GPT and dengue disease: Regarding laboratory parameters (Table 2 and S2 Table), patients with dengue shock and/or organ failure had significantly higher hemoglobin concentrations (p = 0.045), increased hematocrit values above baseline (p <0.001), higher WBC counts (p = 0.044), higher absolute bands (p = 0.022), higher absolute atypical lymphocyte counts (p = 0.007), higher AST levels (p <0.001), higher ALT levels (p <0.001), higher PCT levels (p = 0.001), and higher PVL levels (p <0.001) (Fig 2).
