Clinical Profile, Liver Dysfunction and Outcome of Dengue Infection in Children: A Prospective Observational Study.

Background: Liver involvement in dengue illness is common and can lead to acute liver failure (ALF). No single method can effectively identify patients at risk for disease progression and bad outcome. We aimed to determine the relationship between liver dysfunction, kinetics of liver function tests (LFTs) and severity of hepatitis on the outcome in pediatric dengue illness.
