INTRODUCTION: Dengue is an acute viral disease, transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito (Aedes aegypti), its global expansion implies a public health problem in two thirds of the world's population, children and young people are the most vulnerable group due to their developing immune system, a comparison of adults. In our country it is a topic of interest, being considered a priority disease, due to its high incidence and mortality. OBJECTIVE: Determine the clinical-epidemiological and laboratory factors associated with dengue with warning signs in pediatric patients at the Quillabamba-Cusco hospital, during 2020 - 2024. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present research work corresponds to an observational, non-experimental, retrospective case-control study. Data from 500 patients with dengue were analyzed, 131 with dengue with warning signs (cases) and 369 with dengue without warning signs (controls). RESULTS: The clinical findings revealed statistically significant associations between the presence of fever (OR: 5.70 [CI]:95%, 3.70-8.79, p< 0.001), abdominal pain (OR: 46.60, [CI]:95%, 26.28-82.62, p < 0.001), nausea and/or vomiting (OR: 48.75 [CI]:95% 26.10-91.07, p<0.001) and mucosal bleeding (OR:130 [CI]:95% 45.76-369.95). The main epidemiological findings showed a high prevalence among residents of the Santa Ana district (81.8%), however, no statistical relationship was found between age or sex, but statistically significant relationships were evident between the presence of comorbidities. with the presence of alarm signs (OR: 1.63 [CI]: 95% 0.70-3.78). Among the associated laboratory factors, there is a statistically significant relationship between the decrease in hemoglobin (OR: 1.38 [CI]: 95% 0.92-2.05), the increase in TGO (OR: 17.78 [CI]: 95% 9.05-34.93) and TGP increase (OR: 12.43 [CI]:95% 6.89-22.42), however, there is no statistically significant relationship between platelet variations and the presence of alarm signs (OR: 1.04 [CI]:95% 0.65-1.67). CONCLUSIONS: Clinical factors such as the presence of fever, abdominal pain, nausea and/or vomiting and the presence of mucosal bleeding showed statistically significant associations. Regarding epidemiological factors, no statistical relationship was found between the age or sex of the patient, however there is this statistical relationship between the origin and the diagnosis of dengue with warning signs. Among the associated laboratory factors, it was identified that there is a statistical relationship between the decrease in hemoglobin, the increase in TGO and TGP; however, this relationship was not found between platelet variations and the presence of alarm signs.
