Additional filesAdditional file 1: Blood collection time in patients during dengue fever. Twenty patients had mild dengue and thirty-nine had severe dengue. Box-and-whiskers graph. The box extends from the 25th to the 75th percentile and the line at the middle is the median. The error bars, or whiskers extend down to the lowest value and up to the highest. Mann-Whitney U test was used to evaluate differences between blood collection time from severe and mild dengue patients and no significant difference was found (P = 0.7851).
