Form of the disease and dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF), the severe form which was further divided into four grades
The purpose of our study was to access the role of ultrasonographic features of thorax and abdomen in diagnosis and early prediction of severity of dengue fever
Summary
The diagnosis of Dengue fever is often delayed owing to time taken for availability of serology test results. Aim of the study was to access the role of ultrasonographic features of thorax and abdomen in diagnosis and early prediction of severity of dengue fever. Ascites, pleural effusion, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly and perinephric edema were present in 67 (79.76%), 52 (61.9%), 43 (51.19%), 51 (60.71%), 27 (32.14%) and 14 (16.66%) in all dengue fever group while 25 (100%), 25 (100%), 21 (84%), 15 (60%), (40%), and (44%) in severe dengue group respectively. All sonographic features had more significant association with severe dengue group (p
