Daftar Isi:
- Dengue shock syndrome (DSS) was the major cause of mortality in dengue infection. The risk factor of DSS that most studied was viral strain, genetic predisposition, secondary infection, overweight, and age 5-9 years old. The aim of this study is to identify AB blood group as risk factor of DSS in children along with secondary infection, overweight, and age 5-9 years old factors. Cross sectional study with consecutive sampling was performed in children aged one month until 14 years old children with dengue fever (DF), dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), or DSS according to 2005 WHO criteria. Blood type was examined by slide test method. Risk factor was analyzed by chi square test (X2) and logistic regression. Based on chi square test (X2), AB blood group is risk factor for DSS (PR 2.306; 95% CI 1.147-4.634; p=0.044). Based on logistic regression analysis, only AB blood group is risk factor of DSS, meanwhile secondary infection, overweight, and age 5-9 years old are not risk factor of DSS. This study conclude that AB blood group is risk factor for DSS in children even along with secondary infection, overweight, and age 5-9 years old factors.Keywords: dengue shock syndrome, AB blood group, risk factor
