Dodging the dengue fever bullet
as on who has had Dengue TWICE now and other if they have had it will really feel this is a hell of a break thru.
here may be hope. French company Sanofi Pasteur is developing a vaccine that may be available as soon as late next year.
The vaccine is effective against all four dengue virus serotypes, said Eric Mansion, Managing Director of Sanofi Pasteur’s Thailand-Myanmar-Laos division.
The first of two pivotal Phase III efficacy studies of the vaccine showed a 56 per cent decrease of dengue cases in 31,000 volunteers throughout Southeast Asia.
“The Phase III clinical study was conducted in Asia amongst children aged 2 to 14 years from dengue endemic areas of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam,†Mr Mansion explained.
“For the first time in a Phase III study, the vaccine demonstrated protection against dengue in Asian children.†- See more at: http://www.phuketgazette.net/special-re ... ad-image-0

I'd pay for that once it was approved by a western nation.

Unlikely as very few western countries have dengue.StroppyChops wrote:I'd pay for that once it was approved by a western nation.
I also have had dengue twice. 2nd time was a breeze.

Sure, but the pharmaceutical companies that stand to benefit from producing those shots in the millions exist in western countries...

Re: Dodging the dengue fever bullet
Ummm - Sanofi-Pasteur is at the centre of this trial - this company is probably the largest company in the world devoted to production of vaccines - you probably got some of these before you left for Cambodia.........StroppyChops wrote:Sure, but the pharmaceutical companies that stand to benefit from producing those shots in the millions exist in western countries...
The company has centres in different parts of the world for the purpose of trialling their vaccines to tackle diseases where they are most prevalent. So given that dengue is most prevalent in SEA, then their R & D site in Chachoengsao Thailand makes alot of sense.
That's probably coz you got a different serotype the second time. If you get another hit with a virus of the first, or now even the second....... then that could become a problem with hemorrhagic shock syndrome.Vladmir wrote:I also have had dengue twice. 2nd time was a breeze.

Re: Dodging the dengue fever bullet
The doctor (at SOS, iirc) told me that you can't get the same type twice...

My experience as well. Still taught me to be more careful about mosquito bite prevention.vladimir wrote:I also have had dengue twice. 2nd time was a breeze.
Be good if there was a vaccine but I'll wait for the trial results before celebrating. I've seen too many 'near breakthroughs' on a malaria vaccines over the last three decades to get too excited yet.

As another one who has been through it I hope this works.
I wouldn't wish dengue on my worst enemy.
