Dengue fever is an acute febrile viral disease, which frequently presents with high fever, headache, bone pain and skin rash. Acute pancreatitis and seizure are rare manifestations of dengue virus infection. A 66-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus presented with epigastralgia, nausea, vomiting,
This study was conducted to evaluate the etiologies of pyrexia in children with first febrile seizures using a prospectively recorded medical protocol, bacterial culture, and serologic tests for human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6), dengue virus and Japanese B encephalitis (JE) virus. Of 82 children with
Vertical transmission of dengue has been documented and is associated with diverse presentations in newborns. Care of such babies requires meticulous support to maintain homeostasis until the baby recovers. We present a neonate diagnosed with congenital dengue, born to a mother diagnosed with dengue
Dengue virus induced encephalitis is a very rare entity and its full clinicoradiological profile is still unknown. We here report two cases of dengue encephalitis from Eastern India. The first one is a 20 year old female and the second one is a 13 year old boy. Both of them presented with altered
Dengue is endemic and prevalent in tropical and sub-tropical countries including India and can cause significant mortality and morbidity. There are limited studies available on factors associated with severe dengue from India, to investigate the predictors of severe dengue in south Background: Dengue is the leading cause of mosquito-borne viral infection. It is responsible for high morbidity and mortality in children living in endemic areas. Nowadays, neurological complications are progressively referred to and
Dengue infection has been implicated as a cause of neurologic manifestations since the beginning of the 20th century. An enhanced surveillance system for encephalitis and aseptic meningitis developed by the Puerto Rico Department of Health in collaboration with the Dengue Branch, Centers for Disease
There are outbreaks of dengue every year in India. They vary in the predominant serotype involved, clinical features and predominant laboratory findings. This study of the 2006 outbreak in Delhi highlights clinical features and laboratory parameters of dengue cases and compares the clinical features
Reported dengue activity in Puerto Rico (PR) increased in 1990 for the fourth consecutive year. The Community Hygiene Division of the PR Health Department received 9,540 reports of suspected dengue cases. Of the blood samples obtained from 7,660 patients, 1,911 were confirmed as dengue infection by
The authors present 2 cases of dengue shock syndrome with unusual complications. In the first case, a 14-y-old boy with dengue shock syndrome who required aggressive fluid resuscitation, developed abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). Patient developed severe shock, increased ventilator requirement
BACKGROUND
Dengue is one of the most common infectious diseases. The aim of this study was to systematically review acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) and to represent a new case.
RESULTS
We searched for articles in nine databases for case reports, series or previous reviews reporting ADEM
The evaluation of the contribution of neurological dengue in suspected central nervous system (CNS) viral infections is essential to better understand the impact of neurological dengue on morbidity and mortality in dengue endemic regions such as Jamaica. For this study 401 cases of suspected viral
The clinical profile and presentation of patients with dengue fever may differ from asymptomatic infection to the dreadful complications like dengue shock syndrome. However, neurological complications are very rare. Dengue encephalitis occurs by a direct involvement of central nervous system by the
Dengue is a common viral infection worldwide with presentation varying from clinically silent infection to dengue fever, dengue hemorrhagic fever, and severe fulminant dengue shock syndrome. Neurological manifestation usually results from multisystem dysfunction secondary to vascular leak.
OBJECTIVE
Steroids are widely used in Thailand and other dengue-endemic countries to treat severe dengue shock syndrome. This study was designed to determine whether a single high dose of methylprednisolone will reduce mortality in children with dengue shock syndrome who did not respond to simple
