About this study

Official title: Prospective Surveillance of Febrile Illness for Dengue-Endemic Areas in Latin America

The purpose of this study is to detect acute febrile episodes and dengue infection in five Latin American countries to assess dengue seroprevalence.

Primary objectives:

  • To identify acute febrile episodes among the cohort in order to detect the presence of dengue infection.
  • To describe the dengue seroprevalence among the cohort at baseline and at the end of the study.
Read the detailed description

All participants will make two visits to a study site, an enrollment visit and a termination visit. Additional visits will be made if febrile episodes occur: an acute visit and a convalescent visit. Participants or their parents/guardians will be contacted weekly to monitor the occurrence of febrile episodes and ensure appropriate assessment and care.

No vaccine will be provided or administered in this study
