Rationale:

        The correct management of dengue infection requires an up-to-date and comprehensive knowledge of all relevant aspects of the disease. Thailand has been a dengue-endemic area since the 1950s, and the knowledge and experience gained has thus accumulated and been utilised for the effective management and control of dengue infections in the population. Participants in this training course will gain invaluable knowledge and experience from real-life situations in this highly endemic area.

        To provide course participants with the most relevant, comprehensive, and up-to-date knowledge of dengue infection.
