摘要: This study describes the use of reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to generate dengue 2 amplicons from paraffin-embedded autopsy tissues collected in Cuba 17 years ago. The presumptive diagnoses had been made only by clinical evolution without serologic confirmation. confirms once again that virus was directly associated with fatal cases children and illustrates potential RT-PCR for retrospective diagnosis after death. A close similarity genomic sequences RNA detected tissue samples those Cuban strains previously investigated appropriate classification etiologic agent 1981 hemorrhagic fever epidemic.
