Abstract:
Introduction: Dengue fever is arboviral infection transmitted from infected personto non-infected one by mosquitoes Aedes Aegypti or Aedes albopectis. All four serotypes (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3 & DEN-4) can cause the clinical manifestations of disease. Dengue infectioncan cause acute febrile illness, dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome(DSS). About 50-100 million cases of dengue fever reported annually worldwide in which 0.5million may need admission. Overall mortality of dengue fever is 3%. The diagnosis of dengueis established by classical clinical features along with specific investigations like PCR, detectionof dengue NS1 antigen or IgM or IgG antibodies in the blood of infected person. Dengue isendemic in most part of our country and can become epidemics on and off. Objectives: Tostudy the pattern and mortality of Dengue fever during epidemic and post epidemic years inSwat. Setting: This study was conducted in Medical Department of Saidu Group of TeachingHospital, Swat. Period: Aug 2013 to November, 2016. Patients and method: Patients sufferingfrom acute febrile illness with features suggestive of Dengue fever were included in the study.Clinical criteria for initial diagnosis directed the subsequent diagnostic work up. Dengue wasconfirmed in these patients by either Dengue NS1 or Ig M antibodies in their blood. Writtenconsent for participation in study was taken from all the included patients. Formal permissionwas taken from Institutional Review Board of the institution to perform this study. The clinical andlaboratory data were recorded on a proforma and analyzed using SPSS 20. Results: Among5569 patients, 3834 (68.85 %) were male and 1735 (31.15%) were female. The mean age ofthe patients was 30 years SD 15.20. The most common age group that suffered with Denguefever was the adult age group (13-30 years). Dengue Hemorrhegic Fever was diagnosed in2543 (45.6%) patients and 50 (0.89 %) had features of DSS. A total 5018 (90.1 %) patients werecompletely cured while 37 (0.66 %) patients died. The overall mortality was 0.66%. Patientswith Dengue fever presented to the hospital though out the year but more than 50% of caseswere reported in the month of September. Conclusion: Adult age group and male gender ismost commonly affected by Dengue fever. Dengue fever was endemic in Swat valley and it canbecome cyclic epidemic in post epidemic years. Dengue fever can claim so many preciouslives if proper preventive measures were not taken in future.

Abstract:
Introduction: Dengue can indicate a diverse clinical spectrum. The intensity ofhepatic involvement in patients, with dengue infection varies from soft injury to severe injury bymeans of jaundice and liver cell failure. Even if liver is not a most important objective limb, liverinvolvement is a renowned aspect. Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess liverinvolvement in dengue patients upto 12 years of age. Study Design: The study was Prospectiveobservational. Place and Duration of Study: Study was conducted in children ward, PaediatricDepartment, Holy Family Hospital Rawalpindi from August 2014 to October 2015. Methods:Upto 12 years of age, all suspected dengue children patients were screened and solitaryserologically established cases by dengue IgM capture ELISA were incorporated in the studyafter taking written permission from the parents of the patients. Patients were categorizedaccording to GCP dengue guidelines into dengue fever (DF), dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF)and dengue shock syndrome (DSS). Results: Among 146 children, 78 were in the group of DF,35 were in the group of DHF and 33 were in the group of DSS. Most children (70 %) were above5 years. Fever was the leading illness followed by body aches, hepatomegly, rashes, edema,headache, petechiae, hepatic tenderness, pain in abdomen, vomiting, mucosal bleed andjaundice. Children with DSS have more liver involvement. Hepatomegaly and thickening of gallbladder was maximum in children with DSS and can be an indication of severe illness. Serumbilirubin, serum albumin, liver enzymes like ALT, AST and ALP were considerably elevated inchildren with DSS as compare to other two groups. 32 patients out of 33 with DSS had liverinvolvement. Conclusion: Dengue fever has become a main health issues at the moment inPakistan. Hepatic association in dengue in children has high fatality rate and spectrum variesfrom jaundice to rise of liver enzymes.

