Current Status of Dengue Therapeutics Research and Development. Dengue is a significant global health problem. Even though a vaccine against dengue is now available, which is a notable achievement, its long-term protective efficacy against each of the 4 dengue virus serotypes remains to be definitively determined.

This review will provide a brief account of the status of therapeutics research and development for dengue.
