Viruses associated with epidemic hemorrhagic fevers of the Philippines and Thailand
Autor(es): Hammon W M, Rudnick A, Sather G E
Resumo: Epidemiologic, clinical, - etiologic studies were carried out on a newly recognized, frequently fatal, pediatric disease syndrome which occurred in urban areas infested with Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Four types of dengue virus (two of which are new), chikungunya virus, - another virus yet to be identified were isolated from the blood of patients. Dengue viruses, types 2 - 3, were isolated from the mosquitoes. Ample serologic confirmation was obtained of concurrent hemorrhagic fever - infection with one or more of these viruses. Thus, it was discovered that viruses of previously recognized types - of closely related new types apparently have etiologic roles in a new - highly dangerous epidemic disease syndrome.
