Whole blood DENV RNA detection is sensitive for acute dengue infection and may remain positive for weeks to months.
Molecular detection of dengue virus (DENV) RNA from serum or plasma provides an accurate acute-phase diagnostic (< 7 days after symptom onset). Detection may be prolonged in whole blood, although data are limited. We tested for DENV by real-time reverse transcription-PCR in 345 paired acute-phase plasma and whole blood samples from individuals with a Flavivirus-like illness in southwestern Guatemala. In 18/18 cases with detectable DENV RNA in plasma, whole blood samples were positive and yielded similar cycle threshold values. In seven individuals with convalescent samples obtained 2-3 weeks later, DENV RNA remained detectable in whole blood but not plasma. In three additional cases, DENV RNA was only detectable in whole blood at the acute visit. In two cases, whole blood detection was linked to a virologically confirmed DENV infection 6-11 weeks earlier. Whole blood DENV RNA detection is sensitive for acute dengue infection and may remain positive for weeks to months.
