Dengue danger signs: new study aims to predict who gets hospitalized
NCT ID NCT07007585
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 100 people with confirmed dengue to identify which symptoms and lab results predict hospitalization. It also tracks how often blood transfusions are given and their outcomes. The goal is to improve care for dengue patients, not to test a new treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors better predict which dengue patients need hospital care and improve transfusion guidelines.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly test any new drug or therapy, and results may not apply to all populations.

Who is studied
The study population consists of patients with confirmed dengue virus infection who seek care at Clínica México, a second-level hospital located in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico. Participants will be enrolled from both the emergency department and outpatient services. The hospital primarily serves an urban and peri-urban population from northern Coahuila and bordering rural areas. This setting allows for the inclusion of a broad range of clinical presentations, from mild outpatient cases to severe dengue requiring hospitalization or intensive care.
