Dengue with Bradycardia: Clinical Predictors and Prognostic Significance

The severity of dengue ranges from mild illness to Dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF)& dengue shock syndrome (DSS). Early assessment of severity& appropriate management is essential in reducing mortality. The severity of dengue is assessed by narrow pulse pressure, thrombocytopenia& haemoconcentration. Relative& absolute bradycardia have been reported in dengue. Our study aims to find the demographic& clinical features which correlate with bradycardia in dengue& whether bradycardia is a marker of disease severity.
