Short-term, medium-term, and long-term risks of nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding after dengue virus infection
Dengue patients have an increased risk of acute gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. However, whether dengue virus (DENV) infection can cause an increased long-term risk of GI bleeding remains unknown, especially among elderly individuals who commonly take antithrombotic drugs. A retrospective population...
