Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify, the early indicators of hemorrhage in severe dengue infections in 114 patients; 24 patients had severe hemorrhage and 92 had no hemorrhage. The platelet counts v,,ere not predictive of bleeding. The duration of shock (OR, 2.11; 95% CI, 1.13 to 3.92; P =.019) and low-normal hematocrit at the time of shock (OR, 0.72; 95% Cl, 0.55 to 0.95; P =.020) were risk factors of severe hemorrhage.
