DHF was commonly found in patients whose ages ranged from 10 to 14 years. The mean body weight was at the 54th percentile for age. In the management, 10.6% of patients with DHF required blood component therapy which included platelet concentrate (64.7%) in patients who exhibited active bleeding, packed red cells (47%) in patients who exhibited a rapid drop in the hematocrit and fresh frozen plasma (29.4%) in patients with circulatory failure who did not respond to intravenous fluid.
