Sir: The recent report on serum platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase activity in dengue is very interesting. There are some facts to be discussed. First, the serum platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase activity can be affected by several confounding factors such as other concurrent illness, e.g. hypertension and atherosclerosis diseases. Second, the day of sample collection is important. It is reported that the serum platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase can be increased in acute febrile phase and is rapidly decreased in convalescent phase.
