Unveiling the Dual Threat : Myocarditis in the Spectrum of Dengue Fever

Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

This meta-analysis aims to systematically review and analyze available studies on the association between myocarditis and dengue viral fever. A comprehensive literature search was carried out using several databases. Mantel-Haenszel odds ratios and associated 95% confidence intervals were produced to report the overall effect size using random effect models. Besides, random effects models were used to calculate the overall pooled prevalence. Data from 26 articles (6622 dengue patients) showed that pooled estimate of myocarditis in dengue fever was 12.4% (95% CI, 8.41-17.08). Higher prevalence was seen in reports from Asia (15.2%) compared to that from Latin America (3.6%). Besides, the pooled prevalence of severity and mortality was 34% (95% CI, 20.49-49.04) and 26.44% (95% CI, 18.07-35.78) respectively. Significantly higher prevalence rates of severe disease in the pediatric population (52.4%) and studies with a higher percentage of females (52.1%) were also observed. However, higher mortality rates were seen in the adult population (34.8%) compared with the pediatric age group. Further, myocarditis in dengue patients was associated with increased risk of severity (RR = 2.44, 95% CI 1.007-5.93, P = 0.048) and mortality (RR = 19.41, 95% CI 7.19-52.38, P < 0.001) compared with dengue patients without myocarditis. No significant publication bias was evident in the meta-analysis. The findings highlight the clinical significance of early identification and management of myocarditis in patients with dengue fever.
