Biochemical Alterations as Markers of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever

Abstract: We evaluated biochemical alterations as predictors of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). Patients with confirmed infection with dengue virus were prospectively evaluated for the first seven days of disease to determine their final clinical outcome. Serum samples taken 48-96 hours after onset of fever were used for biochemical tests. Of 199 patients, 30 developed DHF. Cases of DHF had higher levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), and aspartate aminotransferase, and lower levels of albumin, to… Show more

“…By diverting certain lipids from their original fate, NS1 has the potential to interfere with the biogenesis of endogenous lipoprotein particles (51) or to deregulate the intracellular lipid-sensing machinery during entry into target cells (52,53). In line with our observations, several reports show that DENVinfected patients who developed DHF/DSS present a decrease of HDL and low-density lipoprotein content in plasma as well as altered levels of cholesterol and triglycerides (54)(55)(56). Moreover, the nutritional status of children seems to have an impact on the risk of developing fatal DHF/DSS (57, 58).…”

“…En la literatura científica hay reportes de niveles elevados de este marcador asociados con síntomas característicos de gravedad (6-9). Durante la infección por el virus del dengue, se genera una afección del miocito de los músculos estriados, lo que podría desencadenar la liberación de LDH (9,19). Otra manifestación frecuente en el dengue es el compromiso hepático, el cual también podría estar asociado con el incremento en los niveles de LDH (20,21 (9).…”

“…Con la albúmina se confirman los resultados de anteriores estudios en los que se afirma que tener niveles por debajo de 4 mg/dl incrementa el riesgo de dengue grave (9,10). La hipoalbuminemia es un indicador de extravasación plasmática.…”

“…Alternatively, plasma leakage can also be seen from laboratory tests for hypoalbuminemia. (10) Regrettably, in daily practice hematocrit baseline values are not readily available and calculation of the degree hematocrit elevation is difficult. Furthermore, baseline hematocrit level may also be affected by conditions such as anemia, which can lead to a misleading diagnosis and inadequate therapy.…”
