 Dengue is a mosquito transmitted viral infection. It is the leading arthropod-borne viral disease in the world. Since 1950 the number of people infected has risen steadily and it has become a health threat with an estimated 3.6 billion persons at risk [1]. In distribution also it has become a global problem. While Southeast Asia and India were well known areas of endemicity now South and Central America have also become endemic. Even developed countries like USA where it was considered under control, is also facing the threat of dengue [2]. Dengue which was once considered a pediatric illness is now increasingly being reported in adults as well. This geographic and demographic expansion warrants more studies on dengue infections.
