Abstract
Background: Dengue has a wide spectrum of clinical presentations, often with unpredictable clinical evolution and outcome. While most patients recover following a self-limiting nonsevere clinical course, small proportion progress to severe disease
 Methods: The hospital based study was conducted on patients presenting to tertiary care teaching hospital, who fulfilled inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled for the study. A comprehensive history taking, physical examination, and lab investigations were carried out and data were collected in pre-designed proforma.
 Results: According to complications, in dengue positive cases, bleeding was the most common complication seen in 48.00% cases while shock, myocarditis, and convulsion were present in 31.00%, 2.00% and 1.00% of cases respectively. Among the dengue negative cases, 60.00% had no complication while shock and bleeding were present in 28% and 12.00% cases respectively.
 Conclusion: It concluded that shock was most common complication.

Summary
Infection with the Dengue virus (DENV) is increasingly recognized as an important arthropod-borne viral infection infecting about 2.5 billion people worldwide; being endemic to over a 100 countries with over 975 million belonging to tropical and sub-tropical countries in Southeast Asia, the Pacific and the America. Dengue is the most important arthropod-borne viral infection of humans. 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. 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
