NCT ID NCT06674837
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study will follow 4,000 children in Cambodia to understand how common Japanese Encephalitis (JE) is and how often it spreads without symptoms. Researchers will compare healthy children with those hospitalized for fever and brain-related symptoms. The goal is to measure the true burden of JE and identify risk factors, which could help improve future prevention efforts.
