Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
Background:Dengue infection is the most rapidly emerging serious health problem in Tamil Nadu. We report emergence of the dengue 2- strain in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. Background: This study aims to describe the molecular characterization of circulating DENV serotypes between Dec 2013-Jan 2014 by identifying dengue specific NS1, IgM and IgG antibodies by NS1 , IgM&IgG capture Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (ELISA) using PanBio kit( NS1 &IgG) andIgM antibody capture ELISA by using NIV kit. Results:A total of 304 fever cases with clinical signs and symptoms suggestive of dengue were tested in Chennai district. Serodiagnosis revealed that 29 (9.5%) were positive for IgM antibodies, 23 (7.6%) were dengue IgG antibodies positive and 3 (1 %) for IgM antibodies only. RT-PCRtest revealed circulation of dengue 2 serotypes. Conclusion:These results show the reemergence of dengue 2 sero type in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. There is no literature evidence for Dengue 2 virus circulation in Chennai since 2001. The study of various serotypes in the dengue endemic region may act as predictive marker to define the range of manifestation in future.
