Filter by:Liver dysfunction marked by elevated alanine transaminase enzymes is quite common in dengue patients and subsequently affects the disease's severity and healing process. Unfortunately, liver function tests cannot always be done, especially in hospitals with limited facilities. In contrast, routine hematology tests are considered regular and inexpensive tests that can be performed on dengue patients. Therefore, this study aims to determine hematological parameters as markers of elevated liver enzymes in dengue patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prophylactic effect of JNJ-64281802 with respect to the prevention of laboratory-confirmed dengue virus (DENV) infection up to the last day of dosing among participants who have no evidence of current DENV infection at baseline.
This trial aims to validate a novel clinical care strategy based on a electronic clinical decision support algorithm (CDSA) combined with point of care rapid diagnostic tests by evaluating its impact on antibiotic prescription and clinical outcome of children and adolescent presenting at primary healthcare facilities with non-severe acute illness compared to routine practice. The trial also aims to assess the usability of the CDSA strategy. The study will be conducted in primary healthcare facilities across different epidemiological regions of Senegal.
The investigational study drug, JNJ-64281802, is being developed for the prevention and treatment of dengue infection. This study is hypothesizing that the highest dose of the investigational study drug is superior to receiving a placebo with respect to its antiviral activity in healthy adult participants inoculated with Dengue Serotype 3.
Dengue fever, an arbovirus transmitted by the Aedes mosquito, is a public health problem in all tropical and subtropical regions of the world. There is currently no antiviral treatment and vector control has shown its limits. The 2018 European marketing authorization of the tetravalent chimeric yellow fever / dengue vaccine (Dengvaxia®) is a major step forward in the fight against the disease. Dengvaxia® is indicated for the prevention of dengue due to serotypes DENV 1-4 in subjects aged 9 to 45 years with a history of infection with the dengue virus and living in endemic areas (seroprevalence of at least 70% in the target population). Dengue seroprevalence data in the French Caribbean territories of Martinique and Guadeloupe dates back to 2011 and concerns only adult blood donors aged 18 to 70 years. To date, no data exists for individuals aged 9 to 17 years in the region. In order to implement an optimal vaccine introduction strategy for these territories, the main aim of the DengueSEA study is to estimate the seroprevalence of the Dengue viruses (DENV 1-4) in 9-17 year olds giving a blood sample as part of care in hospital departments of the French Caribbean islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe.

Dengue fever is the most common arbovirus worldwide (390 million people infected per year) and is a global public health problem. This public health problem is also becoming European due to its rapid expansion over the past decade with an increase in cases of 400% and the appearance of the first indigenous cases of dengue in Europe. Studies on the consequences of dengue fever on pregnancy find contradictory results. In fact, most of these studies are observational studies describing the risk of dengue fever for pregnancy, without comparison with a control group or comparing the different pregnancy morbidities to those found during pregnancy in the general population. Other research is retrospective case-control studies with major biases in the definitions of obstetric complications, which makes the results questionable. The study therefore proposes to carry out a prospective case-control study with rigorous matching criteria, strict definitions of cases, controls and obstetric complications.
Dengue is the most common arbovirus worldwide (390 million people infected each year) and belongs to the Flavivirus genus of the Flaviviridae family like Zika. Its expansion has been rapid since the last decade with an increase in the number of cases of 400% and the first cases of indigenous dengue described in Europe. Current data on the consequences of dengue fever on the fetus are incomplete. The risk of maternal-fetal transmission of dengue during the peripartum period has now been recorded in numerous case reports and a few case series for patients who contracted dengue in the 12 days preceding childbirth or at the time of delivery. However, the transmission of dengue is highly variable depending on the studies ranging from 1.6 to 15% and the consequences for the newborn are very variable ranging from simple thrombocytopenia to death in severe neonatal dengue. Regarding the risk of malformation, a few old cases of heart disease, hydrocephalus and neural tube closure abnormalities have been described in the literature following exposure to dengue fever during pregnancy. Since no malformative case has been described, however, to our knowledge, no prospective study with specialized ultrasound monitoring has been performed for pregnant women who contracted dengue during their pregnancy.
Arboviruses, diseases transmitted to humans by the bite of an insect vector, are a major public health problem, particularly in tropical and sub-tropical countries. In New Caledonia, dengue epidemics are recurrent and may be associated with the co-circulation of other arboviruses such as Zika or chikungunya. The virological determinants which condition the occurrence of these epidemics may be linked to an increased vectorial competence of the vector mosquito Aedes aegypti for a particular viral isolate. In fact, the Aedes aegypti mosquito is infected by making a blood meal on a person infected with an arbovirus. The virus infects its digestive tract, then spreads throughout the mosquito's body until it reaches its salivary glands. The virus is then present in the saliva and will be injected into the human host during a new blood meal. Some viral variants are best transmitted by Aedes aegypti. In general, the study of this vectorial competence is carried out by experiments in the laboratory during which an artificial blood meal composed of mammalian blood (human, rabbit, etc.) is mixed with a viral stock. Carrying out deported blood meals during which blood collected from patients infected with an arbovirus is used to gorge mosquitoes makes it possible to place oneself in experimental conditions as close as possible to the natural cycle of transmission of arboviruses. In the human host, cells of the myeloid lineage present in the peripheral blood constitute preferred targets of replication for arboviruses. At the same time, the peripheral blood cells of patients are activated in response to infection and secrete many soluble factors released into the blood of patients. The study of blood samples from patients infected with arboviruses is therefore of prime importance for understanding both the replicative mechanisms of arboviruses but also the immune response they induce.
Arboviruses, diseases transmitted to humans by the bite of an insect vector, are a major public health problem, especially in tropical and sub-tropical countries. A promising strategy aimed at blocking the circulation of arboviruses is to release Aedes aegypti mosquitoes carrying the endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia. In 2019, the Wolbachia strategy was implemented in Nouméa as part of the World Mosquito Program. This intervention will modify the epidemiological profile of arboviruses in New Caledonia. Epidemiological surveillance of arboviruses requires molecular characterization of the virus contained in the serum obtained from the blood collected from patients. This molecular characterization by RNA isolation techniques, RT-qPCR monitoring and sequencing allows the construction of phylogenetic trees. In the context of the implementation of the World Mosquito Program in Nouméa, the investigators plan to follow the molecular evolution of arboviruses, over the period preceding the releases of mosquitoes carrying Wolbachia (from 1995 to 2019) then over a period of 5 years. following the releases. At the same time, the virus can be isolated by cell culture techniques and in vitro infections, allowing its study in vitro in cells or in vivo in mosquitoes. This study allows us to measure the impact of the Wolbachia strategy on the evolution of the virus's ability to replicate in cells in the presence of Wolbachia and to be transmitted by the mosquito.
