Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST Jd32nR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. The resurgence of dengue In Singapore since 1986 had been associated with an adult predominance and a very low Incidence In children. No study had been carried out to investigate this finding. Here we report a serological study of 1068 children aged 0 to 15 years. There Is a significant rise In seroconverslon in children aged 6 years and older coinciding with the start of formal schooling. This suggests that there may be a change In the location where dengue Is acquired. |
