A simple and sensitive procedure of reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was developed previously such that all 4 serotypes of dengue viruses could be detected and their serotypes identified simultaneously in a single-step procedure. In this study we compared the RT-PCR with a co...
