Why is it you need to watch for bleeding in dengue hemorrhagic fever?
Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever is a complication of Dengue Fever. It's name implies that is indeed a haemorrhagic fever which means the victim suffers from low platelet counts. Platelets are the small cell fragments in the body that serve to "close up" wounds, congealing into a mass that staunches bleeding. When these counts are low, the body is unable to close up tears in blood vessels which lead to fatal haemorrhage. This leads to dengue shock syndrome (DSS), which means that vital organs shut down from lack of oxygen and blood flow. These complications occur in less than 5% of all dengue fever cases, but at the first sign of such complications, immediate and total intervention is necessary.
