Description

Effect of the administration of dipyrone In patients with severe dengue

Dengue is a serious public health problem in tropical regions from low- and middle-income countries. This case control study aimed to identify demographic and clinical factors associated with mortality due to severe dengue in five departments in Colombia. The analysis included 58 cases and 121 controls and identified four factors: in-hospital administration of dipyrone and paracetamol, comorbidities and a prior visit to the hospital.
