Correlation of IgM seropositivity in dengue NS1Ag positive samples of patient from rural population

Abstract

Introduction: Dengue, also known as "break bone fever," is a viral infection transmitted by Aedes aegypti followed by Aedes albopictus. It is more prevalent in tropical and subtropical climates. While many individuals infected with dengue may not experience any symptoms, those who do may commonly exhibit high fever, headache, body aches, nausea, and rash. In severe cases, dengue can be fatal, with some individuals developing dengue haemorrhagic fever characterized by bleeding, low blood platelet levels, and blood plasma leakage, or dengue shock syndrome, which involves dangerously low blood pressure.
