ABSTRACT
Dengue is the vector-borne viral disease of major importance in the world. Because so
far there is no licensed vaccine that can be used to prevent the infection and there is no specific
antiviral treatment, the early and specific diagnosis is a powerful tool to provide prompt and timely
management of the patient. Despite during more than six decades there has been available a wide
variety of laboratory techniques that can be used for the diagnosis of dengue, there is often lack
of a consensus among the people or entities responsible of the diagnosis about the advantages
and disadvantages of these techniques; for this reason, the diagnosis of dengue is more difficult.
Moreover, taking into account that most of the techniques used are based on the immune
response against dengue virus, and a cross reactivity with other viruses genetically related could
be possible; the possibility of false positives is high. Accordingly, in recent years the development
and validation of molecular techniques has increased, as they are more sensitive, specific and rapid than the cellular and immunological techniques. Therefore, it is necessary to compare the
usefulness of laboratory techniques to dengue diagnosis, such as cellular, immunological and
molecular tests.
