*42 specimens were randomly selected from the 121 IgG-positive Haitians (95% confidence interval [CI]: 94.5%–100%).
Samples that were anti-IGM ELISA positive were not tested by microneutralization since they were considered recent DENV infections.
** DENV cross reactive = positive neutralization titers to more than one DENV serotype without a four-fold difference between DENV serotypes to determine the predominant serotype; Primary DENV = reactivity to only one DENV serotype.
