  1. A Curious Case of Dengue Fever: A Case Report of Unorthodox

    Abstract. Dengue is the major cause of arthropod-borne viral disease in the world. It presents with high fever, headache, rash, myalgia, and arthralgia and it is a self-limiting illness. Severe dengue can occur in some cases resulting in dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS). We present a case of a 32-year-old male ...

  2. A Case of Dengue Fever With Hemorrhagic Manifestations

    Abstract. Dengue fever is an arboviral infection spread by the Aedes mosquito with a wide spectrum of presentations encompassing simple flu-like illness to hemorrhagic manifestations. Hemorrhagic complications range from simple petechiae and purpura to gastrointestinal bleeding, hematuria, and severe central nervous system (CNS) bleeds.

  3. Severe Dengue Fever with Haemolytic Anaemia—A Case Study

    2. Discussion. Our case of severe dengue fever with impending dengue shock syndrome [], developed hemolysis on day 9 of illness, as manifested by sudden drop of haemoglobin, reticulocytosis, positive indirect Coombs's test, and no blood loss, with rising platelet count (after severe depression) and normal coagulation studies.Haemolytic anaemia in dengue fever is considered rare, and has been ...

  4. Series of 10 dengue fever cases with unusual presentations and

    Background Dengue has global importance as a dreaded arboviral infection. It has 4 serotypes of epidemiological imporatnce. The classification denotes two clinical spectrums- dengue fever (DF) and dengue haemorragic fever (DHF). Most cases are stereotype and amenable to fluid resuscitation. However, unusual manifestations cause fatalities and often overlooked. This study describes 10 such ...

  5. Unforeseen complications: a case of dengue shock syndrome presenting

    Dengue fever, a viral illness transmitted by the Aedes mosquito, is capable of causing a range of serious complications, including fulminant hepatic failure, renal dysfunction, encephalitis, encephalopathy, neuromuscular and ophthalmic disorders, seizures, and cardiomyopathy. This report details the case of a 30-year-old lactating woman with no notable medical history who presented to the ...

  10. A study on knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding dengue fever

    Background The World Health Organization (WHO) has ranked dengue as one of the top ten threats to Global health in 2019. Sri Lanka faced a massive dengue epidemic in 2017, the largest outbreak in the country during the last three decades, consisting of 186,101 reported cases, and over 320 deaths. The epidemic was controlled by intense measures taken by the health sector. However, the reported ...

  11. Dengue and severe dengue

    Most people with dengue have mild or no symptoms and will get better in 1-2 weeks. Rarely, dengue can be severe and lead to death. If symptoms occur, they usually begin 4-10 days after infection and last for 2-7 days. Symptoms may include: high fever (40°C/104°F) severe headache. pain behind the eyes.

  12. Current Dengue Fever Research

    Large-scale studies of patterns in dengue transmission can provide essential information to resist the disease, identify and diagnose dengue cases, and implement mosquito-control efforts ...

  13. Dengue Fever: Prognostic Insights From a Complete Blood Count

    Early indicators of prognosis are vital to reduce the fatality rate associated with dengue fever. The objective of this study is to investigate the value of a complete blood count (CBC) in determining the prognosis of dengue fever. ... In India, the total economic burden due to dengue in 2018 was USD 27.4 million. The case fatality rate was 2.6%.

    Illness course. Day 6: Increased redness of hands and arms; hands mildly swollen. Fevers down. Overall feels better. Day 7: On call physician by patient because of widely fluctuating heart rate and pulse ox (he has a home monitor) with associated LH and SOB. Advised to urgently go to ED for evaluation, however patient did not go.

  17. Dengue

    Dengue, caused by four closely related viruses, is a growing global public health concern, with outbreaks capable of overwhelming health-care systems and disrupting economies. Dengue is endemic in more than 100 countries across tropical and subtropical regions worldwide, and the expanding range of the mosquito vector, affected in part by climate change, increases risk in new areas such as ...

    We take as a case study dengue in the Philippines and develop an epidemic risk index; we correct dengue incidence for underreporting based on accessibility to healthcare and show that it correlates well with the risk index (Pearson correlation coefficient 0.69, p-value 0.002).

  19. Climate change and the emergence of vector-borne diseases in Europe

    Dengue fever is the most prevalent mosquito-borne viral disease worldwide. Dengue transmission is critically dependent on climatic factors and there is much concern as to whether climate change would spread the disease to areas currently unaffected. The occurrence of autochthonous infections in Croatia and France in 2010 has raised concerns about a potential re-emergence of dengue in Europe.

  20. Dengue Fever

    Dengue is a mosquito-transmitted virus and is the leading cause of arthropod-borne viral disease worldwide, posing a significant global health concern. This disease is also known by various monikers, such as breakbone or 7-day fever, and is characterized by intense muscle spasms, joint pain, and high fever, reflecting both the severity and the duration of symptoms.
