Wide Range

Background: Dengue fever is an acute febrile illness caused by 4 closely related viral serotypes of the genus Flavivirus. Dengue has a broad range of clinical manifestations and often with unpredictable clinical evaluation and outcome. So this study has been done to see the wide range of clinical presentation of dengue and its outcome.Methods: It is a retrospective study done in tertiary hospital during the period of 8 months. Study was done by collecting the previous records from hospital record section. There were 48 cases of serologically confirmed cases of dengue which satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study. Results: In our study there were 52% of the cases of dengue fever, 16.6% of cases were dengue fever with warning signs and remaining 31.4% of patients were severe dengue. Common Clinical symptoms at admission were fever (100%), vomiting (77%), respiratory distress (56.25%), generalised weakness (54.1%) and pain abdomen (33.3%). Less common symptoms were loose stools (6.25%), periorbital puffiness (6.25%), altered sensorium (4.1%), oliguria (2%) and bleeding manifestations (2%). Out of these dengue children 70.8% of these children improved without complication, 20.8 % of children improved with complication, in the form of ARDS, acute liver failure, DSS, meningitis, 6.25 % of these children went DAMA and  2 % of children expired.Conclusions: In our study atypical presentations like respiratory distress, loose stools meningitis were commonly noted and bleeding manifestation at admission was rare in our study. Platelet transfusions have little role in management of dengue patients. Early diagnosis, careful monitoring and proper fluid management goes a long way in reducing the mortality due to dengue hemorrhagic fever and shock syndrome.

The objective of the study was to analyze the effect of vitamin C in the management of Dengue fever in the tertiary care hospitals of selected three states of India (Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Madhya Pradesh). This retrospective study was carried out for a period of 6 months from November 2017 to April 2018, in which 200 patients were selected by considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. It included 100 patients who were administered with Vitamin C and another 100 patients who were not given Vitamin C. All data were entered into the prepared PROFORMA. Mainly the increase in platelet counts and the duration of the hospital stay for both categories of patients were studied. Majority of dengue cases were in Tamil Nadu, followed by Kerala and then Madhya Pradesh depending upon the seasonal variations. Occurrence in male patients (58.5%) were more than female patients (41.5%). The most commonly affected age group ranges from 0-15 years (35.5%). Among the various types of dengue fever, a large number of patients had common dengue fever (87.5%). The 100 patients who were treated with vitamin C were mostly administered by oral routes. It was seen that the patients who were administered with Vitamin C had a greater percentage increase in their platelet count and a shorter duration of hospital stay. Study indicates that there exists an association between Vitamin C intake and length of hospital stay.

Haematological Profile

Background: In India, dengue epidemics are becoming more frequent. Dengue viral infections are among the most important mosquito-borne disease of the Indian subcontinent. The study aimed to compare the clinical and haematological profile of all patients diagnosed with dengue viral infection. Patient with confirmed infection with dengue virus were prospectively evaluated for disease progression and to determine their final clinical outcome. The objective of the study was to study the clinico-haematological profile of dengue infection at rural tertiary care centre.Methods: This prospective study included 456 clinically suspected cases of dengue infection of ages more than 14 years of age. Dengue was confirmed by serological methods. Confirmed cases of dengue infection were analyzed according to age, sex and education. Clinical and hematological data were compared between dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever.Results: Serologic dengue infection was positive in 220 (48%) out of 456 clinically suspected cases of the dengue infection. 127 (57.73%) patients were males and 93 (42.27%) were females. 149 (67.72%) patient had dengue fever while 71 (32.27%) had dengue hemorrhagic fever. The proportion of dengue cases was highest among male aged 15 to 24 years-old. A gradual decrease occurred in the percentage of dengue cases in the population aged 44 years-old or more. Common clinical symptoms were fever, headache, abdominal pain, myalgia, joint pain and retro-orbital pain. Common haematological abnormalities were thrombocytopenia, leukopenia and elevated alanine aminotransferase (SGOT).Conclusions: Differences in the clinical, biochemical and haematological profile of dengue virus infection, indicative of a variation in disease severity from DF to DHF. In this study, we present recent data on readily obtained clinical and laboratory data that can be used for early diagnosis and earlier appropriate treatment of dengue virus infection.
