Gene expression of CAT, MnSOD and GPx in all the study groups at the day of admission and day of defervescence. The amount of mRNA of each tested gene was measured by qPCR assay and expressed as relative copy number (RCN) with median and interquartile range. *** p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05 when compared to controls. DOA day of admission; DOD day of defervescence, CTRL controls, OFI other febrile illness, ADC all dengue cases; NSD non-severe dengue, SD severe dengue, PDC primary dengue cases, SDC secondary dengue cases. DOA: CTRL (n = 63), OFI (n = 31), ADC (n = 88), NSD (n = 56), SD (n = 32), PDC (n = 29), SDC (n = 59). DOD: CTRL (n = 63), OFI (n = 13), NSD (n = 22), SD (n = 16), ADC (n = 38), PDC (n = 9), SDC (n = 29). Statstics : Kruskal–Wallis test
