I read from today's Phnom Penh Post (online edition) that there's potentially workable vaccine now against dengue fever. Exciting news though it will probably come way too late for this year, again an exceptionally bad dengue year (last was in 2007).
PPP also reported on another medical update on the "mystery disease" of serious enterovirus 71, a virus that is now going around Cambodia and creating a bit of a panic here. Apparently the local children's hospital (Kantha Bopha) and the WHO are still arguing over the exact cause of this outbreak, proper treatment, and level of cause for concern. Go figure.
