Viremia titers in serial plasma samples from 168 children with acute dengue virus infection who were enrolled in a prospective study at 2 hospitals in Thailand were examined to determine the role of virus load in the pathogenesis of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), The infecting virus serotype was identified for 165 patients (DEN-1, 46 patients; DEN-2, 47 patients; DEN-3, 47 patients, DEN-4, 25 patients), Patients with DEN-2 infections experienced more severe disease than those infected with other serotypes, Eighty-one percent of patients experienced a secondary dengue virus infection that was associated with more severe disease. Viremia titers were determined for 41 DEN-1 and 46 DEN-2 patients. Higher peak titers were associated with increased disease severity for the 31 patients with a peak titer identified (mean titer of 10(7.6) for those with dengue fever vs. 10(8.5) for patients with DHF, P = .01), Increased dengue disease severity correlated with high viremia titer, secondary dengue virus infection, and DEN-2 virus type.
