The identification of the clinical-epidemiological and laboratory characteristics are of great importance, allowing to identify the development of severe forms. For this reason, the present work aims to determine the clinicalepidemiological and laboratory characteristics associated with admission to a critical care unit in pediatric patients with dengue, Hospital Regional de Loreto, 2014-2019. An analytical study was carried out in pediatric patients with a confirmed diagnosis of dengue. Concluding that there is a statistically significant association between the presence of pruritus (p = 0.041), rash (p= 0.010), asthenia (p <0.001), nasal congestion (p <0.001), nasal flutter (p <0.001), intercostal pull p <0.001), generalized edema (p <0.001), pleural effusion (p <0.001), pericardial effusion (p = 0.002), hepatomegaly (p = 0.030) and admission to a critical care unit. It was observed that there is a statistically significant association between coming from an urban area (p <0.001), having an age <2 years (p = 0.034) and admission to a critical care unit. Regarding the laboratory characteristics, it was observed that there is no statistically significant difference between the values of leukocytes (p = 0.495), lymphocytes (p = 0.397), neutrophils (p = 0.250), platelet count (p = 0.259) and hematocrit (p = 0.674) presented by patients hospitalized in the critical care unit and patients hospitalized in the pediatric service (38%). Patients with a time of illness ≥ 4 days presented a statistically significant difference (p = 0.035) in the platelet count presented by patients hospitalized in the critical care unit (59,920 / mm3 and patients hospitalized in the pediatric service (82,381 / mm3).
