dengue/edema

Acute scrotal edema associated with dengue fever is a rare and self limiting condition resolving in a few days without any complication or sequelae. We report two cases of dengue fever in father and son which presented simultaneously with acute scrotal edema.

OBJECTIVE To determine gallbladder edema with type of Dengue infection and hematocrit level. METHODS A retrospective study was performed on 225 cases of DHF admitted from January to December 1997 to determine the association between the type of Dengue infection, hemoconcentration and the presence or

We report a case of an adult with dengue hemorrhagic fever who developed acute idiopathic scrotal edema and glove-and-stocking polyneuropathy. A 54-year-old man who had fever, chills, bone pain, and skin rash for 4 days was admitted. We diagnosed dengue hemorrhagic fever because of fever, gum

BACKGROUND Radiographic findings of dengue fever have not yet been clearly elucidated in relation to clinical and serological findings, despite the fact that two-fifths of the world population lives in areas where the virus is endemic. The current study is a retrospective analysis of

We compared 53 patients with Dengue shock syndrome (DSS) who received preventive transfusions with 53 who did not. Significant differences in the development of pulmonary edema and length of hospitalization (P<.05) and none in hemorrhage (P=.136) were observed. Preventive transfusions did not

Dengue is an arboviral disease caused by dengue virus (DENV), which is transmitted to humans by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Infection by DENV most commonly results in a mild flu-like illness; however, the disease has been increasingly associated with neurological symptomatology. This

BACKGROUND HPS is a potentially life-threatening histiocytic disorder that has been described in various viral infections including dengue. Its involvement in severe and fatal dengue is probably more common but is presently under recognized. METHODS A 38-year-old female was admitted after 5 days of

Dengue is a major worldwide public health problem, especially in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Primary infection with a single Dengue virus serotype causes a mild, self-limiting febrile illness called dengue fever. However, a subset of patients who experience secondary infection

BACKGROUND The incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever is increasing among the adult population living in endemic areas. The disease carries a 0.73% fatality rate for the general population, but what happens when the disease strikes a special subpopulation group, the obstetrics? Perhaps the important

The level of plasma leakage is mild to moderate in patients with non-shock dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF grade I and grade II), and the necessity of intravenous fluid replacement for these patients remains controversial. We conducted an observational study in adult patients (>18 years) with

Management of patients with dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS) requires especial care. It is based on physiological replacement therapy and fluid control. The use of blood products has its own criteria, especially during the disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) in
