Expanded Dengue Syndrome

Dengue is a mosquito-borne disease (female mosquitoes of the Aedes genus, principally Aedes aegypti) caused by any one of four closely related dengue viruses. It is endemic in tropical and subtropical continent. World health organization (WHO) currently estimates there may be 50 -100 million dengue infections worldwide every year with over 2.5 billion people at risk of dengue. Symptomatic dengue virus infection may manifests as undifferentiated fever, classical dengue fever (with or without unusual hemorrhages), and dengue hemorrhagic fever (with or without shock). Isolated organopathy or expanded dengue syndrome (EDS) was coined by WHO in the year 2012 to describe cases, which do not fall into either dengue shock syndrome or dengue hemorrhagic fever. The atypical manifestations noted in expanded dengue are multisystemic and multifaceted with organ involvement, such as liver, brain, heart, kidney, central/peripheral nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, lympho reticular system. Dengue virus has long been considered as a non-neurotropic virus, as animal studies have shown that virus does not cross blood brain barrier. Hyponatremia may be found in association with dengue fever and is thought to be caused by peripheral fluid extravasation and resulting intravascular hypovolaemia. But hyponatremia due to syndrome of inappropriate secretion of anti-diuretic hormone (SIADH) in Dengue fever is rare. We report a 40 years old male who was diagnosed as Dengue fever (Dengue Ns1Ag positive) with thrombocytopenia and hyponatremia. He was admitted and further investigations revealed SIADH. He responded well to cautious sodium replacement and addition of tolvaptan. He recovered completely and was discharged after one week. Thus, all clinicians should keep in mind the possibility of SIADH as a part of expanded dengue syndrome.

Background: Dengue infections can result in a wide spectrum of disease severity ranging from an influenza-like illness (dengue fever; DF) to the life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF)/dengue shock syndrome (DSS). The study was aimed to compare the clinical profile of all patients diagnosed with dengue viral infection at NCMC.Methods: This retrospective study included 24 patients infected with dengue virus, aged 19 years to 45 years. Laboratory and haematological data were included.Results Peak of infection occurred in November 2019 and no cases were recorded in October 2019. Common clinical symptoms were fever, joint pains, headache and rash. Common haematological abnormalities were thrombocytopenia. All patients survived. There was no case of dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome.Conclusions: Significant differences in the clinical profile is possibly because of infection with different serotypes of dengue virus (DENV), concurrent/sequential infection of more than one serotype, and differences in host immune responses associated with host genetic variations.

BACKGROUND: Dengue is a mosquito-borne disease caused by any one of four closely related Dengue virus (DENV 1-4). The clinical sign Dengue virus infection can vary from mild (mild febrile illness), Dengue Fever (DF), Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) to Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever with shock (Dengue Shock Syndrome, DSS). AIM: This study was designed to determine the relationship of obesity with the severity of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever in children. METHODS: It is a case-control study. The data of patients were retrospectively collected from the Department of Child Health at the Wangaya General Hospital between March 2019 to May 2019. It uses consecutive sampling. The total sample of 22 children with DHF with shock and 22 children with DHF without shock were investigated. Statistical analysis has been performed by SPSS Statistics 20.0 for Mac (IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, USA). DHF positive results were compared by the Chi-square test and binary logistic regression. RESULTS: Prevalence of DHF with shock is fifty per cent's and DHF without shock is 50%. Prevalence of obesity is 40.9%. The result of binary logistic regression analysis of obesity in children and the severity of DHF was significantly correlated with P-value 0.004 and OR = 7.734. CONCLUSION: Obesity is associated with the severity of Dengue Hemorrhagic fever in children.

The study was aimed to compare the clinical profile of all patients diagnosed with dengue viral infection at NCMC.Methods: This retrospective study included 136 patients infected with dengue virus, age 2 years to 68 years. Laboratory and haematological data were included.Results: Peak of infection occurred in Nov. 2017 and least number of cases were recorded in September 2017. Common clinical symptoms were fever, headache and myalgia. Common haematological abnormalities were thrombocytopenia and leucopoenia. All patients survived. There was no case of dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome.Conclusions: Significant differences in the clinical profile is possibly because of infection with different serotypes of dengue virus (DENV), concurrent/sequential infection of more than one serotype, and differences in host immune responses associated with host genetic variations.
