Acute appendicitis during the recovery phase of dengue hemorrhagic fever: two case reports

Thadchanamoorthy, V.; Ganeshrajah, A.; Dayasiri, K.; Jayasekara, N.P. (BioMed Central, 2022)

Background: Dengue fever is one of the most common tropical diseases, with high prevalence in many tropical countries including Sri Lanka. Dengue infection can present from subclinical infection to dengue shock syndrome. ...
A Case report of dengue and chikungunya co-infection in Sri Lanka

Abeyewickreme, W.; Hapuarachchi, H.A.C.; Bandara, K.B.A.T.; Hapugoda, M.D.; Williams, S. (The Parasitology and Tropical Medicine Association of Thailand, 2008)

Dengue fever and chikungunya are arboviral diseases transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. Though dengue has been an important communicable disease in Sri Lanka for many years, chikungunya has not been reported in Sri Lanka since ...
A Comparative retrospective study of novel Reverse-Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction-based Liquid Hybridization (RT-PCR-LH) assay with Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) amplification, virus isolation and serological techniques for early, definitive laboratory diagnosis of dengue infection

Hapugoda, M.D.; de Silva, N.R.; Khan, B.; Gunasena, S.; Dayanath, M.Y.D.; Abeyewickreme, W. (Malaysian Society of Parasitology and Tropical Medicine, 2007)

Dengue is an important vector borne viral infection in South East Asia. Dengue virus is responsible for dengue fever, dengue haemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome. Early diagnosis of infection helps in monitoring ...
Correlation between clinical and laboratory diagnosis of dengue in Sri Lanka.

Hapugoda, M.D.; Khan, B.; de Silva, N.R.; Gunasekera, J.; Abeyewickreme, W. (Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University, 2007)

BACKGROUND: In Sri Lanka, diagnosis of dengue mainly depends on clinical signs and symptoms. Very few suspected patients from the state and private sector health institutions are tested by laboratory diagnostic assays ...
Detection of dengue virus in Aedes albopictus mosquitoes by Reverse Transcription Polymerase-Chain Reaction-Liquid Hybridization (RT-PCR-LH) based assay.

Hapugoda, M.D.; Gunasekera, M.B.; de Silva, N.R.; Gunasena, S.; Prithimala, L.D.; Dayanath, M.Y.D.; Abeyewickreme, W. (Sri Lanka College of Microbiologists, 2003)

Dengue is an important public health problem. In this study an RT-PCR-LH assay was developed for the detection of dengue virus in Ae.albopictus, a vector of dengue. Laboratory bred Ae.albopictus (adults inoculated with ...
Early predictors of severe dengue in adults

Wijewantha, H.; Premaratna, R.; Mabharana, I.; Nishad, N.; de Silva, A.; de Silva, H.J. (Elsevier, 2012)

BACKGROUND: Dengue is the main infectious disease causing high morbidity and mortality among adults in dengue endemic regions of Sri Lanka. Prediction of severe illness at an earlier stage of infection helps to arrive at ...
Expanded dengue syndrome presenting with acute liver failure, acute kidney injury, pancreatic involvement, coagulopathy, and multiple intracranial hemorrhages in a young child: a case report

Thadchanamoorthy, V.; Dayasiri, K. (BioMed Central, 2022)

Background: Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection that typically occurs in tropical and subtropical countries. The clinical manifestations of dengue infection range from an asymptomatic subclinical course to severe ...
Molecular diagnosis and transmission of dengue virus in Sri Lanka

Hapugoda, G. P. G. M. D. (University of Kelaniya, 2004)

Dengue virus is responsible for Dengue Fever (DF), Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS). Four circulating dengue serotypes (DEN 1-4) have been identified. Early diagnosis of dengue viral infection ...
Protein Carbonyl as a biomarker of oxidative stress in severe Leptospirosis, and its usefulness in differentiating Leptospirosis from Dengue Infections

Fernando, N.; Wickremesinghe, S.; Niloofa, R.; Rodrigo, C.; Karunanayake, L.; de Silva, H.J.; Wickremasinghe, A.R.; Premawansa, S.; Rajapakse, S.; Handunnetti, S.M. (Public Library of Science, 2016)

Pathogenesis of disease severity in leptospirosis is not clearly understood whether it is due to direct damage by pathogen or by adverse immune responses. Knowledge on biomarkers of oxidative stress which could be used in ...
Tetravalent dengue specific domain III based chimeric recombinant protein as dengue diagnostic intermediates for the detection of both anti-dengue immunoglobulin M(IGM) and imunoglobulin G(IGG) antibodies in human serum samples.

Hapugoda, M.D.; Abeyewickreme, W.; Gunasena, S.; Khanna, N. (International Water Management Institute, 2006)

BACKGROUND: Dengue infection is an important mosquito borne viral infection caused by four serotypes of dengue virus with explosive outbreaks occurring in many tropical areas. Laboratory diagnosis of the disease mainly ...
