Abstract EN
Purpose.
The clinical features and laboratory results of dengue-infected adult patients admitted to the hospital during the 2017 outbreak were analyzed in this study.
Method.
This is a cross-sectional study.
2922 patients aged 18 years or more with dengue fever in National Hospital for Tropical Diseases (NHTD) in the North and Hospital for Tropical Disease (HTD) in the South of Vietnam were recruited in this study.
Result.
Patients were admitted in the hospital around the year and concentrated from August to December, in 53/63 (84.0%) provinces in Vietnam, and patients in all ages were affected.
The number of patients with dengue fever was 1675 (57.3%), dengue with warning signs 914 (31.3%), and severe dengue 333 (11.4%), respectively.
Among patients with severe dengue, severe plasma leakage and dengue shock account for 238 (8.1%), severe organ impairment 73 (2.5%), and severe bleeding 22 (0.75%).
The rate of mortality was 0.8%, and the outcome of dengue patients is worse in the elderly and people with underlying diseases.
Conclusion.
The 2017 dengue outbreak occurred in a larger scale than in the previous years in terms of time, location, and number of patients.
More elderly patients were infected by dengue in this outbreak, and this may contribute to the mortality rate.
Clinical manifestations of dengue patients in Southern Vietnam are more typical than the northern, but the rate of severe dengue is not different.
The mortality risk and underlying conditions associated with dengue-infected elderly patients are worthy of further investigations in the future.
