Comparison of Clinical and Laboratory Parameters between Chickungunya and Dengue: Are Liver Enzymes Reliable Indicators in These Infections?
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Dengue and chikungunya are vector borne diseases sharing not only the season of epidemic but also the clinical features. At times diagnosis is at stake owing to unavailability of specific test and targeted treatment is different for the two diseases as long duration is required in definitive testing. It is important to differentiate between them during their first presentation with routinely available diagnostic tests with shorter turnaround time. The need becomes more in case of dengue in view of possible complications such as dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome.
