文摘

Dengue is increasing in India, but empirical data documenting burden are very limited. A multi-site study found that 59.6% of children aged 5–10 years had been infected at least once. Nearly half had antibody profiles suggestive of more than one previous dengue infection. Antibodies against multiple dengue serotypes were identified at all eight sites. These data provide strong evidence for hyper-endemic dengue transmission across India.
