Eighty-nine pediatric patients admitted at the University of Santo Tomas Hospital from June to December 1992, with the clinical diagnosis of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) were studied with the following objectives: To determine the possible use of hematocrit, platelet count, prothrombin time (PT) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) as predictors of bleeding and outcome in patient with DHF. The following were established: PTT can be an index in predicting bleeding of DHF. The tendency to bleed is greater with prolongation of 30 seconds; platelet count can be a predictor of mortality, with death six times greater among those platelet count 50,000/microliters than those platelet count was 50,000/microliters. PT can also predict bleeding in patients with DHF Subject Added Entry - Topical Term DENGUE HEMORRHAGIC FEVER   DENGUE SHOCK SYNDROME   HEMORRHAGIC DENGUE   HEMORRHAGIC FEVER, DENGUE   PHILIPPINE HEMORRHAGIC FEVER   SINGAPORE HEMORRHAGIC FEVER   THAI HEMORRHAGIC FEVER   DENGUE HEMORRHAGIC FEVER           Physical Location           Digital Copy Not Available          Add to Book Cart  |   Download MARC
