TLDR
The results obtained demonstrate that adults with a primary dengue infection are at risk of developing the severe disease (DHF) if they are infected with a different serotype.About:

TL;DR: A global strategy aimed at increasing the capacity for surveillance and outbreak response, changing behaviours and reducing the disease burden using integrated vector management in conjunction with early and accurate diagnosis has been advocated.

Dengue: an update
María G. Guzmán,Gustavo Kourí +1 more
TL;DR: The status of vaccine development is described and it is emphasised that the only alternative that the authors have today to control the disease is through control of its vector Aedes aegypti.

Dengue Virus Pathogenesis: an Integrated View
TL;DR: A personalized approach to the study of pathogenesis will elucidate the basis of individual risk for development of DHF and DSS as well as identify the genetic and environmental bases for differences in risk forDevelopment of severe disease.

Secondary infection as a risk factor for dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome: an historical perspective and role of antibody-dependent enhancement of infection
TL;DR: This review is focused on the etiological role of secondary infections (SI) and mechanisms of ADE, which results in an increased number of infected cells and increased viral output per cell at the late illness stage.

Dengue and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever
TL;DR: A review of the changing epidemiology of dengue and hemorrhagic fever by geographic region, the natural history and transmission cycles, clinical diagnosis of both Dengue fever and DVF, serologic and virologic laboratory diagnoses, pathogenesis, surveillance, prevention, and control can be found in this paper.
Dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever.
TL;DR: A major challenge for public health officials in all tropical areas of the world is to devleop and implement sustainable prevention and control programs that will reverse the trend of emergent dengue hemorrhagic fever.

Pathogenesis of dengue: challenges to molecular biology
TL;DR: This work has identified a severe syndrome, dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome, in Southeast Asian children, which recently has also been identified in children infected with the virus in Puerto Rico.
