Dengue fever
Dengue fever ( 24 Questions)
Hypotension, pleural effusion, and ascites are signs and symptoms associated with the severe dengue phase, also known as dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) or dengue shock syndrome (DSS) These symptoms occur when the disease progresses to a more severe form, characterized by plasma leakage and organ impairment.
Altered LOC (level of consciousness), seizures, and slow HR (heart rate) are not typical signs and symptoms of dengue fever. These symptoms may be indicative of other conditions but are not directly related to dengue fever.
Sudden-onset fever, headache, muscle and joint pains are the classic symptoms of dengue fever. These symptoms typically appear after an incubation period of 4 to 10 days and are followed by a febrile phase, which may last for a few days.
Increased vascular permeability, thrombocytopenia, and hemorrhage are characteristic features of severe dengue fever, specifically DHF or DSS. These manifestations occur due to the increased permeability of blood vessels and low platelet counts, leading to bleeding tendencies and potential shock.
