Table 4.

DENV, CHIKV and ZIKV diagnosis in the period from July 2014 to October 2015

Total Confirmed Probable Possible Not confirmed
DENV diagnosis 157 68 12 33 44
CHIKV diagnosis 97 35 6 14 42
ZIKV diagnosis 16 4a 0 3b 9
Dual diagnosis DENV/CHIKV 76: two cases of possible co-infections. DENV: 18/76 (of which two CHIKV confirmed and one CHIKV possible cases)
CHIK: 20/76 (of which two DENV confirmed and 6 DENV possible cases)

aThe diagnosis of one of these cases was performed in Germany after we excluded DENV and CHIKV infections (ref). One was a case of autochthonous (most likely sexual) transmission (ref)

bOf these, two were probable cases of past ZIKV infections (PRNT positives and IgM negatives). One showed instead a PRNT b.l. result for ZIKV, which was probably due to cross reactivity of DENV specific antibodies
