Abstract

Background: Dengue has a wide spectrum of clinical presentations, often with unpredictable clinical evolution and outcome. To study the complication of dengue like illness in children Methods: The hospital based study was conducted on patients presenting to paediatric hospital, who fulfilled inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: According to complications, in dengue positive cases, bleeding was the most common complication seen in 51.00% cases while shock, myocarditis, and convulsion were present in 34.00%, 3.00% and 1.00% of cases respectively. Conclusion: It concluded that dengue hemorrhagic shock was most common complication. Keywords: Dengue Like Illness, Complication, Shock.

Summary

Introduction

Dengue has a wide spectrum of clinical presentations, often with unpredictable clinical evolution and outcome[1,2]. It is very important to be able to predict which patients are more likely to land up in complications. Such early prediction of adverse outcome and early detection of danger signs can help in reducing mortality and morbidity. Predictors will help in monitoring the therapy and the course of illness in denguelike illnesses.[3] Since there is a paucity of literature on this, and there exist many gaps in the current understanding of such predictive factors, this study is being planned to assess history, examination,and investigation based predictive factors for complications of dengue-like illnesses
