village received 5- 10 second- or third-instar
Tx. amboinensis larvae biweekly for 7 months. Vector
surveillance (adult and larval) was conducted biweekly
between treatments. No differences in man-biting rates
or larval population indices were noted between the
treatment and control areas. It is hypothesized that
the multiplicity of larval habitats in this rural area
accounted for the lack of impact of predator releases,
which were directed solely toward artificial containers.

We managed a serologically documented case of dengue
fever with thrombocytopenia with IV IgG. Acute and convalescent
ELISA and HI titers indicated an acute dengue infection
with a secondary response that clinically, and by laboratory
parameters dramatically improved after IV IgG administration.
The use of IV IgG in cases of thrombocytopenia associated
with dengue has both theoretical advantages and disadvantages.
IV IgG may have a role in the management of DHF/DSS
because of the significant morbidity and mortality associated
with DHF/DSS. A prospective randomized study should
be developed to determine if IV IgG does indeed effect
the course of thrombocytopenia in dengue infections.
