A retrospective study was conducted to investigate the risk factors in dengue cases admitted from 2005 to 2010 in Tawau Hospital, Sabah. A total of 732 cases admitted as suspected dengue were analysed and out of it 203 patients were found to be positive for dengue serology. Clinical and Laboratory data's were collected and analysed for the risk factors. In our observation over period of time we found APTT was raised in most of the DHF/DSS. So want to see the significance of APTT as a risk factor. Out of the risk factors APPT was significantly raised more than the other risk factors. Not many studies are available on APPT. Our outcome denote APPT along with raised Haematocrit is very useful in early anticipating shock. APTT may be considered as a one of the risk factor to formulate risk score in dengue DHF and DSS.
