[exanthematous diseases and the first epidemic of dengue to occur in manaus, amazonas state, brazil, during 1998-1999].	in 1998, the fmt/imt-am foundation implemented the surveillance system to diagnose acute undifferentiated febrile syndromes, with the objective of active and passive surveillance in brazilian western amazonian rainforest to identify and diagnose the etiologic agents of acute fever. the diagnoses were performed using serological tests to detect igm antibodies by elisa (enzyme-linked-immunosorbent assay) cdc/opas or using commercial kits. a total of 8,557 serum samples obtained from patients with ...	2004	15765597
infection with mayaro virus in a french traveller returning from the amazon region, brazil, january, 2010.	mayaro virus (mayv) disease is a mosquito-borne zoonosis endemic in humid forests of tropical south america. mayv is closely related to other alphaviruses that produce a dengue-like illness accompanied by long-lasting arthralgia. a french tourist developed high-grade fever and severe joint manifestations following a 15-day trip in the amazon basin, brazil, and was diagnosed with mayv infection in january 2010. this case is the first reported in a traveller returning from an endemic south america ...	2010	20460093
