✦AI Summary
Developing a direct treatment for dengue fever remains difficult due to the virus's short duration in the body and the complex inflammatory response it triggers. Experts note that treatment must be administered very early to be effective, which is often hindered by delayed diagnosis.
Although the dengue virus was identified in the early 20th century, and the disease itself known since at least the time of the Jin Dynasty in China (265-420 AD), there is still no direct treatment for dengue fever.
