Rapid Diagnosis of Dengue Viremia by Reverse Transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction using 3′-Noncoding Region Universal Primers

Abstract excerpt

A reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method was developed as a rapid diagnostic test of dengue viremia. To detect dengue viruses in serum or plasma specimens, a pair of universal primers was designed for use in the RT-PCR. Using these primers, the 3'-noncoding region of dengue virus types 1, 2, 3, and 4 could be amplified, but not those of other flaviviruses, such as West Nile virus,...
