Demographic and clinical characteristics and hematologic alterations in adult patients with dengue fever
Keywords:
DENGUE, COMPLICATIONS, BLOOD PLATELETS, PLATELET COUNT.Abstract
Introduction: Dengue is an infectious, systemic and dynamic disease, in which there are alterations in hematological variables which can result in severe complications of the disease. In Pinar del Río, in spite of the high incidence of this arbovirosis, there are few reports of the hematological alterations that occur in this disease.
Objective: To describe the main demographic and clinical characteristics and hematological alterations in patients with dengue fever from the Raúl Sánchez health area admitted to the León Cuervo Rubio Teaching and Surgical Clinical Hospital in Pinar del Río province in 2019.
Methods: An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out, which included 141 patients. The information was obtained from medical records and databases of the statistical departments. Descriptive statistics of absolute and relative frequencies were applied to the data obtained.
Results: Hospitalization for dengue fever was more frequent in patients between 41 and 50 years of age (26,2 %), men (54,6 %) and white-skinned (85,1 %). The most prevalent symptom was fever (92,2%) and complications were effusion (19,1 %) and bleeding (18,4 %). 59,6 % of patients with dengue fever presented hematological alterations, more frequent in patients over 50 years of age (31,2 %) and white skin. Leukopenia predominated (39,6 %), followed by hemoconcentration (19,9 %) and thrombocytopenia (15,6 %).
Conclusions: Dengue presented demographic and clinical characteristics similar to national and international reports, and hematologic alterations were found in more than half of the patients included in the study.
