To predict pediatric dengue infection severity based on initial patient characteristics and routine clinical profiles.
Methods
Retrospective data of children with dengue infection from a hospital in Jakarta were reviewed. Dengue infection
was categorized into 2 severity levels: mild dengue (dengue fever, dengue hemorrhagic fever [DHF] grade I and
grade II) and severe dengue (DHF grade III and IV). Clinical profiles at the time of patient presentation were
extracted and analyzed in relationship with dengue severity.
Result
Data collected was 110 patients with mean age 9.5 years old, 56% was male and 44% was female. The most
common additional symptoms were vomiting (83%), abdominal pain (66%), and headache (55%). Mild dengue
infection was 69% of cases and severe dengue infection was 31% of cases. Initial clinical profiles that
significantly related to severe dengue are: age ≤6 years old (OR 2.657, p .039), hepatomegaly (OR 2.643, p .
035), pleural effusion (OR 9.545, p .000), platelet ≤50,000/uL (OR .317, p .018), and AST >135 u/L (OR 5.112,
p.014). Gender, duration of fever, additional symptoms, spontaneous bleeding, blood pressure, pulse pressure,
hematocrit, leucocyte, random blood glucose, calcium, and ALT were not related significantly to dengue
severity.
Conclusion
Some clinical profiles at the time of patient presentation could be a clue for severe dengue. Physician should be
cautious in pediatric dengue patients presented in age younger than 6 years old, with hepatomegaly and/or
pleural effusion, platelet below 50,000/uL, and AST more than three times upper normal limit. These patients
have higher risk of severe dengue than patients without those findings.
