Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Dengue virus (DENV) infection is a significant global health concern, causing severe morbidity and mortality. While many cases present as a mild febrile illness, some progress to life-threatening severe dengue (SD). Early intervention is essential to improve outcomes, but current predictive methods lack specificity, burdening healthcare systems in endemic regions. Circulating long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as stable and promising biomarkers. This study explored the use of lncRNAs as predictive markers for SD.
