We studied the morbidity pattern of inpatient adolescents over a
period of 17 months. Of 32115 admissions in this period, 2742
were adolescents (39.7% females). 93.9% were partially
immunized, 37.3% were malnourished, 2.8% were overweight
and 56% were anemic. Dengue and dengue-like illness (528)
were the most common illness.
