Tissue Factor (TF) is the initiator of coagulation and Tissue Factor Inhibitor (TFPI) is the physiological inhibitor of the TF/FVIIa complex. Circulating levels of TF and TFPI were quantified in dengue patients and the relationships with disease severity and infecting serotype analysed. A significant decrease in TF and TPFI plasma levels was observed in mild DF patients compared with severe dengue. Furthermore, both factors were associated with haemorrhagic manifestations. Finally, TF levels were significantly increased in DENV-1/2 infected patients as compared with DENV-4. These findings suggest that activation of TF-pathway is an important component of DENV -related coagulation disorders.
