The majority of these instances have been documented in Southeast Asian locations, which are popular tourist destinations. Aim: To assess the severity and outcome of acute hepatitis in patients presenting with dengue fever. Methodology: The study included all patients under the age of 14 who were hospitalized with a diagnosis of Dengue Fever (DF), Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF), or Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS). The Chi-Square test and, when appropriate, the Fischer exact test were employed to compare categorical variables. For the primary outcome, a survival analysis (Cox regression and log-rank) was performed. To compare continuous variables, the student test was utilized. Significance was defined as a p-value of less than or equal to 0.05. Cross-sectional study. This study was conducted at Suleman Roshan Medical College Hospital Tando Adam Pakistan from January 2020 to January 2021. Results: Total 500 cases were included in the study, with 87 % (435) having DF and 13% (65) having DHFs or DSS. The median ALT was 87.91 IU/L; IQR 42.78-181 IU/L, the median AST was 179 IU/L; IQR 85-369.3 IU/L, and the median T.Bil was 0.8 mg/dl; IQR 0.6-1.3 mg/dl, according to liver function tests. A total 71 % (355) of the patients had mild to moderate hepatitis, whereas 15 % (75) had severe hepatitis. In patients with mild/moderate hepatitis, the average length of stay (LOS) was 3.63 days, compared to 4.3 days in those with severe hepatitis (P-value 0.002). Overall mortality in the mild/moderate hepatitis group was 36.84% (n = 7) compared to 63.15% (n = 12) in the severe hepatitis group (p-value 0.001). The severe hepatitis group (H.R (4.91; 95 % CI 1.74-13.87 and P-value 0.003), as well as the DHF/DSS group, had substantially increased mortality (H.R (5.43; CI 1.86-15.84 and P-value 0.002). In the mild/moderate and severe hepatitis groups, there was a substantial difference in sequelae such as bleeding (P-value 0.001), Acute Renal Failure (ARF) (P value 0.002), Acalculus cholecystitis (P-value 0.04), and encephalopathy (P-value 0.02). Conclusion: In Dengue fever, severe hepatitis (ALT__ampersandsigngt;300IU) is linked to a longer length of hospital stay, mortality, hemorrhage, and renal failure. Apart from typical hepatotropic viruses, dengue fever should be evaluated when liver tests are abnormal.&#13;
