    Abstract:
    A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine dengue virus IgM-positive rate in Terai region, Nepal from August to December 2007. Serum samples were collected from 183 symptomatic cases. The samples were examined for dengue virus specific IgM using particle agglutination test. Of 183 serum samples, 55 (30.0%) had positive for dengue IgM antibody. The positive rate was highest (50.0%) in Biratnagar, and lowest (19.6%) in Chitwan male to female ratio was 2:1 in IgM-positive populations. IgM-positive rate was 29.0% at ages 21-30, 25.4% at ages 11-20 and 23.6% at ages 0-10, but 10.9% at ages 31-40, and ages over 40. There was not significant association between occupation of the patients and positive rate among farmer, labour, service, business and student.
