PG - 152289 LID - S0171-2985(22)00115-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.imbio.2022.152289 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Severe dengue is associated with a considerable risk of mortality, and there is currently a lack of appropriate prognostic biomarkers to predict its severity. Pathogenesis of severe dengue is characterized by overt inflammation, endothelial activation, and increased vascular permeability. The current study investigates the utility of endothelial, inflammatory, and vascular permeability factors as biomarkers to identify dengue severity, which could improve disease prognosis and management. METHODS: The dengue-positive subjects were classified based on seropositivity for NS1, IgM, and IgG. The samples in each group were quantified for basic clinical investigations. The levels of Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1), EOTAXIN, Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), Monokine induced by interferon-gamma (MIG), Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), Thrombomodulin, and Angiopoietin-2 were estimated in all serum samples using the multiplex bead-based assay. RESULTS: IgG seropositive dengue patients showed abnormal laboratory characteristics and severe dengue symptoms. Among the studied markers, only IL-6, TNFR1, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, Thrombomodulin, and Angiopoietin-2 were significantly elevated in IgG seropositive patients compared to healthy controls. Increased IL-6 and TNFR1 levels were associated with decreased platelet count and elevated Hematocrit levels in IgG seropositive patients. Furthermore, ROC curve analysis indicated that IL-6, TNFR1, Thrombomodulin, and Angiopoietin-2 showed good potential for predicting dengue severity. CONCLUSION: Inflammatory markers IL-6 and TNFR1, and endothelial factors Angiopoietin-2 and Thrombomodulin, could serve as prognostic markers for severe dengue. These findings also encourage the future study of these biomarkers in the pathogenesis of severe dengue infection. CI - Copyright (c) 2022 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
