The objective of this research was to investigate the presence of hyperendemicity and recrudescence activity of dengue by using Real Time RT-PCR for dengue serotyping. A total of 246 clinically suspected cases of dengue were selected based on WHO 2009 dengue case classification. Acute phase blood samples were tested for NS1 antigen, IgM and IgG antibody and samples positive by one of the parameters: NS1 Ag and/or IgM Ab/IgG Ab were further subjected to Real time RT-PCR. Of the 246 clinically suspected cases of Dengue, 68 (27.6%) were positive for NS1 Ag and/or IgM Ab/IgG Ab and of these, 30 (44%) samples were positive by Real time RT-PCR. All the four dengue serotypes were found to co-circulate in this region, however no sample harboured more than one serotype. Co-circulation of all four dengue serotypes in the studied region emphasises the need of molecular monitoring of circulating DENV serotypes.
