Abstract

Nine children; 4 males and 5 females, aged ranging from 2 1/2 to 13 years presented with signs and symptoms of poor tissue perfusion associated with dengue shock syndrome. All these 9 patients were subjected to the therapeutic trial of high dose methyl prednisolone (MP; 9/9) and mannitol (M; 6/9) after their failure to the saline and plasma replacement. Following the high dose MP and M, a significant increment in the effective circulatory blood volume as reflected by the sustained increment in CVP, widening of PP and declining in PR as well as improvement in clinical tissue perfusion were established in 7 of these nine patients so treated.
