Prospective Clinical Registry for Evaluation of Exanthematous Infections and Coinfections

Plain-language summary
Exanthematous fevers are a global public health problem. The spread of arboviruses due to various factors, including climate change, has resulted in major epidemics such as the one that occurred in Brazil in 2024, representing an extremely concerning scenario from both epidemiological and healthcare perspectives. In addition to this, the reemergence of childhood exanthematous diseases in several countries, including Brazil, is alarming and occurs due to declining vaccination coverage and increased migratory movements. These diseases present overlapping clinical symptoms, and their differential diagnosis is often challenging, which, in a context of dengue and Chikungunya epidemics like the current one, may lead to underreporting of diseases such as measles and rubella. This project aims to build a prospective registry of the occurrence of dengue, Chikungunya, measles, and rubella in various healthcare centers in Brazil, in order to better understand the epidemiological scenario, identify clinical variables associated with different diagnoses, and describe healthcare bottlenecks that may hinder proper reporting and identification of these diseases.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring

Prevalence of positive infections for one or more infectious diseases (rubella, measles, dengue, and Chikungunya)
Timeframe: From enrollment to the end of follow-up (30 days).
