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. Early recognition of dengue is challenging because the initial symptoms are often non-specific.
Methods: The hospital based study was conducted on patients presenting to paediatric hospital, who fulfilled inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Results: According to complications, in dengue positive cases, bleeding was the most common complication seen in 51.00% cases while shock, myocarditis, and convulsion were present in 34.00%, 3.00% and 1.00% of cases respectively. Among the dengue negative cases, 63.00% had no complication while shock and bleeding were present in 23.00% and 14.00% cases respectively.
Conclusion: It concluded that shock was most common complication.
