  2. clinical specimens (blood) isolated and identified dengue virus.
  3. clinical specimens positive for molecular detection of nucleic acids.
  4. serological antigen (referring to non-structural proteins of dengue virus non-structural protein 1, NS1) testing positive (based on the test of Bio-Rad DENGUE NS1 Ag STRIP).
  5. paired serum (restored period and acute phase), the dengue virus specific immunoglobulin M or immunoglobulin G antibodies or negative or ≧ 4 times increase.

About this study

Dengue virus serological reagent, included antigen and antiserum, is a serum test for identification of serum antibodies to dengue virus.

Read the detailed description

The developed assay helps to diagnose diseases caused by this virus and to provide information on disease epidemiology. This virus is mainly transmitted by mosquito bites to people and will make flu-like symptoms, including fever, fatigue, cough and headache, which can cause severe hemorrhagic dengue.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Dengue Fever, run by Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clinical specimens testing program of dengue antigen detection reagents (time frame: one year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Aug 2013.
