What Causes High Fever When Diagnosed With Dengue?

Hi doctor, my 8 yr old son was diagnosed of having a dengue. He had a high fever for 4 days (40c). On the 6th day, his sgot and sgpt were high. Sgpt is 257.9 and sgot is 473. 2. His pedia said his liver is swollen. We were not given any medications for his liver. What does it mean? Does my son has hepatitis? Is it communicable? Thanks.

Dengue fever is an arboviral infection with the largest incidence worldwide, transmitted by Aedes aegypti. The aim of the study is to study the role of serum transaminases on dengue fever. The serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminases (SGOT) and serum glutamic pyruvic transaminases (SGPT) were estimated by enzymatic (kinetic) methods for 50 dengue positive cases. Overall, 80% of dengue fever cases of this study showed increased values of serum transaminases. This study suggested that most of the dengue fever cases had elevated serum transaminases reflecting early liver damage. Early alterations of biochemical markers can predict dengue fever in patients with acute fever caused by dengue.no its not communicable.
