Correlation of serum transaminases with dengue serology
Abstract
Aim: Clinical correlation of dengue serology with serum transaminases
Introduction: Dengue, caused by dengue virus, spread by AEDES genus mosquito, is one of the most significant arthropod borne disease. In severe and less severe forms dengue may affect liver enzymes. The goal of this research was to examine and compare dengue serology with serum transaminases.
Methodology: The study comprised of 109 cases for which informed consent was taken and the patients were monitored throughout their hospital stay. Dengue antibody detection was used to confirm dengue infection and serum transaminases were monitored.
Conclusion: All types of dengue infection frequently result in elevated transaminases values with SGOT rising much more thn SGPT. Patients with NS1 antibody + dengue, have significantly higher serum transaminases levels. Also, high SGOT and SGPT values may be a poor prognostic indication and an early sign of dengue infection.
