Dengue virus is a globally distributed Flavivirus with 4 distinct serotypes (DV-1, 2, 3, 4), is primarily transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito and is prevalent throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Seroconversion occurs approximately 3 to 7 days following exposure and, therefore, testing of acute and convalescent sera for IgG antibodies may be necessary to make the diagnosis.
