Dengue Fever Care at Little Stars & She Hospitals

Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral infection causing high fever, headache, muscle pain, rash, and mild bleeding. Severe forms like Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS) can be life-threatening.

Types of Dengue:

• Classical Dengue: High fever, headache, joint pain, rash, and mild bleeding.
• Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF): Involves bleeding, plasma leakage, and low blood pressure, requiring advanced care.
• Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS): Severe fluid leakage leading to shock, a medical emergency.

Symptoms:

•  High fever
•  Severe headache, pain behind the eyes
•  Joint and muscle pain
•  Rash and mild bleeding
•  Nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain
• Signs of shock in severe cases

Diagnosis and Treatment:

• Physical Exams & Blood Tests: For virus detection and monitoring.
• Dengue NS1 Antigen Test: Detects early infection.
• Supportive Care: Hydration and symptom relief with acetaminophen.
• IV Fluids: For severe cases to prevent dehydration and shock.
• Hospitalization: Intensive care for critical cases in our advanced PICU.

Prevention