Abstract:
Dengue infection is one of the most common mosquito borne viral diseases of public health significance. It has been identifiedas a clinical entity since 1780. Dengue is caused by viruses that are small enveloped viruses and are members of the family Flaviviridae genusFlavivirus. It is a vector borne disease and is a global health threat. In Pakistan first epidemic was reported in 1994 and since then cases arereported every years. This year dengue infection raised the number of patients and increased the deaths. Objectives: To assess theknowledge, attitude and practices of the people regarding Dengue fever. Study Design: Cross Sectional Study. Setting: Aziz Bhatti Town,Lahore. Duration of Study: One Month. Material and methods: Convenient sampling. The investigator himself collected the information fromthe sample under study. First of all, an informed consent was obtained from the respondent under study and secrecy of the information wasensured. Data was entered and cleaned using Epi Data version 3. Data was analyzed using Epi info version 3.5.1. Results: Out of 41respondent families only 2.4% did not hear about dengue fever while 97.6% respondents were well aware of the dengue fever. 80.5% wereaware of high grade fever in dengue fever, 73.2% were aware of associated body aches. 92.7% were aware that dengue fever is preventable.95.1% were using mats, coils & repellents while 2.4% were using smoke of wet wood.36.6% were covering the water containers. 75.6% werekeeping environment dry and clean.68.3% were having opinion that they will consult GP in case of illness.85.4% told that TV/Radio were thesource of above mentioned knowledge while 9.8% doctor and 4.9% got information through newspapers. only 4.9% respondents were havingopinion that government had sprayed for dengue fever.7.3% families experienced the patient of dengue fever in their family. Conclusions: Inthis study the results are the almost same with little variations as found in other studies. The knowledge, attitude and practice are the almostsame in every studies with little variation. Majority of the families were well aware of dengue fever.

Abstract:
Background: Dengue fever (DF) is a mosquito-transmitted disease caused bythe dengue virus, an enveloped, single stranded RNA virus of flaviridae family. DF is widelydistributed in many countries of southeast and southern Asia, Central and South America, andthe Western Pacific regions. Dengue fever (DF) has emerged as an epidemic in Pakistan forthe past few years. Objectives: To identify the predictive factors for spontaneous bleedingmanifestations in Dengue fever. Study Design: Descriptive case series. Settings: Pathologydepartment of King Edward Medical University and affiliated hospitals (Mayo Hospital andLady Aitchison Hospital). Study Period: Four months of dengue epidemic July-October 2011.Material and Methods: This study included 125 patients with DF. Patients with spontaneousbleeding were identified. Coagulation profile (including platelet count, prothrombin time(PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) were recorded in each group (Withand without bleeding). Results: Spontaneous bleeding during dengue fever occurred in53(42.4%) patients. The mean coagulation profile in patients of dengue fever with and withoutspontaneous bleeding was as follows: platelets (91.28±26.64X109/L versus 112.10±17.12 X109/L, p<0.05), PT (15.72±2.42 versus 14.47±3.70 seconds, P>0.05), and APTT (41.0±24.00versus 36.65±4.65 seconds), p<0.05). Conclusions: Frequency of spontaneous bleeding inDF was high. A raised APTT and lower platelets counts was found in patients of dengue feverwith bleeding as compared to non bleeders while no difference in PT levels in both groups.

Objectives: To determine the frequency and characteristics of dengue patients.Study Design: Cross sectional observational study. Setting: Qazi Hussain Ahmed MedicalComplex Nowshera. Period: 5th July to 25th Sept 2017. Material and Methods: A total of72 cases were received for dengue serology. Relevant information’s were collected on a predesignedquestionnaire prepared in accordance with the objectives of the study. Results: Atotal of 117 patients were referred from fever clinic and emergency OPD for dengue serology.72(61.5%) were males and 45(38.5%) were females. 24(20.5%) cases were dengue positive.14(12%) were NSL1 positive, 8(8.8%) were IgM positive and 2 (1.7%) were IgM&IgG positive.We received patient in the range of 4 years to 60 years, Mean with SD was 27 +3 years. Out of14 NSL1 positive cases 8 were males and 6 females. 2 females were IgG positive. The spectrumof dengue in correlation with gender was significantly positive with p value .026. In two casesplatelet at first visit were 58000/cmm3 that were both IgM&IgG positive. Out of 24 positivedengue cases two cases were also positive for plasmodium vivax (ring tropozoites). 6 caseswere managed in hospital and discharged home with an average stay of 3 days and 4 casesreferred to Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar for repeated platelet transfusion. Mortality waszero in our cases. Conclusion: The suspicion rate of the clinician for dengue from fever clinicwas 1:7. The cause of poor rate can be contributed to the patient insist for doing the denguetest before they are screened for MP and FBC etc. NSL1 was positive in 6 cases that showsthat people reach the health care facility for screening well in time and patient are educatedabout the dengue. Females 50% positive cases were IGM and IGG positive that shows femalereceive the health care later than males as NSL1 positivity in female gender is less than males.The spectrum of dengue in correlation with gender was significantly positive with p value .025that shows mosquito has some affinity for specific gender, or dengue virus has it for differencein gender or the inside immunity of the both gender is involved that causes different mode ofpresentation and activation of antibodies.

