1996年在德里发生了一次登革出血热流行。对一家医院收治的240名年龄在4个月至13岁之间的男女儿童进行了评估。216名(90%)儿童来自德里。临床诊断为登革热(DF) 25例(10%),登革热伴异常出血(DFB) 22例(9%),登革出血热80例(33%),登革休克综合征113例(47%)。年龄在8岁时达到顶峰。不同的疾病严重程度和年龄组之间没有联系,尽管女孩的疾病更严重。没有观察到营养不良严重程度和疾病严重程度之间的联系。止血带试验阳性率DF为40%,DFB为18%,DHF为62%,DSS为64%。在DSS患者中,呕血55例(49%),鼻出血39例(35%),黑黑1例(50%)。27例(24%),瘀斑34例(30%)。诊断为DFB的儿童分别有12例(55%)和10例(45%)出现呕血和鼻出血。DFB患者静脉液体需要量明显低于DHF/DSS患者。7例(6%)患者表现为黄疸,6例(5%)患者表现为肝性脑病,6例(5%)患者表现为登革热脑病。对50例白纹伊蚊C6/36克隆细胞系进行病毒培养的患者中,有10例分离到登革2型病毒。18例DSS患者死亡,总病死率为7.5%。DHF/DSS病死率为9.3%。这进一步表明,DFB是一个独特的实体。如果使用回顾性堆积细胞体积来评估血浓度,大多数患者可以按照世卫组织的分类进行分类。我们建议制定特定区域的诊断和管理标准是可取的。
An epidemic of dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) occurred in Delhi in 1996. A total of 240 children between the age of 4 months to 13 years of either sex, admitted in one hospital, were evaluated. Two hundred arid sixteen (90%) children were from Delhi. A clinical diagnosis of dengue fever (DF) was made in 25 (10%), dengue fever with unusual bleeding (DFB) in 22 (9%), DHF in 80 (33%) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS) in 113 (47%) of the children strictly according to the WHO classification. The age peaked at 8 years. There was no association between various grades of severity of illness and age-groups though girls suffered from more severe illness. No association between severity of malnutrition and severity of illness was observed. Tourniquet test was positive in 40% with DF, 18% with DFB, 62% with DHF and 64% with DSS. In DSS haematemesis was present in 55 (49%), epistaxis in 39 (35%), melaena in. 27 (24%) and ecchymosis in 34 (30%) patients. Children diagnosed as DFB had haematemesis and epistaxis in 12 (55%) and 10 (45%) respectively. Intravenous fluid requirement was clearly less in DFB patients than in DHF/DSS patients. Unusual clinical features in the form of jaundice were present in 7 (6%), hepatic encephalopathy in 6 (5%) and dengue encephalopathy in 6 (5%) patients. Dengue 2 virus was isolated from 10 of the 50 patients for whom viral culture was done on C6/36 clone of Aedes albopictus cell line. Eighteen patients suffering from DSS died giving an overall case fatality of 7.5%. The mortality rate in DHF/DSS was 9.3%. It is further suggested that DFB is a distinct entity. Most patients could be classified by the WHO classification if a retrospective packed cell volume was used to assess haemoconcentration. We suggest that development of area-specific criteria for diagnosis and management is desirable.
