Protein Produced by Mast Cells can Predict Risk of Life Threatening Complications Among Dengue Patients

A joint study conducted by researchers at Duke Medicine and Duke-National University of Singapore reveals that the risk of life threatening complications among people infected with dengue virus could be predicted by a protein that is produced by mast cells in the immune system. Their study also found that in experiments in mice, a class of drugs commonly used to treat asthma by targeting the mast cells could help treat vascular symptoms associated with dengue infections. ...