Abstract:
Dengue fever frequencies have been on the ascent during the most recent couple of years. In 2012, there were a sum of 21,900 cases revealed, with 35 passing’s. This likened to around 76 occasions for each 100,000 people. Dengue fever is characterized with prominent signs such as stomach pain, mucosal bleeding, liver enlargement, hematocrit with diminishing platelets, plasma leakage, organ failure etc. Patients who recuperated rapidly were to have contracted dengue fever but with fewer symptoms. These patients reacted well to indicative treatment and liquid transfusions. In any case, extra disintegration of platelets was marked as extreme dengue, while recuperation was conceivable with legitimate and fast treatment

Abstract:
This thesis aims to investigate human antibody responses to dengue virus. Dengue virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that circulates as 4 distinct serotypes in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. It is known that immunity to one serotype of the virus can be life-long but upon infection with a different serotype there is a much higher incidence of severe disease. Antibodies play an important role in this immunopathogenesis. Serotype cross-reactive antibodies have been shown to enhance the uptake of virus by Fc receptor-bearing host cells, thereby increasing the number of cells infected and the viral load. The work presented will address this concept of antibody-dependent enhancement as part of a study of the antibody repertoire in patients with primary and secondary infections. The antibody response to dengue virus was investigated by producing monoclonal antibodies from patients. Antibody variable region sequences were cloned from B cells and expressed as whole human IgG; allowing the specificity, neutralisation and enhancement features to be identified. By generating a range of antibodies it was possible to investigate the breadth of the B cell response. The B cell response was highly diverse, with a range of clones stimulated. The antibody variable region sequences were analysed to identify features within the repertoire of antibodies stimulated. Additionally, this work describes production of an antigen display tool for characterisation of antibody target epitopes. Dengue virus envelope protein was expressed on the surface of yeast cells and a mutant library was created to map epitopes of monoclonal antibody binding. This work dissects the humoral immune response to dengue virus and contributes to the understanding of the immunopathology. This information could be used in creation of therapeutic antibodies or to assist in vaccine design and evaluation.

Abstract:
Throughout the early twentieth century, dengue fever was considered to be a nonthreatening illness, only infecting visitors of the tropics. However, in the last fifty years, there has been a resurgence of dengue fever; it is now considered to be the most consequential arbovirus, infecting more than 50 million people each year and leaving about half of the world's current population at risk of infection. The purpose of this thesis is to explore the various environmental factors that have contributed to the resurgence of dengue fever that has been seen in the last half century. Most notable of these factors are climate change and the increasing urbanization associated with population growth. Specifically, increasing temperatures and precipitation increases the available habitat for the dengue fever vector, the Aedes mosquito, while concurrently increasing both the longevity of the virus and the mosquito. Furthermore, changing sociodemographic factors associated with urbanization have helped spread the mosquito around the world, as the vector largely relies on human transportation. Finally, substandard housing often associated with insufficient water management systems creates the ideal breeding spots for the dengue vector. The Aedes mosquito is known to be one of the most versatile and one of the toughest mosquitoes in the world, which has allowed it to quickly adapt and succeed in these changing environments. Understanding these factors and their influence on the spread of dengue fever is vital in order to effectively manage current and future outbreaks. This is specifically important in regards to dengue fever and severe dengue as no vaccine or medications currently exists to treat this virus.

Abstract:
Dengue fever poses a constant serious risk and continues to be a major public health threat in Saudi Arabia, particularly in the city of Jeddah where, since 2006, despite formally introduced Control Strategies, there has been a significant increase in the number of cases. International literature suggests that a range of variables can influence the persistence of dengue, including climatic conditions, the quality of the urban environment, socioeconomic status and control strategies. The overall aims of this research are to understand neighbourhood influences on the pattern of dengue fever across Jeddah City and to make a preliminary determination of the enabling factors for, and barriers to, the effective implementation of the Control Strategies for dengue fever in Jeddah City. A mixed methods research design using quantitative and qualitative data was used. Quantitative data were obtained from administrative sources for dengue fever cases and some of the spatial and temporal variables associated with them, but new variables were created for neighbourhood status and the presence of surface water. Qualitative data are drawn from key informant interviews with 15 people who were, or who had been, working on dengue fever Control Strategies. A qualitative descriptive analysis was based on pre- determined and emergent themes. The spatial and temporal analysis of the variables related to dengue fever in Jeddah City neighbourhoods revealed that neighbourhood status has a direct relationship with dengue fever cases, which is mediated through population density and the presence of non- Saudi immigrants. While there was no relationship with the presence of swamps, seasonal variations in the incidence of dengue were most pronounced in neighbourhoods of low socioeconomic status. The qualitative review of dengue Control Strategies indicated five themes: (1) workforce characteristics and capability, (2) knowledge about dengue fever in Saudi Arabia and Jeddah City, (3) operational strategies for dengue fever control in Jeddah City, (4) the progress of implementation, and (5) overall view of the Government strategies in Jeddah City. This analysis found that the Strategies were well regarded but that aspects of implementation were not always effective. Nevertheless, both quantitative and qualitative results showed the persistence dengue fever problems in Jeddah City neighbourhoods and suggested how cases might be controlled. The number of dengue fever cases in Jeddah City neighbourhoods could continue to rise if the direct and indirect variables affecting dengue fever at the neighbourhood level are not well controlled. Careful attention to the further monitoring of patterns of dengue and specific neighbourhood Control Strategies are recommended, and established Control Strategies need to be implemented as designed. Nonetheless, there is still a need to develop new approaches that can examine and address neighbourhood level issues of dengue fever control.

