Dengue, a mosquito-borne viral disease, presents a significant public health threat, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. This study aims to assess the correlation between elevated serum aminotransferases and dengue severity, focusing on patients at a tertiary care center. The liver is affected to varying degrees in dengue patients, from asymptomatic enzyme elevation to severe hepatitis. The study found that elevated SGOT levels correlate with more severe symptoms, including prolonged fever, abdominal pain, and bleeding manifestations.
