Cardiac Involvement in Dengue Fever

چکیده
Sri Lanka experienced a dramatic increase in dengue cases (15,400) in the 2004 2005 season. We carried out a prospective study to investigate cardiac involvement in dengue virus infected patients during the 2004 2005 season in Peradeniya, Central Province, Sri Lanka. Cardiac involvement was defined as elevated levels of myoglobin, creatine kinase-muscle brain-type, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, heart-type fatty acid-binding protein and troponin T. Twenty-five percent of dengue virus infected patients had one or more of the above tests with abnormal results.
