Key result
Dengue infection was associated with a pooled global prevalence of myocarditis of 24.0% (95% CI, 11-36%) among laboratory-confirmed cases.
Why the study?
Severe dengue can lead to fatal complications such as myocarditis, but there is a paucity of data on the prevalence of dengue-associated myocarditis.
Population
2795 laboratory-confirmed dengue patients across 12 studies
Design
Systematic review and meta-analysis

Effect estimate: Pooled prevalence 24.0% (95% CI 11-36)
Dengue-associated myocarditis is a significant complication with a pooled prevalence of 24.0% among laboratory-confirmed dengue patients, highlighting the need for early detection and monitoring.
Sandeep et al. (2023) conducted a meta-analysis in Dengue fever (n=2,795). Dengue infection was evaluated on Global prevalence of dengue-associated myocarditis (Pooled prevalence 24.0%, 95% CI 11-36). Dengue infection was associated with a pooled global prevalence of myocarditis of 24.0% (95% CI, 11-36%) among laboratory-confirmed cases.
