Severe Dengue

The goal of this randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled trial is to learn about dexamethasone and the treatment of severe dengue population. The main question it aims to answer are steroid therapy may be effective in dengue.

The purpose of this multi-site, factorial randomised, platform trial is to evaluate host-directed therapeutic agents in patients hospitalised with moderate and severe dengue virus infection. Our primary aim is to find safe and affordable therapeutics which prevent disease progression among those at high risk for severe dengue, and improve outcomes for those with established severe disease, thereby also reducing the substantial burden placed on health systems in dengue endemic regions.

The goal of this observational study is to identify biomarkers and host factors associated with dengue severity in patients from dengue-endemic regions. The main question it aims to answer is: Can multi-omics approaches predict disease severity and identify key factors contributing to severe dengue infections? Participants will include individuals with dengue infection, and the study will analyze their blood samples using multi-omics techniques to uncover host immune responses, disease pathogenesis, and cellular pathway interactions. The study will also assess the role of primary and secondary infections, virus serotypes, and immunological factors in disease progression. Findings aim to support disease management, improve severity prediction, and identify potential therapeutic targets to prevent severe outcomes.
