Platelet activating factor contributes to vascular leak in acute dengue infection.
- Abstract:
-
Background
Although plasma leakage is the hallmark of severe dengue infections, the factors that cause increased vascular permeability have not been identified. As platelet activating factor (PAF) is associated with an increase in vascular permeability in other diseases, we set out to investigate its role in acute dengue infection.
Materials and Methods
PAF levels were initially assessed in 25 patients with acute dengue infection to determine if they were increased...
