Abstract Introduction Dengue is a mosquito borne acute febrile illness caused by viruses belonging to group flaviviridea. Primarily this disease is transmitted by Aedes mosquito. Dyselectrolemia is very common among dengue patients.  Hyponatremia and hypokalemia are the most common electrolyte abnormalities. Methodology The present study is a cross sectional study, 50 patients were assessed that were admitted from January 2024 to May 2024 in the Department of General Medicine, Dr Balasaheb Vikhe Patil Rural Medical College, Loni. Objectives of study 1)To estimate serum electrolytes in patients with Dengue. 2)To correlate Dengue infection severity with serum electrolyte levels. Results Out of 50 subjects, 15 had mild hyponatremia, 4 had moderate hyponatremia and 31 had normal Sodium levels. Chi-square test revealed significant association between sodium levels and Dengue severity. Among 50 subjects, 17 had mild hypokalemia, 1 had moderate hypokalemia and 32 had normal potassium scores. Chi-square test showed no significant association between potassium levels and Dengue severity. Conclusion Hyponatremia was the most frequent electrolyte disturbance. Mild hyponatremia and mild hypokalemia were commonly observed among patients of dengue without warning signs, where as moderate hyponatremia was common among severe forms like dengue with warning signs and dengue shock syndrome.

Dengue fever without warning signs, Dengue with warning signs, Dengue shock syndrome, hyponatremia, hypokalemia.
