Dengue Fever

its something called plasma leakage. patient with just dengue didnt suffer plasma leakage, but the other with dengue hemorrhagic fever does. you can know whether someone get a plasma leakage from:

1. anamnese: difficult to breath (due to a pleural effusion), distended abdomen (due to an ascites)

2. phys. diagnostic: derivation of breathing sound, undulation test, edema, poor perfusion and shock sign

3. lab findings: hemoconsentration (higher Hb and PVC)

Flaviviruses are transmitted via arthropod vectors to humans.

Yellow fever, Dengue fever and Japanese encephalitis are mosquito-borne, while others are carried by ticks. There are a total of 69 pathogens within its genome.

Respiratory illness,persistent infections, drowsiness, headache, nausea, pain in the abdomen and swollen glands are some of the symptoms.

As an eruptive fever from warm climates, the word is probably of African origin, possibly Swahili 'dinga' meaning seizure or cramp

purple top

Yes.. Just avoid dark colored food

stressful condition does ,in special fever.

Yes, in a small number of cases the disease develops into the life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever, resulting in bleeding or into dengue shock syndrome, where dangerously low blood pressure occurs.
yes infact it may cause death

The incubation period of dengue fever is approximately four to seven days.

no.

Dengue Nursing Interventions rely on following doctor's advise of increase in fluid intake for hydration (water specifically and avoiding coloured fluids that may mask bleeding), encouraging the patient to rest more so the body recovers form the pains and aches. Patient even after discharge from the hospital must still be under bleeding precautions. Use soft bristled toothbrush (or cotton instead) when doing oral care, not eating coloured food and fluids that may mask bleeding, monitoring s/s of bleeding as epistaxis (nosebleeding) , black stools or hematochezia (GIT bleeding),hematuria (blood in the urine), bruising and petechia. Avoid from instances where patinet will develop bruises like rouggh play and jarring of body parts against objects.

Body needs 3-3.5 ml of water daily( 3,000-3,500 ml of water) as the body has sensible and insensible water losses. More water intake though for patients who are sick like dengue cases. It surely aids in the speedy recovery of the patient.

If a patient is still under Dengue fever Grade 1 diagnosis, it is of dire importance that the patient do not progress to Dengue Hemmorhagic Fever as this is a deadly state wherein patient may really undergo blood transfusion. That is why in all cases of dengue (whatever grade it is in already, signs and symptoms of bleeding must be monitored). There will always be a 24 hour(sometimes a 12 hour) CBC check until parameters are within normal or at least until WBC is already in the fighting stage(In dengue fever cases, WBC goes down as this is a viral disease).Monitor platelet and WBC count.

antibiotics can be given to dengue fever patients for curing any super added infection.

Fever is the body's way of fighting off a bacteria or a virus. The fever seems to slow it down and even inhibit it.

They can be classified into four as with the different virus serotypes or depending on the severity. Dengue fever is described as being milder with flu-like symptoms at first then having the "triad" of fever,rash and headache. Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever(DHF) or Dengue Shock Syndrome(DSS) is the more severe form, wherein a person at some time had the virus and is reinfected.This presents with small purplish spots in the skin where blood is leaking and internal bleeding as well.
there are 4 types of dengue

Stage 1: Acute fever and upper respiratory symptoms

· Stage 2: Fever subsides

· Stage 3: Circulatory failure, neurological problems, and hemorrhaging

· Stage 4: Shock and death (10% of all cases reach this stage)

Mosquitoes don't cause anaemia, but they do carry the malaria parasite which can cause anaemia. Therefore, if you are bitten by a mosquito that is carrying malaria and get infected, you may develop anaemia (with other symptoms of malaria).

Im actually researching this myself. This last answer was incorrect as lytic/lysogenic does not refer to which type of cell the virus invades, but rather what steps it takes for replication. From what i have seen it is lytic though.

• The prevention of dengue fever requires control or eradication of the mosquitoes carrying the virus that causes dengue.
• There is currently no vaccine available for dengue fever.

yes

As it has been described to me, patients with Dengue have such joint pain that even in convalesence their gait is affected to produce a waddle reminescent of the affective gait of a "dandy" walking with a walking stick or cane.

well my grandma said you can add dogs into a mixture of garlic and sesame seeds. if this is not available you may use cats. i think i should eat this pretty soon as i am dying of dengue fever. i think i am..... Thankyou for thiisss convo

The second stage symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.

Aspirin is not prescribed to pregnant women in a similar manner that people suffering from blood clotting deficiencies because aspirin contains elements that makes the blood "thinner" and pregnant women are prone to blood-loss during the lactation and gestation period. Once the blood stream runs thin and clotting is inhibited, the dangers of excessive loss of blood will be apparent.

dengue fever is one of several viral diseases transmitted via an infected vector, namely the aedes aegypti mosquito. its seems logical to curb the mosquito carrier to prevent transmission to humans, however controlling mosquito populations has up to now been inadequate. vaccination is still years in the future, its development may offer a much effective way of preventing this disease. current dengue fever programs involves education, mosquito control and topical insect repellants- lowell n. avenido, md
