A mismatch between the infecting serotype and the adaptive memory response is hypothesized to lead to exacerbated immune responses resulting in severe dengue. Here, we aim to define in detail the phenotype and function of different regulatory T cell (Treg) subsets and their association with disease severity in a cohort of acute dengue virus (DENV)-infected Cambodian children. Treg frequencies and proliferation of Tregs are increased in dengue patients compared to age-matched controls. Tregs from dengue patients are skewed to a Th1-type Treg phenotype. Interestingly, Tregs from severe dengue patients produce more interleukin-10 after\n              <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n              stimulation compared to Tregs from classical dengue fever patients. Functionally, Tregs from dengue patients have reduced suppressive capacity, irrespective of disease severity. Taken together, these data suggest that even though Treg frequencies are increased in the blood of acute DENV-infected patients, Tregs fail to resolve inflammation and thereby could contribute to the immunopathology of dengue.\n            <\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>IMPORTANCE<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>According to the World Health Organization, dengue is the fastest-spreading, epidemic-prone infectious disease. The extent of dengue virus infections increased over the years, mainly driven by globalization\u2014including travel and trade\u2014and environmental changes. Dengue is an immunopathology caused by an imbalanced immune response to a secondary heterotypic infection. As regulatory T cells (Tregs) are essential in maintaining immune homeostasis and dampening excessive immune activation, this study addressed the role of Tregs in dengue immunopathology. We show that Tregs from dengue patients are highly activated, skewed to a Th1-like Treg phenotype and less suppressive compared to healthy donor Tregs. Our data suggest that Tregs fail to resolve ongoing inflammation during dengue infection and hence contribute to the immunopathology of severe dengue disease. These data clarify the role of Tregs in dengue immunopathogenesis, emphasizing the need to develop T cell-based vaccines for dengue.<\/jats:p>\n
