Objective:
We had for aim to describe the epidemiological, clinical, biological, and outcome features of dengue fever in Abidjan, in 2010.
Patients And Methods:
We retrospectively studied the files of patients hospitalized for dengue fever in 2010, in Abidjan. The diagnosis was made on clinical symptoms and positive dengue PCR and/or IgM.
Results:
Seven patients were included (5 men, 2 women, median age of 51years [31-65years]). They presented with a febrile pain syndrome (n=7), jaundice (n=3), rash (n=2), and hematemesis complicated by thrombocytopenia (n=6) and leukopenia (n=5). Three patients had a positive IgM serology and 4 had a positive dengue PCR for DENV-3. The outcome was favorable for 6 patients, and 1 patient died of severe hemorrhage.
Conclusion:
The authors advocate the implementation of epidemiological surveillance of dengue and vector control in the Ivory Coast.
