Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnti-Platelet and Anti-Endothelial Cell Autoantibodies in Vietnamese Infants and Children with Dengue Hemorrhagic FeverNguyen Thanh Hung, Nguyen Trong Lan, Yee-Shin Lin et al.Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a serious public health problem. Increased vascular permeability and thrombocytopenia are the hallmarks of DHF. The mechanisms involved in DHF/Dengue shock syndrome (DSS) pathogenesis is not fully understood. This study gives evidence of the presence of antibodies which cross-reacted with platelets, and endothelial cells in the sera of Vietnamese infants and children with DHF/DSS. The … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,369 accessesView PDF Cite
