Gut Leakage' in Dengue (GLiD)
Gut Leakage and Sonographic Abdominal Changes in Hospitalized Dengue Patients: an Observational Study
Dengue infections are imposing an increasing global burden of disease, particularly in tropical countries such as Bangladesh. The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified Dengue virus as a priority pathogen for the development of medical counter measures because of the high risk of it causing a Public Health Emergency of Intenational Concern (PHEIC). Warning signs for severe dengue, associated with mortality, include gastrointestinal features including abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhoea. Multiple alterations may occur in in the gastrointestinal tract that could lead to damaging of the gastrointestinal wall and gut leakage, the translocation of gut metabolites into the bloodstream. Study team hypothesize that gut leakage initiates inflammatory processes underlying the further development of severe dengue, including features associated with plasma leakage.
This study aims to investigate intestinal barrier dysfunction (gut leakage) in dengue infection by detecting the translocation of gut-derived bacteria and their products (Lipopolysaccharides, LPS binding protein, sCD14, I-Fatty Acid Binding Protein) into the bloodstream. Study team will recruit hospitalized adult dengue patients (18 years and older) presenting with warning signs or severe disease in a tertiary care public hospital at Chattogram, Bangladesh. Circulating biomarkers indicative of gut permeability and microbial translocation will be measured to assess their presence and association with disease severity.
Abdominal ultrasonography will be performed to characterize gastrointestinal alterations and determine their correlation with biochemical markers of gut leakage and clinical severity. In addition, study team will analyze the gut bacteriome from stool/ rectal swab of these patients to explore whether dengue infection induces compositional changes in intestinal microbiota and whether such alterations are linked to gut leakage or disease progression.

Studiebefolkning
Adult (≥18 years) male and non-pregnant female patients with confirmed dengue (positive NS1 antigen and/or IgM) admitted to the Department of Medicine, Chittagong Medical College Hospital will be recruited. Blood biomarkers will be collected at enrollment for all patients. Those initially classified as non-severe dengue will have no repeat sampling unless they progress to severe disease, in which case a second sample will be obtained within 24 hours. Serum ALT and blood culture will be performed on day 7 of illness. Stool samples will be collected on day 7 from 100 patients for gut microbiota analysis.
Additionally, 10 healthy adult participants (5 male, 5 female) will be recruited from patient attendants. They will undergo a single visit for baseline biomarker sampling and POCUS, serving as healthy controls for comparison.

Severe dengue
All enrolled dengue patients will have blood biomarkers at enrolment whether they present with non-severe or severe dengue.
If participant enrolled as non-severe and do not progress to severe dengue, they will be no second test for biomarkers but if they developed clinical feature of severity, a second biomarker sample will be collected within 24 hours of developing clinical severity.
S ALT and Blood culture will be performed on day 7 of illness for all dengue patients.
Stool will be collected on day 7 of illness from 100 patients for testing gut microbiota.

Non-severe dengue

If participant enrolled as non-severe and do not progress to severe dengue, they will be no second test for biomarkers but if they developed clinical feature of severity, a second biomarker sample will be collected within 24 hours of developing clinical severity.

Healthy individual
These participants will undergo only one study visit for baseline biomarker sampling, baseline POCUS and will not undergo follow-up.
Their results will serve as healthy control reference values for comparison with biomarker findings in dengue patients.
