Considered as major human arbovirosis, dengue occurs in several clinical forms. Some forms can lead to fatal complications such as dengue shock syndrome. This hypovolemic shock cannot be predicted and specific curative treatments are still lacking, and thus management of patients with dengue is difficult. The purpose of this review is to describe state-of-the-art of the knowledge on the pathophysiology of shock syndrome and to highlight the interest of high-content screening methods in translational approaches between research and medicine for investigation of individual response during dengue shock syndrome.
