Abstract
Background: In Brazil, dengue endemic and epidemic patterns indicate an upward trend in incidence and hospitalization in the past decade. Objective: To report dengue circulating serotypes from 1994 to 2003 and the role of distinct serotypes on dengue clinical outcomes in Central Brazil. Methods: Virological surveillance for dengue caseswas conducted in the city of Goiania (∼1,200,000 population) from 1994 to 2003. Samples were tested using dengue IgM antibody (MAC–ELISA) and/or virus isolation. Circulating subtypes and genotypes were identified by reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) and by restricted site-specific PCR (RSS-PCR) patterns in selected samples.
