Article Synopsis
- The study assesses the effectiveness of the 2009 WHO dengue classification system for identifying cases needing intervention during a dengue outbreak in Paraguay.
- Out of 123 children admitted, 97% were classified as needing intervention using the 2009 criteria, compared to only 54% with the 1997 criteria.
- The findings indicate that the 2009 system is more accurate in detecting severe dengue cases, with a significant increase in identified severe cases compared to the previous classification.
