Intersection of the 242 DEPs identified in our study with 1248 differentially expressed transcripts (DETs) reported in earlier studies comparing gene profiles between acute and convalescent dengue samples [13–24], showed that 53 (21.9%) DEPs/DETs were shared (S7A Fig and S2 Table), of which 38 (73%) in a similar direction (Fig 1D). C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10), a chemotactic factor for NK and T cells, was identified as a DET in most studies. This evidence concerns the gene CXCL10 and dengue disease.
