To determine clinical course and outcomes of liver functions in children with dengue viral infection-caused acute liver failure (ALF), the records of patients aged <15 years attending our institution during 1989-2011 were reviewed. Of the 41 ALF patients, 2, 6 and 33 patients had dengue hemorrhagic fever grade II, III and IV, respectively. Multiorgan failure including respiratory failure, massive bleeding and acute kidney injury occurred in 80.0%, 96.0% and 84.0% of the ALF cases, respectively, with an overall fatality rate of 68.3%. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels were highest on the day that the patient developed ALF. Lactate dehydrogenase levels had positive correlations with AST (r = 0.95) and ALT (r = 0.87) (all p < 0.01). The median (interquartile range) days before the AST and ALT levels returned to lower than 200 U/L after the ALF were 10.5 (8.8, 12.8) and 10.5 (7.8, 14.0) days, respectively.
为了确定登革病毒感染所致急性肝衰竭(ALF)患儿的肝功能临床病程及转归,我们回顾了1989年至2011年期间在我院就诊的15岁以下患者的记录。在41例ALF患者中,分别有2例、6例和33例患有II级、III级和IV级登革出血热。多器官功能衰竭,包括呼吸衰竭、大出血和急性肾损伤,分别发生在80.0%、96.0%和84.0%的ALF病例中,总病死率为68.3%。天冬氨酸转氨酶(AST)和丙氨酸转氨酶(ALT)水平在患者发生ALF当天最高。乳酸脱氢酶水平与AST(r = 0.95)和ALT(r = 0.87)呈正相关(所有p < 0.01)。ALF后AST和ALT水平恢复至低于200 U/L之前的中位(四分位间距)天数分别为10.5(8.8,12.8)天和10.5(7.8,14.0)天。
