Thirteen patients with suspected dengue (two, nine, and two patients from 2014, 2015, and 2016, respectively) yielded equivocal test results. Another 657 patients with suspected dengue (96, 37, and 524 patients from 2014, 2015, and 2016, respectively) were excluded from the sample population because acute sera were not collected and/or diagnostic testing was not performed.
