseases must be considered in the differential diagnosis, depending on local disease epidemiology, travel history, and the clinical picture. The choice of laboratory test depends on the day after onset of illn...
Dengue is one of the most rapidly spread vector borne diseases and a major viral disease worldwide [1]. Dengue infection is caused by the transmission to humans of one of the four dengue virus serotypes (DENV1, DENV2, DENV3 and DENV4) through the bite ofAedesmosquitoes [2]. Over the...
In tropical and sub-tropical areas of the world where arboviruses (viral or bacterial infections) and COVID-19 may coexist due to the geographical overlap of the two diseases, clinical diagnosis is difficult, and patients should be tested for both viruses. Verduyn et al. [1] reported the ...
Studies that examined the role of Tregs in dengue infection reported an increase in FoxP3+ cells compared with those in healthy individuals; however, such enhancement was not associated with disease severity or the viral response [83,84,85]. TGF-β is important for generating Tregs in the peri...
The detec- tion of the viral genome or viral antigens also provides evidence of infection. Seroconversion of IgM or IgG antibodies is the stand- ard for serologically confirming a dengue infection. The presence of IgM or high levels of IgG in acute serum col- lected from a suspected dengue...
