Table 1 Characteristics of patients with dengue fever (DF) and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), including dengue shock syndrome (DSS)

  1. 1DDF: day of defervescence from the onset of the illness
  2. 2The hematocrit is not significantly different due to aggressive intravenous hydration when the patients were admitted. Hydration affects the hematocrit values. The degree of intravenous hydration depends whether the patient has DF or DHF/DSS.
