Role of Serum Transaminases in Dengue Fever
نویسنده
چکیده
Dengue fever is an arboviral infection with the largest incidence worldwide, transmitted by Aedes aegypti. The aim of the study is to study the role of serum transaminases on dengue fever. The serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminases (SGOT) and serum glutamic pyruvic transaminases (SGPT) were estimated by enzymatic (kinetic) methods for 50 dengue positive cases. Overall, 80% of dengue fever cases of this study showed increased values of serum transaminases. This study suggested that most of the dengue fever cases had elevated serum transaminases reflecting early liver damage. Early alterations of biochemical markers can predict dengue fever in patients with acute fever caused by dengue.

Background: Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease that has rapidly spread in all regions in recent years. There is little information on dengue fever epidemiology in Iran. High prevalence of dengue fever in Pakistan bordering southeast Iran emphasizes the need for paying more attention to monitoring of the disease in this region. The aim of this study was to study the dengue...
