Summary:There are no effective therapies for dengue, and management relies on optimal supportive care. Since the only licensed vaccine for dengue is limited for use in seropositive individuals, effective vector control strategies remain the most important approach in global disease prevention efforts. Sophie Yacoub leads the group and a translational programme of clinical research focusing on pathogenesis studies, clinical trials of new therapeutics, and innovative technology centred on non-invasive monitoring systems with the aim of improving the management and clinical outcomes of patients with dengue. The images shown here aim to raise awareness of the burden of dengue, as well as highlight the efforts made by the medical staff in local government hospitals to provide high-quality clinical care in challenging settings and OUCRU's research efforts to improve clinical management and facilitate disease prevention strategies for dengue in Vietnam and globally.
