Dengue Clinical Characterisation Protocol
A standardised observational framework to characterise H5Nx clinical epidemiology and address critical knowledge gaps to improve patient outcomes.
A comprehensive understanding of dengue clinical epidemiology is essential to tailor public health responses and design clinical trials to improve supportive care and therapeutics.
The ISARIC-WHO Clinical Characterisation Protocol (CCP) is a standardised approach to rapid, coordinated clinical investigation of any acute infections of public health interest including dengue.
ISARIC has partnered with global experts to develop a dengue CRF and adapt data collection and analytics tools for dengue, enabling research to :
- Characterise the clinical presentation of cases, including the natural history, progression, and variability of symptoms.
- Identify risk factors and outcomes associated with the disease
- Inform better case management strategies, contribute to the design of clinical trials, and guide public health interventions.

Regional implementation
Some sites have developed a local or regional adaptation of the protocol for their context.
- A prospective public health surveillance study in epidemiology and outcomes of patients hospitalised with Dengue in South Asia. Learn more.
- A Severe Dengue study in Sao Paul, Brazil
- A Severe Dengue study in Bangladesh
