Dengue and severe dengue

Clinical Microbiology Reviews
SUMMARY Dengue is an acute mosquito-borne viral disease that is highly prevalent throughout the tropical world. The geographic footprint of the four dengue viruses (DENV-1 to -4) that cause this disease and their Aedes mosquito vector is expanding, extending into North America and Mediterranean Europe ...

Markers of Dengue Disease Severity

2009
Infection with one of the four serotypes of dengue virus (DENV) causes a wide spectrum of clinical disease ranging from asymptomatic infection, undifferentiated fever, dengue fever (DF) to dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). DHF occurs in a minority of patients and is characterized by bleeding and plasma leakage which may lead to shock. There are currently

Towards Predicting Progression to Severe Dengue

Trends in Microbiology, 2020
There is an urgent need for prognostic assays to predict progression to severe dengue infection, which is a major global threat. While the majority of symptomatic dengue patients experience an acute febrile illness, 5-20% progress to severe infection associated with significant morbidity and mortality.

Severe dengue: questioning the paradigm

Microbes and Infection, 2010
Severe dengue has been recognised for more than 200 years, but attempts to define, categorize and explain the condition have hotly contested for more than four decades. Resolution of this controversy may provide new insights for the management of patients.

CORRELATION OF DENGUE SCORE WITH THE SEVERITY OF DENGUE

GLOBAL JOURNAL FOR RESEARCH ANALYSIS, 2023
Background : Dengue is one of the most prevalent vector borne diseases worldwide. Dengue fever presents with wide clinical spectrum ranging from self limiting infection to severe dengue. Aim: Present study is done to correlate a novel indicator 'Dengue Score' with the severity of dengue.

Current management of severe dengue infection

Expert Review of Anti-infective Therapy, 2016
Traditionally a disease mainly affecting the pediatric population, dengue burden has increased significantly in recent decades and adults with severe disease may become more common. There is currently no effective anti-viral agent available for the treatment of dengue and supportive care is the mainstay of management. Areas covered: We present a review

IgG fucosylation predicts dengue severity

Science, 2021
Immunology Secondary infections with dengue virus (DENV) can produce life-threatening symptoms, including thrombocytopenia and hemorrhagic disease, when preexisting DENV-reactive immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) antibodies promote the infection of immune cells. Although severe dengue symptoms are associated with increased levels of afucosylated IgG1 glycoforms,

Unusual presentation of severe dengue: Dengue maculopathy.

The Medical journal of Malaysia, 2019
Dengue infection is epidemic but ocular complications of dengue are less reported. We report a case of dengueinfected patient with disturbing ocular symptoms. He was admitted for severe dengue. Subsequently, he presented with symptoms of bilateral central scotoma with metamorphosia.
