ABSTRACT
Typing of dengue viruses was done for clinical specimens from a total of 136 patients (children under 15-years-old) suspected of having dengue virus infections and who had been admitted to Pathum Thani Provincial Hospital during the period May 1999 to April 2000. Altogether, 44 strains were isolated (isolation rate: 32.4%), consisting of 18 DEN-1, 18 DEN-2, 7 DEN-3 and 1 DEN-4. The isolation rate decreased according to the number of days after the onset of disease, from day 4 to day 8.
