Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleProcalcitonin and Clinical Factors Associated with Severe Dengue Infection in Hospitalized Adults in MalaysiaHuzairi Sani, Nada Syazana, Zahir Izuan et al.Dengue Fever (DF) is the commonest mosquito-borne viral infection that results in hospitalisation amongst patients in Malaysia. The cornerstone of managing dengue virus infection is the prediction hence prevention of severe DF from developing. Warning signs proposed by WHO as clinical predictors of severe DF are insensitive. Procalcitonin (PCT) has been shown to increase in bacterial infections and is useful … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 3 Dec 2019 · 7,360 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEpitope Mapping of Dengue-Virus-Enhancing Monoclonal-Antibody Using Phage Display Peptide LibraryChung-I Rai, Huan-Yao Lei, Yee-Shin Lin et al.The Antibody-Dependent Enhancement (ADE) hypothesis has been proposed to explain why more severe manifestations of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DHF/DSS) occur predominantly during secondary infections of Dengue Virus (DV) with different serotypes. However, the epitopes recognized by these enhancing antibodies are unclear. Recently, antipre-M monoclonal antibody (mAb 70-21), which recognized all DV serotypes without neutralizing activity, were … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,453 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnti-Prm Antibody as an Autoantibody in Dengue Virus InfectionKao-Jean Huang, Yu-Tien Cheng, Yee-Shin Lin et al.We have reported that anti-prM antibody is an enhancing antibody that enhances DV infection of non-Fc receptor bearing cells by dual specificity. We identified the epitope recognized by this anti-prM antibody, M3, which is located at the a.a.53-67of the prM protein nearby the prM/M cleavage junction and these anti-M3 antibodies could be detected in dengue patients sera. Surprisingly, this anti-prM … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,304 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDengue Virus Infection Induced NF-κB-dependent Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor ProductionLien-Cheng Chen, Huey-Wen Shyu, Huan-Yao Lei et al.Dengue virus (DV) infection can cause mild dengue fever or severe dengue hemorrhage fever and dengue shock syndrome. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a cytokine that plays an important role in the modulation of inflammatory and immune responses and serum levels of MIF are correlated with disease severity in dengue patients. However, the mechanism that induces MIF production during … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,290 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorrelation of IFN-Inducible Protein 10 Levels in Sera with Disease Severity and Clinical Outcome of the Dengue PatientsYing-Ray Lee, Nguyen-Thanh Hung, Ching-Chuan Liu et al.Dengue Virus (DV) infection may cause life-threatening Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS). Although many cytokines involved in the pathogenesis of DHF/DSS have been reported, the expression status of IFN-inducible protein-10 (IP-10) in dengue patients is still unknown. This is the first report to unravel that IP-10 level was significantly elevated in the sera of Dengue Fever … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,051 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunopathogenesis of Dengue Hemorrhagic FeverHuan-Yao Lei, Kao-Jean Huang, Yee-Shin Lin et al.Dengue virus infection causes Dengue Fever (DF), Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS) whose pathogeneses were not clearly understood. A new hypothesis of immunopathogenesis is proposed for the development of the DHF/DSS. An aberrant immune over-activation after dengue virus infection not only impair the immune response to clear the virus, but also result in overproduction of cytokines … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 14,762 accessesView PDFCite
