The prevalence of dengue IgG and IgM antibodies was investigated in 689 patients with suspected dengue. Of the 689 suspected cases, 373 (54.1%) were found to be positive for dengue antibodies, IgM being dominant. There was a significant relationship between incidence of dengue fever and season: all cases were reported during the rainy season, especially the post-monsoon season (89.5%), with none during the dry season. More male (79.3%) than female individuals were positive cases and the incidence was highest in the 21-49 year age group (63%). This is the first seroprevalence study reported from Multan, Pakistan.
对689例疑似登革热患者的登革热IgG和IgM抗体流行情况进行了调查。在689例疑似病例中，373例（54.1%）登革热抗体检测呈阳性，其中IgM占主导。登革热发病率与季节之间存在显著关系：所有病例均在雨季报告，尤其是季风后季节（89.5%），旱季无病例报告。男性阳性病例（79.3%）多于女性，发病率在21-49岁年龄组最高（63%）。这是巴基斯坦木尔坦报道的首例血清流行率研究。
