Clinical Profile of Dengue Infection in Immune-compromised Children.

Review of records of children admitted with dengue infection was carried out to compare clinical and laboratory parameters, course of illness, and outcome between immune-compromised and immune-competent patients. Statistically significant differences were found in days to platelet recovery (P=0.03), hepatic dysfunction (P= 0.04), and higher requirement of fluid (P= 0.01) in immune-compromised group.
