AI Article Synopsis
- Airport fever screening in Taiwan from July 2003 to June 2004 detected 40 confirmed cases of dengue.
- Advanced testing methods, including IgM and IgG enzyme-linked immunoassays, real-time polymerase chain reaction, and virus isolation, were used to confirm the cases.
- Of the confirmed patients, 33 (82.5%) were viremic, demonstrating that airport screening can effectively identify imported dengue cases.
Article Abstract
Airport fever screening in Taiwan, July 2003-June 2004, identified 40 confirmed dengue cases. Results obtained by capture immunoglobulin (Ig) M and IgG enzyme-linked immunoassay, real time 1-step polymerase chain reaction, and virus isolation showed that 33 (82.5%) of 40 patients were viremic. Airport fever screening can thus quickly identify imported dengue cases.
