“…Reports of ZIKV/DENV and CHIKV/DENV co-infections are similarly scarce. Recent studies described a co-infection DENV-2 and ZIKV, isolated from a patient with travel to Haiti who developed fever, rash, arthralgia, and conjunctivitis [83] and a pregnant woman from Colombia with a triple co-infection caused by DENV, CHIKV AND ZIKV [84]. …”

Dengue in Latin America: Systematic Review of Molecular Epidemiological Trends

et al. 2017

Dengue, the predominant arthropod-borne viral disease affecting humans, is caused by one of four distinct serotypes (DENV-1, -2, -3 or -4). A literature analysis and review was undertaken to describe the molecular epidemiological trends in dengue disease and the knowledge generated in specific molecular topics in Latin America, including the Caribbean islands, from 2000 to 2013 in the context of regional trends in order to identify gaps in molecular epidemiological knowledge and future research needs. Searches of literature published between 1 January 2000 and 30 November 2013 were conducted using specific search strategies for each electronic database that was reviewed. A total of 396 relevant citations were identified, 57 of which fulfilled the inclusion criteria. All four dengue virus serotypes were present and co-circulated in many countries over the review period (with the predominance of individual serotypes varying by country and year). The number of countries in which more than one serotype circulated steadily increased during the period under review. Molecular epidemiology data were found for Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, the Caribbean region, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico and Central America, Paraguay, Peru and Venezuela. Distinct lineages with different dynamics were found in each country, with co-existence, extinction and replacement of lineages occurring over the review period. Despite some gaps in the literature limiting the possibility for comparison, our review has described the molecular epidemiological trends of dengue infection. However, several gaps in molecular epidemiological information across Latin America and the Caribbean were identified that provide avenues for future research; in particular, sequence determination of the dengue virus genome is important for more precise phylogenetic classification and correlation with clinical outcome and disease severity.

“…Due to similar clinical symptoms and geographical distribution as well as possible co-infections with dengue and chikungunya, DENV and CHIKV should be considered in the differential diagnosis in febrile travelers [7,26,27]. In a recently published Nicaraguan study, only the presence of rash and fever differed between patients with ZIKV, DENV and CHIKV infection.…”

In the last few years, several imported cases of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection were reported in European countries. We report the first imported ZIKV infection case in a Croatian traveler returning from Brazil. The patient presented with a low-grade fever, pruritic rash, general weakness, myalgia, arthralgia and edema of the legs and recovered completely within a week. ZIKV infection was confirmed by detection of IgM/IgG antibodies using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and confirmed by plaque-reduction neutralization test (PRNT). ZIKV IgM antibodies cross-reacted with dengue virus (DENV), West Nile virus (WNV) and tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) in ELISA. In indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA), IgM cross-reactivity was found only with DENV-3. ZIKV IgG antibodies cross-reacted with DENV in both ELISA and IFA. PRNT for DENV was negative. Control serology performed on days 64 and 98 after disease onset showed a decline in crossreactive heterologous DENV IgG antibodies compared to persistently high titer of homologous ZIKV IgG antibodies.

“…Zika, Chikunguña y Dengue son tres arbovirus transmitidos por mosquitos del género Aedes (A. Aegypti y A. Albopictus) que pueden infectar simultáneamente a un paciente (1). Aunque tienen particularidades en su presentación (2), la infección por estos virus causa manifestaciones clínicas similares, tales como fiebre, rash, artralgias, cefalea y dolor retroocular.…”

Objective: To describe the epidemiological trends during 2015 -2016 of three of the most important arthropod-borne virus infections occurred in the country in recent years: Zika, Dengue and Chikunguña. Materials and Methods: A descriptive study, in which the behavior of these diseases is analyzed from bulletins of the National Institute of Health, during the fifty-two epidemiological weeks of 2016. Results: In 2016, 103.822 cases were reported in the country Dengue (49.9% ♀), 19.566 of Chikunguña (63.3% ♀) and 106.559 of Zika (66.4% ♀). The most affected population was in the range of 25 to 39 years-old, but significant differences in the average age of the three conditions (p<0.05) were observed. Most reports about Zika infection were based on clinical diagnosis. Conclusions: Implementation of mechanisms that allows a better understanding of the etiology and clinical behavior of these diseases by health actors is required.
