Dengue continues to cause a major public health burden in Vietnam and globally. While most clinical cases resolve spontaneously, a proportion will develop severe manifestations, including bleeding, organ impairment, and capillary leakage sometimes leading to cardiovascular collapse. As yet, no antiviral agents or adjunctive therapies have been found to alter disease outcomes in dengue.
The focus of the group is on translational clinical research to address some of the major questions and unmet needs in the dengue field, with the overall aim of impacting dengue management and improving clinical outcomes.
