Dengue fever in children: where are we now?

چکیده
D fever is the most frequently occurring mosquito-borne viral disease worldwide. Using cartographic approaches, researchers now estimate the number of dengue cases worldwide to have been as high as 390 million in 2010. the first autochthonous cases reported in France, Croatia and Portugal (island of Madeira) demonstrate that the disease is no longer simply a tropical disease. the wide clinical spectrum, which can range from an asymptomatic or mild febrile illness to a life-threatening hemorrhagic fever syndrome, constitutes a particular challenge for clinicians, particularly in nonendemic areas. this review summarizes current knowledge of dengue fever epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnostics, prophylaxis and therapy in children. Dengue in children differs significantly from adult disease.
