Predictors for dengue outcome

摘要

The recent report on “Timing, predictors, and progress of third space fluid accumulation during preliminary phase fluid resuscitation in adult patients with dengue” is very interesting.1 Premaratna et al. concluded that “Clinicians should be aware of the limitations of currently recommended predictors of DHF in adult patients who are receiving fluid resuscitation”.1 I would like to share experience on this topic. According to a previous study from Thailand, it appears that the clinical presentation is useless for predicting progression and the outcome of dengue infection.
