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
