Abstract
We compared 53 patients with dengue shock syndrome (DSS) who received preventive transfusions with 53 who did not. Significant differences in the development of pulmonary edema and length of hospitalization (P < .05) and none in hemorrhage (P = .136) were observed. Preventive transfusions did not produce sustained improvements in the coagulation status in DSS.
