Outline of Final Research Achievements

The outpatient and inpatient cases with fever within 5 days were enrolled at Tarlac Provincial Hospital, Philippines. Blood (whole blood and filter paper), urine, saliva were taken from the cases. Dengue virus were propagated from the serum and serotyping was determined by real-time RT-PCR.
Between May 2014 to March 2015, total of 369(outpatients) and 95(inpatients) cases were enrolled. Serum were collected from 371 cases and 87 cases were RT-PCR positive. Among the 230 cases which were tested both NS1 rapid test and RT-PCR, the sensitivity of NS1 rapid test against RT-PCR was 30% and specificity was 96%. There were no significant correlation between the symptoms (cough, headache, joint pain, vomiting, abdominal pain,rash, bleeding) and RT-PCR among the outpatients. Further analysis will be conducted.
