Abstract:
Dengue is the human arbovirus with the highest morbidity and mortality in the world. The largest outbreak of dengue in Buenos Aires, Argentina, occurred during 2016.
Objective:
To describe clinical and hematological features in children with confirmed dengue infection.
Methods:
Cross sectional study that included children attended since January 18th to April 15th 2016 at Hospital de Niños "Dr. Ricardo Gutiérrez".
Results:
among 156 registered cases, 82 confirmed cases by virology test; 130 (83 %) autochthonous cases. The most frequent clinical manifestations were fever, headache and retro-ocular pain. Laboratory abnormalities were leukopenia, thrombocytopenia and increased liver enzymes. Thirty-five children were hospitalized (23 %), 25 (16 %) with warning signs. In our study, no cases of severe dengue occurred.
Conclusions:
