Gallbladder edema in Dengue hemorrhagic fever and its association with haematocrit levels and type of infections.

Aim: To determine gallbladder edema with type of Dengue infection and hematocrit level.

Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 225 cases of DHF admitted from January to December 1997 to determine the association between the type of Dengue infection, hemoconcentration and the presence or absence of gallbladder edema.
