FCGR3B copy number variation and host susceptibility to vascular leakage in dengue hemorrhagic fever / Umairah Mokhtar

Dengue is a serious public health threat in many countries around the world. It is estimated that 50- 100 million cases of severe dengue requiring hospitalization occurs annually. Approximately 500,000 of these cases manifested as DHF/ Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS) with more than 20, 000 deaths worldw...
