Abstract
Human blood donors from Penang Hospital were tested for a period of one year for Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus positive reactors. The presence of specific IgG against dengue virus (DEN) and JE virus were determined by the dot enzyme immunoassay (DEIA) test. Approximately 79 were flavivirus positive while 8.2 had a stronger antibody response to JEV than DEN. About 6.5 of the total serum tested (8 080) were found to have been exposed to JEV. The plaque reduction neutralisation test (PRNT) titres on 10 sera with higher titres to dengue as compared to JEV showed high correlating dengue PRNT titres and low JEV PRNT titres. However PRNT on 10 of the sera that were highly positive to JEV than to DEN resulted in only 20 having high titres to JEV as compared to dengue 62 having high titres to dengue as compared to JEV and 18 having equal titres to JEV and dengue. About 1.3 of the samples tested have shown a likelihood of exposure to JEV.
