Antibody avidity following secondary dengue virus type 2 infection across a range of disease severity.

ABSTRACT: The four dengue virus serotypes (DENV1-4) are responsible for the most prevalent mosquito-borne viral illness in humans. DENV causes a spectrum of disease from self-limiting dengue fever (DF) to severe, life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome (DHF/DSS). Antibodies from one infection can contribute to either protection or increased disease severity in a subsequent infection with a distinct DENV serotype. The effectiveness of the antibody response is modulated by both the affinity and avidity of the antibody/antigen interaction.We investigated how antibody avidity developed over time following secondary DENV2 infection across different disease severities.We analyzed sera from 42 secondary DENV2-infected subjects (DF, n=15; DHF, n=16; DSS, n=11) from a pediatric hospital-based dengue study in Nicaragua. IgG avidity against DENV2 virions was measured in samples collected during acute and convalescent phases as well as 3, 6, and 18 months post-illness using a urea enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The data show a significant increase in avidity from acute to convalescent phase followed by a decrease from convalescent phase to 3 months post-symptom onset, then a plateau. Linear regression analysis comparing antibody avidity between disease severity groups over time indicate that individuals with more severe disease (DHF/DSS) experienced greater decay in antibody avidity over time compared to less severe disease (DF), and ROC curve analysis showed that at 18 months post-illness, lower avidity was associated with previously having experienced more severe disease.These data suggest that increased dengue disease severity is associated with lower antibody avidity at later time-points post-illness.

Project description:IntroductionDengue virus (DENV) infection is currently a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the world; it has become more common and virulent over the past half-century and has gained much attention. Thus, this review compared the percentage of severe cases of both primary and secondary infections with different serotypes of dengue virus.MethodsData related to the number of cases involving dengue fever (DF), dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), dengue shock syndrome (DSS) or severe dengue infections caused by different serotypes of dengue virus were obtained by using the SCOPUS, the PUBMED and the OVID search engines with the keywords "(dengue* OR dengue virus*) AND (severe dengue* OR severity of illness index* OR severity* OR DF* OR DHF* OR DSS*) AND (serotypes* OR serogroup*)", according to the MESH terms suggested by PUBMED and OVID.ResultsApproximately 31 studies encompassing 15,741 cases reporting on the dengue serotypes together with their severity were obtained, and meta-analysis was carried out to analyze the data. This study found that DENV-3 from the Southeast Asia (SEA) region displayed the greatest percentage of severe cases in primary infection (95% confidence interval (CI), 31.22-53.67, 9 studies, n = 598, I2 = 71.53%), whereas DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4 from the SEA region, as well as DENV-2 and DENV-3 from non-SEA regions, exhibited the greatest percentage of severe cases in secondary infection (95% CI, 11.64-80.89, 4-14 studies, n = 668-3,149, I2 = 14.77-96.20%). Moreover, DENV-2 and DENV-4 from the SEA region had been found to be more highly associated with dengue shock syndrome (DSS) (95% CI, 10.47-40.24, 5-8 studies, n = 642-2,530, I2 = 76.93-97.70%), while DENV-3 and DENV-4 from the SEA region were found to be more highly associated with dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) (95% CI, 31.86-54.58, 9 studies, n = 674-2,278, I2 = 55.74-88.47%), according to the 1997 WHO dengue classification. Finally, DENV-2 and DENV-4 from the SEA region were discovered to be more highly associated with secondary infection compared to other serotypes (95% CI, 72.01-96.32, 9-12 studies, n = 671-2,863, I2 = 25.01-96.75%).ConclusionThis study provides evidence that the presence of certain serotypes, including primary infection with DENV-3 from the SEA region and secondary infection with DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4 also from the SEA region, as well as DENV-2 and DENV-3 from non SEA regions, increased the risk of severe dengue infections. Thus, these serotypes are worthy of special consideration when making clinical predictions upon the severity of the infection.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO CRD42015026093 (http://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO).
