| dengue haemorrhagic fever in children in the 1996 delhi epidemic. | an epidemic of dengue haemorrhagic fever (dhf) occurred in delhi in 1996. a total of 240 children between the age of 4 months to 13 years of either sex, admitted in one hospital, were evaluated. two hundred and sixteen (90%) children were from delhi. a clinical diagnosis of dengue fever (df) was made in 25 (10%), dengue fever with unusual bleeding (dfb) in 22 (9%), dhf in 80 (33%) and dengue shock syndrome (dss) in 113 (47%) of the children strictly according to the who classification. the age p ... | 1999 | 10492762 |
| use of nucleotide sequencing of the genomic cdna fragments of the capsid/premembrane junction region for molecular epidemiology of dengue type 2 viruses. | the recent emergence of dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome (dhf/ dss) in india has been a source of concern. in the present study a quantitative comparison of 406 nucleotide long sequence from the capsid-premembrane junction region (c-prm) of 9 dengue virus type 2 (den-2) isolates from delhi with 10 den-2 isolates from diverse geographic areas provided sufficient information for estimating genetic relationships. the data indicated that the 1996 epidemic of dhf in delhi was caused by ... | 2001 | 11556585 |
