Clinical Profile of Dengue, Clinical Manifestations And Its Neurological Involvement.
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 9
Abstract
Dengue fever has a wide geographical distribution, and can present with a diverse clinical spectrum. Recent observations indicate that the clinical profile of dengue is changing, and that neurological manifestations are being reported more frequently. The exact incidence of various neurological complications is uncertain.This study is undertaken to evaluate common modes of clinical presentation and neurological complications in our hospital and correlate these features with lab findings which may help us in early diagnosis and better case management to reduce mortality. Results were analysed and discussed. In conclusion, critically ill children with dengue may have varied manifestations. Most complications such as established and refractory shock, diastolic dysfunction, abdominal compartment syndrome, DIC, ARDS were more frequent in severe established shock. Neurological events, for the most part, were unrelated to the perfusion status.
