Clinical diagnosis	DF	DHF	OFI
Number of cases	264	150	599
Age –years (mean±SE)	8·31 (0·18)	8·73 (0·25)	6·72 (0·12)^*
Male/Female	152/112	80/70	322/277
Fever duration at presentation (mean ± SE)	1·9 (0·1) ^‡	2·1 (0·1)	1·7 (0·0)
Duration of fever after study entry (d) (mean± SE)	2·4(0·1)	2·4 (0·1)	1·9 (0·5)
Cases who received fluid intervention (case %)	40 (15%)	85 (57%)	73 (12%)

Note - Average age of patients with OFI was lower than patients with dengue infection

(p<0·05). Mean durations of fever at presentation were greater in DHF group compared with DF and OFI groups

^‡

(P < 0·001). DF, dengue fever; DHF, dengue hemorrhagic fever; OFI, other febrile illness.
