Abstract excerpt
Dengue virus (DENV) causes a spectrum of illness from asymptomatic infection, to a mild febrile illness, to occasional more severe complications including hemorrhage and shock. Dengue is endemic in the state of Morelos, Mexico. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs1801274 of FcγRIIa and rs4804803 of DC-SIGN, have been associated with protection from or susceptibility to severe dengue infection. Both of...
