Dengue-an infectious disease of staggering proportions

摘要

Lesions compatible with alcohol intake were detected in 54/62 patients (87%): 46 steatosis, 3 megamitochon-dries, 2 Mallory bodies, 41 polymorphonuclear, 42 perivessel fibrosis, and 28 siderosis. Patients with LCAI in = 54) demonstrated higher gamma-GT levels than those without (n = 8): 72 ± 51 vs. 34 ± 33 U/L, respectively (P < 0.05). No differences were found regarding viraemia (1 024 629 ± 916 092 vs. 748 750 ± 415 982 IU/mL, respectively; P = 0.4), AST (74 ± 47 vs. 63 ± 71 U/L, respectively; P = 0.5) or ALT (124 ± 93 vs. n 121 ± 133 U/L, respectively; P = 0.9). Patients with LCAI showed more advanced fibrosis (F3-F4), not reaching statistical significance (37% vs. 25%; P = 0.7).
