A Clinical Study of Dengue Fever in Pediatric Age Group
Dr. Mattaparthi Hari Krishna
Abstract: Hepatomegaly, vomiting, bleeding tendencies, erythematous rash, distention of abdomen, ascites and pleural effusion, respiratory distress are suggestive of a more severe course. Laboratory investigations reveal thrombocytopenia, elevated liver enzymes, and leukopenia. Children with hepatomegaly, vomitings, bleeding manifestations, ascites, pleural effusion, respiratory distress had severe course. Rash, melena, petechae, fluid collection in abdomen is observed to be good predictive markers for DHF/DSS. Ultrasonography of chest and abdomen were more helpful than x-ray chest. Appropriate investigations, strict monitoring and prompt supportive management proved to be reducing mortality in dengue.
