TL;DR: Higher peak titers were associated with increased disease severity for the 31 patients with a peak titer identified, and increased dengue disease severity correlated with high viremia titer, secondary d Dengue virus infection, and DEN-2 virus type.

TL;DR: It is proposed that measurement of dengue and Japanese encephalitis IgM and IgG antibodies upon admission and discharge from hospital care should replace the hemagglutination inhibition assay as the standard d Dengue serologic technique in regions where these 2 viruses co-circulate.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates that all four serotypes of d Dengue virus can cause dengue hemorrhagic fever, that all dengu patients as defined by serology experience viremia during the febrile phase, and that as fever subsides, so does vireia.

TL;DR: The findings illustrate the uniqueness of each serotype in producing epidemics and severe disease and underscore the importance of long-term surveillance of dengue serotypes in understanding the epidemiology of these viruses.
