الملخص
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.الإستشهاد
