Utility of C-Reactive Protein Levels for Early Prediction of Dengue Severity in Adults

Table 2

CRP level distributions by the 1997 World Health Organization dengue classification.

	DF ()	Nonshock; DHF ()	DSS ()
Median CRP (range), mg/L	8.5 (0.7–215.5)	15.2 (0.5–139)	124.5 (1.2–205.5)	0.024	<0.001	<0.001	0.011

CRP = C-reactive protein; DF = dengue fever; DHF = dengue hemorrhagic fever; DSS = dengue shock syndrome.
¹DF versus nonshock DHF.
²DF versus DSS.
³Nonshock DHF versus DSS.
⁴DF/nonshock DHF versus DSS.
