Objectives: Hemorrhage is considered to be the primary sign of Dengue hemorrhagic fever and Dengue shock syndrome. In the present study we focused on the mechanism in the pro- and anti-coagulation after Dengue virus infection.

Methods: The effects of Dengue virus on the expression and secretion of tissue factor, tissue factor inhibitor, thrombomodulin, tissue plasminogen activator and plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells were detected in this study.

Results: It was shown that Dengue virus could promote the expression of thrombomodulin in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells, thus increasing anticoagulation, and enhancing tissue plasminogen activator activity and therefore increased hemorrhage risk.

Conclusions: The changes above may play an important role in the development of Dengue hemorrhagic fever and Dengue shock syndrome.

Dengue virus (DENV) poses a considerable threat to public health on a global scale, since about two-thirds of the world's population is currently at risk of contracting this arbovirus. Being transmitted by mosquitoes, this virus is associated with a range of illnesses and a small percentage of infected individuals might suffer from severe vascular leakage. This leakage leads to hypovolemic shock syndrome, generally known as dengue shock syndrome, organ failure, and bleeding complications.

Arboviruses currently are regarded as a major worldwide public health concern. The clinical outcomes associated with this group of viruses may vary from asymptomatic infections to severe forms of haemorrhagic fever characterised by bleeding disorders. Similar to other systemic viral infections, arboviruses can either directly or indirectly affect different parts of the body, such as the urogenital system.

Dengue is the most common arboviral disease. It is typically spread by the bite of an infected female or mosquitoes. Dengue is endemic in subtropical and tropical regions, but its geographic reach keeps expanding.

The Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) presents substantial public health challenges in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR), with its prevalence and interaction with other arboviruses (ABVs) remaining poorly understood. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the prevalence of CHIKV and its association with other ABVs, such as dengue virus (DENV), Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV), malaria, and yellow fever virus (YFV), in the EMR. We systematically searched databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and ScienceDirect to identify epidemiological studies that report CHIKV prevalence and provide odds ratios (ORs) for CHIKV compared to other ABVs.

Background: The burden of Aedes aegypti-transmitted viruses such as dengue, chikungunya, and Zika are increasing globally, fueled by urbanization and climate change, with some of the highest current rates of transmission in Asia. Local factors in the built environment have the potential to exacerbate or mitigate transmission.

Methods: In 24 informal urban settlements in Makassar, Indonesia and Suva, Fiji, we tested children under 5 years old for evidence of prior infection with dengue, chikungunya, and Zika viruses by IgG serology.
