Implication

Systematic review reports severe dengue occurring in immunocompromised individuals, highlighting high mortality rates.

Key Points

  • Severe dengue cases and mortality are notably higher in immunocompromised populations like HSCT patients.
  • Dengue frequency among immunocompromised individuals ranged from 0.3% to 6.3%, based on 1182 cases evaluated.
  • The systematic review included 85 studies, with a significant number demonstrating high risk of bias in findings.
  • Post-transplant patients have unique dengue presentations, with 5.6% linked to donor transmission, indicating specific health risks.
