TLDR
The purpose of this study was to identify the early indicators of hemorrhage in severe dengue infections in 114 patients and found low-normal hematocrit at the time of shock and duration of shock were risk factors of severe hemorrhage.About:

Dengue fever: new paradigms for a changing epidemiology.
TL;DR: This paper reviews the changing epidemiology of the disease, focusing on host and societal factors and drawing on national and regional journals as well as international publications, and selected areas where the literature raises challenges to prevailing views and those that are key for improved service delivery in poor countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mosquito-borne Diseases
TL;DR: Efforts to limit the effect of mosquito-borne diseases in endemic areas face the twin challenges of controlling mosquito populations and delivering effective public health interventions.

Clinical and Laboratory Diagnosis of Dengue Virus Infection.
TL;DR: The development and commercialization of point-of-care combination tests capable of detecting markers of infection present during different stages of infection has greatly simplified laboratory-based dengue diagnosis and the laboratory diagnostic options currently available are summarized.

Evidence that maternal dengue antibodies are important in the development of dengue hemorrhagic fever in infants.
TL;DR: The hypothesis that maternal dengue antibodies play a dual role by first protecting and later increasing the risk of development of d Dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome in infants who become infected by denge 2 virus is consistent.

Observations related to pathogenesis of dengue hemorrhagic fever. IV. Relation of disease severity to antibody response and virus recovered.
TL;DR: Observations are included that suggest that severity of host response to dengue infection is influenced by an interaction between immune status and the age and sex of the patient, and associations between severity of illness and the rate of virus recovery, the quantity of antibody produced and the type of d Dengue virus recovered are described.

Prospective study of the duration and magnitude of viraemia in children hospitalised during the 1996-1997 dengue-2 outbreak in French Polynesia.
TL;DR: A significant difference was not observed in the magnitude and duration of viraemia in patients with primary versus secondary infections in patients during a dengue 2 outbreak in French Polynesia in 1996–1997.
