By definition, all NS1 positive samples were denoted “acute dengue virus serology”, and all CSF IgM positive samples were “acute serology” (although we acknowledge that NS1 antigen assay is not a serological test). Numbers in superscript denote samples with insufficient serum for NS1 antigen assay.
CSF positive for anti-JEV IgM, serum positive for NS1 and anti-DENV IgM in same episode (diagnosed with both).
