Sponsor's own description

The purpose of this study is to seek the presence of dengue virus in semen, to determine its localization and to assess the efficiency of spermatozoa processing methods to obtain virus free spermatozoa. This is a prospective study involving 15 patients, with acute dengue virus infection and a positive RNA detection in blood or/and urines. These results are important to understand the physiopathology of dengue virus infection and will help to counsel the infected patient in epidemic zona or returning from epidemic country. Moreover, they will help to define the management and viral safety procedures during Medically assisted Procreation in the context of dengue virus epidemic
