Hives, shortness of breath, swelling of the lips or throat, or hospitalization related to a previous vaccination or an allergy to specific medications/animals for which antigens may be in the virus preparations to include: shellfish allergy, fetal bovine serum, L-glutamine, neomycin and streptomycin Chronic migraine headaches, defined as more than 15 headache days per month over a 3 month period of which more than 8 are migraines, in the absence of medication over use Planning to donate blood in the 1 year following inoculation with dengue Recent blood donation within prior 14 days of inoculation Receipt of blood products or antibodies within 56 days of inoculation or during the study period Planned travel during the study period (approximately 210 days for Cohorts 1 and 2 and approximately 91 days for Cohorts 3 and 4) which would interfere with the ability to complete all study visits Subjects with the following grade 2 or greater lab abnormalities: Creatinine; ALT, AST; Hemoglobin (females and males); WBC; Platelets; PT; PTT; Fibrinogen Any laboratory abnormalities prior to inoculation that are considered by the investigator to be clinically significant in addition those listed above Significant screening physical examination abnormalities or chronic medical condition that in the opinion of the investigator may impact subject safety Participation (active or follow-up phase) or planned participation in another vaccine, drug, or medical device in the 4 weeks prior to this trial or during the trial Recent or scheduled receipt of any vaccine 4 weeks prior to or after virus inoculation Beliefs that bar the administration of blood products or transfusions Clinician discretion
