Infecting serotype indicates the DENV serotype detected in the serum sample as determined by RT-PCR.
Fold enhancement values are enhancement ratio calculated by the fornula: mean plaque count at 1∶10 serum dilution/plaque count without addition of serum using FcγR-expressing BHK cell lines.
Underline indicates positive infection-enhancing activity. Positive infection-enhancing activity is defined as fold-enhancement value greater than cut-off value plus 2 times SD in the mean plaque count in the presence of human serum samples as compared to the cut-off value. Cut-off value was determined in the absence of serum.
Serum samples obtained from selected non acute dengue patients.
