INTRODUCTION Dengue is prevalent in many tropical and sub-tropical regions. The clinical diagnosis of dengue is still complex, and not much data are available. This work aimed at assessing the diagnostic accuracy of the tourniquet test in patients with suspected dengue infection and its positivity in different classifications of this disease as reported to the Information System for Notifiable ...

Dengue is a mosquito-borne acute viral disease caused by Flavivirus (RNA virus) and transmitted through the vector Aedes aegypti. Clinical features range from mild fever to complications such as hemorrhagic manifestations shock. This article gives details about management of two dengue cases with decreasing platelet cured homeopathy medicines. The patients were given homeopathic medicine based ...

Problems: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease that transmitted through the bite of Aedes sp. and it still public health problem in Indonesia. The survival dengue mosquito spread can be affected by climate factors such as rainfall, humidity, air temperature. Population density also risk factor for fever. Aim Research: purpose this study was to determine relationship between population on...

Unlike present times, when the major health concerns for Grenada are chronic diseases, the island’s main health problems in the past were infectious diseases. The aim of this review is to examine whether a hemorrhagic fever epidemic precisely occurred in Grenada in the 1700s, and to identify the mostly likely etiologic agents associated with the outbreak. The methods used to collect information...

Dengue fever may occasionally present with high fever, hemorrhagic phenomena and circulatory failure (dengue hemorrhagic fever) or rarely as dengue septic shock.1 A 22 years, non-diabetic and non-hypertensive female patient was evaluated for three-day old high-grade fever. Relevant clinical signs included high fever, multiple skin petechiae and bleeding gums leading to a clinical diagnosis of d...

Dengue fever is a viral infection transmitted by the mosquito, Aedes aegypti. Cardiac rhythm disorders, such as atrioventricular blocks and ventricular ectopic beats, appear during infection and are attributed to viral myocarditis. However, supraventricular arrhythmias have not been reported. We present a case of acute atrial fibrillation, with a rapid ventricular rate, successfully treated wit...

BACKGROUND Demographic features of dengue fever have changed tremendously in Pakistan over the past two decades. Small scale studies from all over the country have reported different aspects of individual outbreaks during this time. However, there is scarcity of data looking at the overall trend of dengue virus infection in the country. In this study, we examined annual trends, seasonality, and...

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS) are life threatening clinical manifestations of infection due to dengue virus. The clinical features of DHF/DSS are due to bleeding diathesis and increased capillary leak(l). The mechanisms of hemorrhagic manifestations in DHF/DSS are not well understood. The suggested factors contributing to bleeding include thrombocytopenia, coagu...
