Stress Hormone Levels in Healthy and Dengue-Infected Patients (n=71)

A dataset of 71 individuals measuring cortisol and epinephrine levels in healthy controls and patients infected with different dengue virus (DENV) serotypes. The data is provided by author Misbah Anwar in an XLS file and was last updated on April 24, 2026. The dataset is licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Use Cases

• Compare stress hormone concentrations between healthy and infected individuals based on the cortisol and epinephrine measurements.
• Analyze potential differences in hormonal response across dengue virus serotypes based on the infection groups described.
• Build predictive models for physiological stress markers in viral infections using the paired hormone level data.
• Conduct statistical hypothesis testing on the relationship between dengue infection and adrenal hormone output.

Strengths

• Includes measurements for two key stress hormones (cortisol and epinephrine) allowing for paired analysis.
• Covers a defined cohort of 71 individuals, providing a clear sample size.
• Distinguishes between healthy individuals and patients infected with different dengue virus serotypes.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope and number of features.
