Clinical characteristics and laboratory parameters in differentiating dengue from other acute febrile illnesses

Abstract Background Dengue infection is one of the most common viral infections globally, with a broad spectrum clinical manifestations, including hemorrhage and shock. Early diagnostic confirmation dengue essential, but some areas may not have appropriate tools while its symptoms are similar to other diseases. We aim determine significant characteristics laboratory parameters in differentiating from causes febrile. Results This study included 527 patients 268 control patients. Multivariate analysis showed older age (OR = 12.11; 95% 5.42–26.63, p < 0.001), absence diarrhea 0.12; CI 0.06–0.25, leukopenia 13.35; 4.99–38.71, thrombocytopenia 7.12; 2.37–21.38, normal ESR 3.03; 1.54–5.96, 0.001) excellence (AUC value 0.96) good fit model ( 0.8). The cut-off two variables sensitivity 91.4% specificity 87.5%. Conclusions Two or more signs can help clinicians differentiate acute febrile illnesses.
