Profile of Nutritional Status, Hemoglobin, Leukocytes, Platelets, Hematocrit, Albumin Level and Serology Test in Children with Dengue Viral Infection in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital

Abstract

Background: Dengue Viral Infection (DVI) that affects the host cause hemobiochemical and immunological changes. This research aims to study profile of nutritional status, hemoglobin, leukocytes, platelets, hematocrit, albumin level and serology test in children with DVI in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital 2015. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study has conducted by using data from medical records on patients that fulfilled the criteria. Results: There were 74 cases, consisting of patients with DF (33.78%), DHF I (27.03%), DHF II (4.05%), DHF III (25.68%), and DHF IV (9.46%), that dominated by 6-12 years of age (48.65%), boys (58.11%), and patients with normal nutritional status (50%). Girls and boys are mostly with normal nutritional status (32.26%, 62.79%) and dominated by DF (14.86%, 28.92%). Over- nutrition patients in DF, DHF without shock and DHF with shock are 12.5%, 33.33%, and 54.17%. DF and DHF IV are dominated by patients with <6 years old (17.57%, 8.11%). DHF I, DHF II, and DHF III are dominated by 6-12 years-old-child (14.86%, 2.70, 16.22%). It showed an increase in Hb levels from DF to DHF; 38 of 74 DVI patients had leukopenia; the lower Plt level the higher the DVI stage; Hct increase in DHF patients; albumins relatively low in DHF; Primary infection is more prevalent in DF, whereas secondary infection is more prevalent in DHF with shock; there is a difference between over-nutrition on the stages of DVI in patients in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya 2015.
