A Survey of Some Indian Marine Plants for Antiviral Activity
Extracts of seaweeds, seagrasses and mangroves from the southeast coast of India have been tested in vitro for antiviral activity against Newcastle disease, vaccinia, Semliki Forest, encephalomyocarditis and hepatitis Β viruses. In the primary test, of 73 extracts examined, 43 exhibited antiviral activity (> 50%) against at least any one of the viruses. Only two extracts, leaf of Bruguiera cyl…

Chymase Level Is a Predictive Biomarker of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever in Pediat…
Most patients with dengue experience mild disease, dengue fever (DF), while few develop the life-threatening diseases dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) or dengue shock syndrome (DSS). No laboratory tests predict DHF or DSS. We evaluated whether the serum chymase level can predict DHF or DSS in adult and pediatric patients and the influence of preexisting conditions (PECs) on chymase levels

Predicting the severity of dengue fever in children on admission based on cli…
Dengue fever is a re-emerging viral disease commonly occurring in tropical and subtropical areas. The clinical features and abnormal laboratory test results of dengue infection are similar to those of other febrile illnesses; hence, its accurate and timely diagnosis for providing appropriate treatment is difficult. Delayed diagnosis may be associated with inappropriate treatment and higher risk…
