Abstract
Dengue infection is endemic among children in Cambodia. Few studies have described the clinical characteristics, diagnoses and the socioeconomic impact of hospitalized dengue cases. As part of a multicountry prospective dengue study, we analysed interviews and record reviews of 123 consecutive cases of children hospitalized with confirmed dengue in a major public provincial hospital. About 80% of cases evidenced plasma leak. On average, a hospitalized dengue case lasted 6.3 days, with 3.3 days of inpatient care, and cost US$116 (‎Singapore dollar 48)‎. The majority (‎88%)‎ of these cases’ households reported a substantial adverse economic impact, perhaps explained by their inability to afford medical care (‎39%)‎, or on account of loss of five or more days of income (‎91%)‎, need to borrow money beyond family or friends (‎39%)‎, being compelled to sell or sale of property (‎53%)‎ to pay for treatment. Hospitalized dengue has major clinical and socioeconomic consequences in Cambodia.