Abstract:
In recent years, dengue viral infection has become one of the most widely-spread mosquito-borne diseases in the world, with an estimated 50-100 million cases annually, resulting in 500,000 hospitalizations. Due to the nature of the immune response to each of the four serotypes of dengue virus, secondary infections of dengue put patients at higher risk for more severe infection as opposed to primary infections. The current hypothesis for this phenomenon is antibody-dependent enhancement, where strain-specific antibodies from the primary infection enhance infection by a heterologous serotype. To determine the mechanisms responsible for the increase in disease severity, we develop mathematical models of within-host virus-cell interaction, epidemiological models of virus transmission, and a combination of the within-host and between-host models. The main results of this thesis focus on the within-host model. We model the effects of antibody responses against primary and secondary virus strains. We find that secondary infections lead to a reduction of virus removal. This is slightly different than the current antibody-dependent enhancement hypothesis, which suggests that the rate of virus infectivity is higher during secondary infections due to antibody failure to neutralize the virus. We use the results from the within-host model in an epidemiological multi-scale model. We start by constructing a two-strain SIR model and vary the parameters to account for the effect of antibody-dependent enhancement.

Abstract:
Over half of the world's population are at risk of infection from dengue fever (Guha-Sapir 2005). This viral disease is transmitted by the female Aedes aegypti mosquito and is the major source of human death in the world when compared with any other vector borne disease (Gubler1998a). The first important epidemic of dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) in America was reported in Cuba in 1981 and subsequently in Venezuela during 1989 and 1990 (Oletta2006, Brightmer1998). There has been a trend of increased incidence in many Central and South American countries since 1990 - Brazil, Venezuela, Honduras and Mexico (SanMartin2010) with Venezuela having the highest number of cases of DHF. The urgent need for more effective public health measures to combat this disease in Venezuela drove the decision to undertake the work described in this dissertation. Spatio-Temporal modelling has been developed for the prediction of the occurrence of dengue fever in Zulia state, Venezuela. A systematic approach has been adopted to validate this tool. At the first stage of the analysis an exploratory study was performed to underline the most significant features of the dynamics of incidence rates of dengue fever from 2002 to 2008. In the second stage a Generalized Linear Model (GLM) approach was used in the form of Negative Binomial Generalized Linear Mixed model (GLMM) to compare Relative Risk (RR) across exposure groups by age and sex, using an epidemiological dataset covering the whole of Zulia State, Venezuela. This approach used both a frequentist and a Bayesian perspective for comparative purposes of both outcomes and methodologies. Finally a Spatio-Temporal model was constructed based on Generalized Additive Mixed model (GAMM) framework because the earlier analysis identified a complex association between covariates and response variables. This GAMM structure was further developed so that it could be used to help predict future outbreaks of the disease in Zulia state with a good degree of accuracy.

Objective: This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of leptospirosis among febrile patients with a suspicious clinical diagnosis of dengue fever in northern Peru. Results: A total of 276 serum samples from patients with acute febrile illness (AFI) and suspected diagnosis for dengue virus (DENV) were analyzed. We identified an etiological agent in 121 (47.5%) patients, DENV was detected in 30.4% of the cases, leptospirosis in 11.2% and co-infection by both pathogens was observed in 5.9% of the patients. In this study the most common clinical symptoms reported by the patients were: headache 89.1%, myalgias 86.9% and arthralgias 82.9%. No differences in symptomatology was observed among the different study groups.

Abstract:
Climate-sensitive health problems kill millions every year and undermine the physical and psychological well-being of millions more. To identify the climate impacts on dengue risk in Brazil, a comparative case study is used based on the synthetic controls approach. The South and Northeast regions of Brazil are compared to the rest of the country in order to identify those impacts. The results suggest that dengue is more prevalent in warmer regions, but the humidity conditions and amount of rainfall seem fundamental for increase of the diseases prevalence in temperate climate regions or drier tropical regions of the country. On the other hand, the increase in rainfall in the rainiest tropical areas could diminish the diseases prevalence, as standing water accumulations might be washed away. Therefore, due to expected climate changes in the future, the dengue fever distribution in the country might change, with the disease migrating from the north to the south. Public policy's role in minimizing these effects in the country should be focused on anticipating the proper climate conditions for dengue incidence by using integrated actions among local authorities.
