Abstract
⺠Soluble ST2 (sST2) but not its ligand IL-33 is increased in dengue infections. ⺠Higher levels of sST2 are associated with severe cases of pediatric dengue. ⺠Plasma sST2 has positive association with other pro-inflammatory cytokines previously described in acute dengue infections. ⺠A biomarker cytokine sST2 predictor of dengue severity is proposed.
