Abstract

Introduction: Dengue is an arbovirus that continues to cause serious public health problems in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the planet.

Methods: In this study, blood samples from children were investigated by RT-PCR, aimed at identifying dengue virus serotypes in Manaus, AM, in 2008 in this infant population.

Results: DENV-3 was the only serotype identified.

Conclusions: In this study, 83% of children examined were negative for dengue by RT-PCR, suggesting the occurrence of other febrile illnesses that need to be determined.
