  • Dengue and leptospirosis infection during the coronavirus 2019 outbreak in Sri Lanka 
    Niriella, M.A.; Ediriweera, D.S.; de Silva, A.P.; Premaratna, B.A.H.R.; Jayasinghe, S.; de Silva, H.J. (Oxford University Press, 2021)
    ABSTRACT: A significant decrease in dengue fever cases and a contrasting increase in leptospirosis cases were reported for the second quarter of 2020 compared with 2019 in Sri Lanka. In the absence of significant environmental ...
  • Developing a severity index on day 4 to predict severe dengue infection in adults 
    Wijewantha, H.S.; Premaratna, R.; Nishad, A.A.N.; Mabharana, I.D.M.; de Silva, A.P.; Waraketiya, P.R.; Niriella, M.A.; de Silva, H.J. (Sri Lanka Medical Association, 2012)
    INTRODUCTION: Dengue causes high morbidity and mortality among adults in Sri Lanka. Early prediction of severe illness would help to reduce morbidity and mortality. Studies to identify predictors of severe dengue in adults ...
  • Effectiveness of single dose intravenous methyl prednisolone in reversing on going vascular leakage in dengue 
    Premaratna, R.; Abeyrathna, C.; de Alwis, K.; de Silva, H.A.; de Silva, H.J. (Sri Lanka Medical Association, 2013)
    INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Non-resolution of vascular leakage within 48 hours in dengue shock syndrome (DSS) can result in complications in the recovery phase due to fluid overload. It can also result in death in 0.5-5%. ...
  • Efficacy of a dengue vaccine candidate (TAK-003) in healthy children and adolescents two years after vaccination 
    López-Medina, E.; Biswal, S.; Saez-Llorens, X.; Borja-Tabora, C.; Bravo, L.; Sirivichayakul, C.; Vargas, L.M.; Alera, M.T.; Velásquez, H.; Reynales, H.; Rivera, L.; Watanaveeradej, V.; Rodriguez-Arenales, E.J.; Yu, D.; Espinoza, F.; Dietze, R.; Fernando, L.; Wickramasinghe, P.; Moreira Jr, E.D.; Fernando, A.D.; Gunasekera, D.; Luz, K.; da Cunha, R.V.; Tricou, V.; Rauscher, M.; Liu, M.; LeFevre, I.; Wallace, D.; Kosalaraksa, P.; Borkowski, A.; TIDES study group.

  • Knowledge and practices of dengue control and their effect on breeding sites and vector populations 
    Pinidiyapathirage, M.J.; Gunethilake, M.A.G.N.; Wijegunawardana, N.D.A.D. (Sri Lanka Medical Association, 2010)
    OBJECTIVE: To describe the association between knowledge and practices of dengue control with the observed dengue breeding sites and vector populations in a community. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among ...
  • Molecular and entomological studies on dengue 
    Hapugoda, M. (Faculty of Medicine, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2016)
    A novel molecular-based assay (Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction-based Liquid Hybridization (RT-PCR-LH)) was developed and validated for early detection of dengue virus in clinical specimens. Possible risk ...
