Abstract
This descriptive research study was carried out with the aim of assessing the accuracy of the World Health Organizationûs dengue hemorrhagic fever diagnostic criteria, as used in Nongbuadeang Hospital in 2005 and 2007. The verification was conducted by investigating 52 blood samples in 2005 and 15 samples in 2007 based on virology (RNA-PCR) and serology (ELISA). It was found that the diagnoses of dengue fever (DF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS) by using the WHO diagnostic criteria were 100 percent confirmed throughout, while the diagnosis of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) was 94.74 percent in 2005 and 95 percent in 2007, as confirmed by virological investigation with RNA-PCR and ELISA in 47 cases (90.38%) in 2005 and 13 cases (87.67%) in 2007. Thus, this study indicated that the WHO diagnostic criteria for DHF yield highly accurate results and make unnecessary any other means of confirming dengue viral infection.
