These sera were collected from patients Dr. Soetomo Hospital and private laboratory in Surabaya from 2008–2009. From 360 samples, 68 samples (18.9%) were undifferentiated fever, 53 samples (14.7%) were dengue fever, 239 samples (66.4%) were dengue hemorrhagic fever. From 58 Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) samples, 25 samples (43%) were positive, consisting of 52% DEN-2, 20% DEN-1, 16% DEN-3 and 12% DEN-4. These results showed that four serotypes are circulating in Indonesia, dominated by DEN-2, followed by DEN-1, DEN-3 and DEN-4.
