Factors predicting severe dengue in patients with dengue Fever.

Mediterranean journal of hematology and infectious diseases, 2013
Dengue virus (DENV) affects over half the world's population in 112 countries, and dengue fever (DF) is the second largest arthropod borne infectious global hazard after malaria with complications like Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS), accounting for significant morbidity and mortality world-over. Pakistan is significantly

Serum Cortisol as a Biomarker of Severe Dengue

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2023
Dengue infection presents a wide range of clinical symptoms. Serum cortisol is known as a severity predictor of serious infection but is not yet clearly understood in dengue infection. We aimed to investigate the pattern of cortisol response after dengue infection and evaluate the possibility of using serum cortisol as the biomarker to predict the ...

Machine Learning‐Assisted Infectious Disease Detection in Low‐Income Areas: Toward Rapid Triage of Dengue and Zika Virus Using Open‐Source Hardware

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This study introduces an affordable machine learning platform for simultaneous dengue and zika detection using fluorine‐doped tin oxide thin films modified with gold nanoparticles and DNA aptamers. Designed for low‐cost, hardware‐limited devices (< $25), the model achieves 95.3% accuracy and uses only 9.4 kB of RAM, demonstrating viability for resource‐

Immunogenicity of NS4b dengue 3 virus mimotope presented to the immune system as multiple antigen peptide system [PDF]

, 2013
The availability of random peptide libraries displayed on bacteriophage (RPL) has provided a powerful tool for selecting sequences that mimic binding properties of natural antigen epitopes (mimotopes). These mimotopes can be used for vaccine design, drug

Optimizing the dengue virus infection mouse model: Comparing different backgrounds and infection route for enhanced stability

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Optimized dengue fever animal model: IFNAR−/− BALB/c mice with intraperitoneal injection. Background screening: Between IFNAR−/− (BALB/c, C57BL/6) and AG129 mice, IFNAR−/−BALB/c exhibited the most severe symptoms: (1) highest weight loss and clinical scores; (2) peak viremia (5.44 log10 RNA copies/mL, day 4); (3) significant organ damage (liver/brain ...
