Early diagnosis and prognosis of severe dengue in Vietnamese children

登革热是一种由蚊子传播的病毒感染。在过去十年中，热带澳大利亚经历了多次登革热疫情。该项目在越南胡志明市进行，将确定早期诊断严重登革热的快速诊断测试的准确性。在这样做的过程中，我们还将使用简单的实验室和临床发现推导出一种算法，可以帮助识别那些严重并发症风险最大的患者，对患者和医院都有好处。

Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection. Tropical Australia has experienced multiple outbreaks of dengue in the last decade. This project, conducted in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam, will define the accuracy of a rapid diagnostic test for the early diagnosis of severe dengue. In doing so, we will also derive an algorithm using simple laboratory and clinical findings that can help identify those patients at greatest risk of severe complications, with benefits for both patients and hospitals.
