AIM: Dengue fever (DF), carried by Aedes mosquitoes, affects millions worldwide. Platelet-inducing human IL-11 analogues may be effective in treating DF-associated thrombocytopenia.
METHODOLOGY: A prospective study was done at Dr. Ziauddin Hospital, a tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan, from September 2023 to April 30, 2024.
RESULTS: This study recruited 300 DF patients characterized by thrombocytopenia (platelet count < 30,000), including 159 in the treatment and 141 in the control group. The median age of patients was 34 ± 11.05 years, with 187 males (62.3%) and 113 females (37.7%). The treatment group had a higher proportion of fever (80%, p < 0.0001) and headache (96%, p = 0.012) compared to the control group; however, no significant changes were observed in other clinical parameters between the two groups. Following treatment for 5 days, platelet counts of the treatment group increased significantly in response to IL-11 treatment compared to the control group at all time intervals (day 0, day 1, day 2, day 3, day 4, and day 5). Following treatment, males consistently exhibited higher platelet counts than females (all p < 0.05). In addition, patients admitted on day 3 of their course of illness showed a significantly slow response to the treatment compared to those admitted on day 5. Although young individuals exhibited a significant increase in platelet count, the age showed no significant intergroup differences.
CONCLUSIONS: IL-11 analogs have promising potential for treating DF-associated thrombocytopenia. Additional investigation is necessary to refine administration protocols and examine the wider therapeutic ramifications of IL-11 in managing DF.
