Dengue is an arbovirus that continues to cause serious public health problems in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the planet.
In this study, blood samples from children were investigated by RT-PCR, aimed at identifying dengue virus serotypes in Manaus, AM, in 2008 in this infant population.
DENV-3 was the only serotype identified.
In this study, 83% of children examined were negative for dengue by RT-PCR, suggesting the occurrence of other febrile illnesses that need to be determined.
登革热是一种虫媒病毒，在全球热带和亚热带地区持续引发严重的公共卫生问题。
在本研究中，对儿童血液样本进行逆转录聚合酶链反应（RT-PCR）检测，旨在确定2008年在巴西亚马孙州玛瑙斯市的这一婴儿群体中的登革热病毒血清型。
仅鉴定出DENV-3血清型。
在本研究中，83%接受检测的儿童经RT-PCR检测登革热呈阴性，这表明存在其他需要确定的发热性疾病。
