Dengue-associated liver injury is common, prognostically significant, and associated with high mortality at severe thresholds. Oxidative stress is a key, potentially modifiable mechanism. N-acetylcysteine has strong biological plausibility and supportive preclinical data, but clinical evidence remains limited, underscoring the need for well-designed randomized trials to inform practice and policy.
