The document discusses dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) in adults. It provides epidemiological data showing over 2.5 billion people in 100 countries are at risk of dengue infection. It reviews clinical manifestations and laboratory findings in adults with dengue fever (DF) and DHF. Key points include thrombocytopenia being common, with over 25% of DHF patients having platelet counts less than 20,000/mm3. Bleeding is a risk, especially for those with severe thrombocytopenia, liver dysfunction, or shock. Proper fluid management and monitoring are important for treating DHF to avoid complications.

Expert consensus groups in Latin America (Havana, Cuba, 2007), South-East Asia (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 2007), and at WHO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland in 2008 agreed that: “ dengue is one disease entity with different clinical presentations and often with unpredictable clinical evolution and outcome”; Who Guideline 2009

11. Travel - Associated Dengue Infections - United States, 2001-2004 The median age of the 71 patients for whom age was reported was 38 years ( range : 8 months--72 years ). The most commonly reported symptoms were fever ( 54 patients [ 96% ]) , headache ( 36 [ 64% ]) , myalgias ( 32 [ 57% ]) , chills ( 19 [ 34% ]) , and rash ( 20 [ 36% ]). Fourteen patients ( 25% ) had at least one hemorrhagic symptom ( e . g . , petechiae, purpura, hemoptysis, hematemesis, hematuria, or epistaxis ) , and nine ( 16% ) had elevated liver transaminases . 15 patients ( 27% ) required hospitalization, including one who died . Travel destinations were available for 66 patients ( 86% ) ; 20 patients ( 30% ) reported recent travel to a Caribbean island during the 2 weeks before illness onset, 14 ( 21% ) to Pacific islands , 11 ( 17% ) to Asia , 10 ( 15% ) to Central America , 10 ( 15% ) to South America , and one ( 2% ) to Africa .
14. Severe Dengue Virus Infection in Travelers: Risk Factors and Laboratory Indicators Ole Wichmann, ; Clin Infect Dis 2007 219 dengue virus infections imported from various regions of endemicity were reported. Serological analysis revealed a secondary immune response in 17 %. Spontaneous bleeding was observed in 17(8%) patients and was associated with increased serum alanine and aspartate aminotransferase levels and lower median platelet counts. 23(11%) travelers had severe clinical manifestations (internal hemorrhage, plasma leakage, shock, or marked thrombocytopenia). A secondary immune response was significantly associated with both spontaneous bleeding and other severe clinical manifestations.
17. Criteria for diagnosis of DHF Clinical : 1. Fever , acute onset, high continuous for 2-7 days 2. Haemorrhagic manifestations including a positive tourniquet test and any of the following: petechiae, purpural, echymosis epistaxis, gum bleeding, hematemesis, 3. Enlargement of liver 4. Shock Laboratory 1. Thrombocytopenia ( < 100,000/mm 3 ) 2. Hemoconcentration ( > 20% increase in Hct level) Leakage syndrome : High Hct, pleural effusion, ascitis, thickening gallbladder

Severe dengue should be considered if the patient is from an area of dengue risk presenting with fever of 2–7 days plus any of the followings • There is evidence of plasma leakage, such as: – high or progressively rising haematocrit; – pleural effusions or ascites; – circulatory compromise or shock (tachycardia, cold and clammy extremities, capillary refill time greater than three seconds, weak or undetectable pulse, narrow pulse pressure or, in late shock, unrecordable blood pressure). • There is significant bleeding. • There is an altered level of consciousness (lethargy or restlessness, coma, convulsions). • There is severe gastrointestinal involvement (persistent vomiting, increasing or intense abdominal pain, jaundice). • There is severe organ impairment (acute liver failure, acute renal failure, encephalopathy or encephalitis, or other unusual manifestations, cardiomyopathy) or other unusual manifestations.

35. If major bleeding occurs it is usually from the gastrointestinal tract, and/or vagina in adult females. Internal bleeding may not become apparent for many hours until the first black stool is passed. Patients at risk of major bleeding are those who: – have prolonged/refractory shock; – have hypotensive shock and renal or liver failure and/or severe and persistent metabolic acidosis; – are given non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents; – have pre-existing peptic ulcer disease; – are on anticoagulant therapy; – have any form of trauma, including intramuscular injection. Patients with haemolytic conditions are at risk of acute haemolysis with haemoglobinuria and will require blood transfusion.

Of 256 patients with dengue infection who developed thrombocytopenia ( platelet count, < 20 x 10 3 platelets / microL ) without prior bleeding , 188 were given platelet transfusion . Subsequent bleeding, platelet increment, and platelet recovery were similar between patients given transfusion and patients not given transfusion . Prophylactic platelet transfusion was ineffective in preventing bleeding in adult patients with dengue infection .

61. Causes of fluid overload are: – excessive and/or too rapid intravenous fluids; – incorrect use of hypotonic rather than isotonic crystalloid solutions; – inappropriate use of large volumes of intravenous fluids in patients with unrecognized severe bleeding; – inappropriate transfusion of fresh-frozen plasma, platelet concentrates and cryoprecipitates; – continuation of intravenous fluids after plasma leakage has resolved (24–48 hours from defervescence); – co-morbid conditions such as congenital or ischaemic heart disease, chronic lung and renal diseases.
