Prevalence of antibodies against dengue virus in the city of Buenos Aires: Results of a probabilistic population survey.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Dengue is a rapidly growing global health issue. In Argentina, the disease burden is primarily based on case reports or retrospective series; however, there are no prospective probabilistic studies available. To estimate the seroprevalence of antibodies against the dengue virus (DENV) in adult residents of Buenos Aires, at the end of the 2023 season, which culminated in Argentina's largest recorded dengue outbreak, and immediately before the subsequent outbreak at the beginning of 2024.

Methods

A stratified, multi-stage probabilistic population survey was conducted to ensure representativeness of the adult population of Buenos Aires, considering geographical and socio-economic diversity.The survey determined the seroprevalence rate of DENV IgG and IgM antibodies us
