To give facts and information about dengue fever syndrome.To acquaint us on the procedures and management of dengue fever syndrome.To categorize the factors that may contribute to the progress of further complication.

Dengue fever, a contagious disease transmitted via the Aedes aegypti mosquito, infects between 50 million and 100 million people worldwide each year. Also known as Break bone or Dandy fever, Dengue fever is found in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world.

Exposure to the Flavivirus that causes dengue fever results in one of three pathophysiologies: Dengue Fever, the more severe Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) or Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS).

After five to eight days of incubation, individuals infected with dengue fever develop symptoms unexpectedly. The initial symptoms of Dengue Fever lasts about 6-7 days. The fever lasts rapidly in the first 48-96 hours of the illness and then may break for a day before elevating rapidly again. This second phase of the fever is often when a rash may appear on the limbs or chest

Dengue is the most common mosquito-borne viral disease of humans that in recent years and has become a major international public health concern. Globally, 2.5 billion people live in areas where dengue viruses can be transmitted. The geographical spread of both the mosquito vectors and the viruses has led to the global resurgence of epidemic dengue fever and emergence of dengue hemorrhagic fever (dengue/DHF) in the past 25 years with the development of hyperendemicity in many urban centers of the tropics.

PhysiologyIncreased heat in the body is caused by increased production or decreased elimination or dysfunction of the thermoregulatory system in the brain. Increased production of heat occurs in conditions with increased metabolic rate such as hyperthyroidism, pheochromocytomas, and malignant neoplasms. Poor eliminations of heat may occur in congestive heart failure (poor circulation through the skin) and conditions where the sweat glands are absent (congenital) or poorly functioning (heat stroke). Most cases of fever are caused by the effect of toxins on the thermoregulatory centers in the brain. These toxins may be exogenous from drugs, bacteria (endotoxins), parasites, fungi, rickettsiae, and virus particles, or they may be endogenous from tissue injury (trauma) and breakdown (carcinomas, leukemia, infarctions, and autoimmune disease).AnatomyWith the etiologies suggested by the mnemonicVINDICATE,one can apply anatomy and the various organ systems and make a useful chart (Table 28). The infections should be divided into thesystemic diseasesthat affect more than one organ, such as typhoid, brucellosis, tuberculosis, syphilis, leptospirosis, and bacterial endocarditis, and thelocalized diseasesthat usually affect the same specific organ, such as infectious hepatitis, subacute thyroiditis, pneumococcal pneumonia, and cholera. It is wise to divide the localized infectious diseases into theitises(e.g., pneumonitis, hepatitis, and prostatitis), and theabscesses(dental abscess, empyema, perinephric abscess, liver abscess, and subdiaphragmatic abscess).
