Association between Nutritional Status and Severity of Dengue Infection in Children in El Salvador

Abstract: * BAZ = body mass index-for-age Z-score; BMI = body mass index; DF = dengue fever; DHF = dengue hemorrhagic fever; HAZ = height-for-age Z-score; HC = healthy controls; IQR = interquartile range; WAZ = weight-for-age Z-score.† Assessed only in children under 120 months of age, DHF n = 44, DF n = 52, HC = 71.

“…A study in El Salvador also found no significant relationship between nutritional status and DHF severity. 16 Our patients got shock for the first time on days 4 and 5 fever, similar to previous studies. 2,6 The pathomechanism of DHF involves leukocyte migration on day 5, and increasing numbers of immature neutrophils.…”

“…[14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Earlier studies have, contradictorily, found that malnourished children are less likely to develop DHF/DSS compared with well-nourished children, but recent studies have not supported this finding. 21 Overall, the association between nutritional status and risk of DENV infection remains unclear. There is no evidence to suggest that nutritional status could interrupt transmission or alter susceptibility to infection after the bite of a dengue-infected mosquito; however, host nutritional status or micronutrient supplementation as adjuvant therapy could lower the probability of progressing from DENV infection to overt/severe forms of disease or reduce disease severity in patients.…”
