BACKGROUND
Diarrheal diseases and dengue fever are major global health problems. Where provision of clean water is inadequate, water storage is crucial. Fecal contamination of stored water is a common source of diarrheal illness, but stored water also provides breeding sites for dengue vector
Isospora belli diarrhea is usually associated with immunosuppression. This parasite has rarely been reported as a cause of travelers' diarrhea in immunocompetent patients. We present a clinical case of travelers' diarrhea due to I belli in a patient with transient lymphopenia secondary to dengue
This study evaluated the sustainability of a set of interventions to prevent dengue and diarrhea in 33 rural schools in the municipalities (counties) of Anapoima and La Mesa, Colombia, two years post-project. The study measured sustainability in two categories: maintenance of the benefits and the
The antiviral activity of iminocyclitol compounds with a deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) head group and either a straight chain alkyl or alkylcycloalkyl group attached to the nitrogen atom have been tested in vitro against multiple-enveloped viruses. Several of these analogues were superior to previously
Novel N-alkyldeoxynojirimycins (NADNJs) with two hydrophobic groups attached to a nitrogen linker on the alkyl chain were designed. A novel NADNJ containing a terminal tertiary carboxamide moiety was discovered that was a potent inhibitor against BVDV. Further optimization resulted in a structurally
We report on a tourist returning from Thailand, who presented with classical dengue fever. While in Thailand a 36-year-old Swiss female laboratory assistant suddenly developed fever, devastating headache, retro-ocular pain, myalgia and arthralgia, photophobia, nausea and diarrhea. In addition she
Dengue fever is the world's most important viral hemorrhagic fever disease, the most geographically wide-spread of the arthropod-born viruses, and it causes a wide clinical spectrum of disease. We report a case of dengue hemorrhagic fever complicated by acute hepatitis. The initial picture of
OBJECTIVE
Dengue fever (DF) is transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. With growing population, rapid urbanization and lack of appropriate sanitary measures, proliferation of mosquitoes and subsequent dengue infections have increased rampantly with an estimated 30-fold increase in incidence over
BACKGROUND
Chikungunya (CHIKV) and dengue viruses (DENV) are two arboviruses with epidemic potential and similar clinical presentations. The potential life-threatening risk associated with DENV justifies an immediate biological assessment and medical follow-up which may be delayed for
A ribonucleic acid (RNA) hybridization assay to identify cattle infected by bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is described. The RNA probe was derived from the coding region at the 3' end of the genome of the NADL strain of BVDV. Total RNA from infected cell cultures or peripheral blood leukocytes
Dengue is characterized by fever, headache, arthralgia and myalgia. The presence of gastrointestinal signs and symptoms (GISS) is considered a sign of alarm in dengue; however, little information exists regarding the occurrence of these events. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of
Chikungunya, a mosquito-borne viral, acute febrile illness (AFI) is associated with polyarthralgia and polyarthritis. Differentiation from other AFI is difficult due to the non-specific presentation and limited availability of diagnostics. This 3-year study identified independent clinical predictors
The report describes a 32-year-old man with dengue hemorrhagic fever presenting with acute onset high-grade intermittent fever with chills and rigors, headache, myalgia, abdominal pain, and vomiting. His laboratory results revealed neutrophilia, thrombocytopenia, microscopic hematuria, and a
The authors report the isolation of dengue 3 virus for the first time in Brazil. The patient, resident in Limeira-SP, traveled to Nicaragua on May 16th, 1998, where he stayed for two months. Starting on August 14 th he had fever, headache, myalgia, arthralgia, retro-orbital pain and diarrhea. He
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and dengue virus (DENV) are circulating individually in the state of West Bengal, India. However, after 1965 the dual-infection caused by both viruses had not been recorded until 2010. In 2010, an investigation of the febrile cases was carried out to confirm the involvement
