Dengue infections may affect the liver, causing inflammation and compromising its function.
To determine serum aminotransferases in patients with Dengue.
One hundred eighty four patients with Dengue confirmed with anti-Dengue IgG and IgM antibodies measured by ELISA, aged 1 month to 79 years, were studied. As controls, 40 patients with acute hepatitis B virus infection aged 11 to 59 years and 40 healthy individuals, aged 14 to 55 years, were also studied. Alanine and aspartate aminotransferases (ALT and AST) were determined using a colorimetric method.
Sixty one percent of patients with Dengue had elevated aminotransferase levels. In patients with Dengue and hepatitis B, mean ALT levels were 21.3+/-8.4 and 29.7+/-18.8 U/I, respectively. Mean AST values were 37.3+/-19, 19.6+/- 16.4 and 4.3+/-1.7 U/I in patients with Dengue, hepatitis B and controls, respectively. During the year 2001, there was an increase in the number of cases with hemorrhagic fever caused by Dengue and 65% had elevation of aminotransferases.
An increase in aminotransf erase levels is common in patients with Dengue.
登革热感染可能会影响肝脏,引发炎症并损害其功能。
测定登革热患者的血清转氨酶水平。
对184例经酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)确诊为抗登革热IgG和IgM抗体阳性、年龄在1个月至79岁之间的登革热患者进行了研究。作为对照,还研究了40例年龄在11至59岁之间的急性乙型肝炎病毒感染患者以及40例年龄在14至55岁之间的健康个体。采用比色法测定丙氨酸和天冬氨酸转氨酶(ALT和AST)水平。
61%的登革热患者转氨酶水平升高。登革热患者和乙型肝炎患者的平均ALT水平分别为21.3±8.4和29.7±18.8 U/I。登革热患者、乙型肝炎患者和对照组的平均AST值分别为37.3±19、19.6±16.4和4.3±1.7 U/I。2001年,登革热引起的出血热病例数有所增加,65%的患者转氨酶升高。
登革热患者转氨酶水平升高很常见。
