We measured 20 plasma markers i.e.IFN-γ, IL-10, granzyme-B, CX3CL1, IP-10, RANTES, CXCL8, CXCL6, VCAM, ICAM, VEGF, HGF, sCD25, IL-18, LBP, sCD14, sCD163, MIF, MCP-1 and MIP-1β in 141 dengue patients in over 230 specimens and correlate the levels of these plasma markers with the development of dengue without warning signs (DWS-), dengue with warning signs (DWS+) and severe dengue (SD).
FCGR2A and CCL2 gene variants are important in dengue pathogenesis and were investigated in 122 dengue patients (DENs) [89 dengue fever (DF) and 33 dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF)] and 107 healthy controls (HCs) to find out their association with severity of dengue.
In this study, extremely high expression levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) were found in the plasma of DHF patients compared with low MCP-1 expression levels in the plasma of enterovirus 71-infected patients.
