10. Febrile Phase
ļ” facial flushing
ļ” skin erythema
ļ” generalized body ache
ļ” myalgia and arthralgia
ļ” headache
ļ” sorethroat, injected pharynx,
and conjunctival injection
ļ” anorexia, nausea and vomiting
ļ” earliest abnormality -
progressive decrease in total wbc
ā¢ Sudden onset of
high-grade fever
ā¢ Lasts for 2-7 days
11. Critical Phase
ā¢ temperature drops to 37.5-38 (days 3-7)
ā¢ increase in capillary permeability with increasing
hematocrit levels
ā¢ significant plasma leakage lasts for 24-48 hours
ā¢ progressive leukopenia followed by rapid decrease in
platelet precedes plasma leakage
12. Critical Phase
ā¢ if (-) increase in capillary permeability ļ improve
ā¢ if (+) increase in capillary permeability ļ pleural
effusion and ascites
ā¢ degree of increase above the baseline hematocrit
reflects the severity of plasma leakage
13. Critical Phase
ā¢ shock: critical volume of plasma is lost
ā¢ temperature may be subnormal
ā¢ prolonged shock ļ organ hypoperfusion ļ organ
impairment, metabolic acidosis, and DIC ļ severe
hemorrhage
ā¢ severe hepatitis, encephalitis or myocarditis
14. Recovery Phase
ā¢ gradual reabsorption of extravascular compartment
fluid (48-72 hours)
ā¢ general well-being improves, appetite returns, GI
symptoms abate, hemodynamic status stabilizes and
diuresis ensues
15. Recovery Phase
ā¢ hematocrit stabilizes or may be lower due to dilutional
effect of reabsorbed fluid
ā¢ wbc starts to rise
ā¢ recovery of platelet count occurs later

17. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF PLASMA LEAKAGE IN SEVERE DENGUE :
Acute increase in vascular permeability ļ leakage of plasma into
the extravascular compartmentļ haemoconcentration and
hypovolaemia or shockļ reflex tachycardia and generalised
vasoconstriction due to increased sympathetic output.
Clinical manifestations of vasoconstriction : Skin - coolness, pallor
and delayed capillary refill time. CVS- raised diastolic blood pressure
and a narrowing of pulse pressure . Renal system - reducing urine
output. GI- persistent vomiting, persistent diarrhoea and
abdominal pain. CNSā lethargy, restlessness, apprehension,
reduced level of consciousness. RSā tachypnoea (respiratory rate
>20/min)
18. Approach to the Management
ā¢Triage
- Severe dengue
- With warning signs
-Non-urgent cases
20. Approach to the Management
Disease notification
ā¢ In dengue-endemic countries, cases of suspected, probable and
confirmed dengue should be notified
ā¢ suspected cases
ā¢ lives in or has travelled to a dengue-endemic area
ā¢ fever for three days or more
ā¢ low or decreasing white cell counts
ā¢ thrombocytopaenia Ā± positive tourniquet test.
21. Approach to the Management
Groups A
ā¢ may be sent
home
ā¢ tolerate
adequate
volumes of oral
fluids and pass
urine at least
once every 6
hours
ā¢ no warning signs
Groups B
ā¢ referred for in-
hospital
management
ā¢ with warning
signs, co-
existing
conditions,
Groups C
ā¢ require
emergency
treatment and
urgent referral
ā¢ severe
dengue (in
critical phase)
Management Decisions
22. Group A Action Plan
ā¢ Encourage intake of ORS, fruit juice and other fluids
ā¢ Paracetamol and tepid sponge for fever
ā¢ Advise to come back if with
no clinical improvement
severe abdominal pain
persistent vomiting
cold and clammy extremities,
lethargy or irritability or restlessness,
bleeding
not passing urine for more than 4ā6 hours.
monitor:
temperature pattern, volume of fluid intake and losses, urine output, warning
signs, signs of plasma leakage and bleeding, haematocrit, and white blood cell
and platelet counts
23. Group B (with warning signs)
Action Plan
ā¢ reference hematocrit before fluid therapy
ā¢ isotonic solutions
5ā7 ml/kg/hour for 1ā2 hours,
- then reduce to 3ā5 ml/kg/hr for 2ā4 hours,
- and then reduce to 2ā3 ml/kg/hr or less according to the clinical
response
reassess:
ā¢ haematocrit remains the same or rises only minimally ļ 2ā3
ml/kg/hr for another 2ā4 hours
ā¢ worsening vital signs and rising haematocrit rising ļ 5ā10
ml/kg/hour for 1ā2 hours
24. Group B (with warning signs)
Action Plan
Give minimum intravenous fluid volume: maintain good perfusion
and urine output of about 1 ml/kg/hr
ā¢ Intravenous fluids are usually needed for only 24ā48 hours.
ā¢ Reduce intravenous fluids gradually when the rate of plasma
leakage decreases towards the end of the critical phase.
monitor:
ā¢ vital signs and peripheral perfusion (1ā4 hourly until the
patient is out of the critical phase)
ā¢ urine output (4ā6 hourly)
ā¢ hematocrit (before and after fluid replacement, then 6ā12
hourly)
ā¢ blood glucose
ā¢ organ functions (renal profile, liver profile, coagulation profile)
25. Group B (without warning signs)
ā¢ Encourage oral fluids
ā¢ If not tolerated, start intravenous fluid therapy of 0.9% saline or
Ringerās lactate with or without dextrose at maintenance rate
Give the minimum volume required to maintain good
perfusion and urine output.
ā¢ Intravenous fluids are usually needed only for 24ā48
hours.
ā¢ Close monitoring
26. Group C Action Plan
ā¢ admit to a hospital with access to intensive care facilities and
blood transfusion
ā¢ plasma losses should be replaced immediately and rapidly with
isotonic crystalloid solution or, in the case of hypotensive shock,
colloid solutions
ā¢ blood transfusion: with suspected/severe bleeding
ā¢ judicious intravenous fluid resuscitation: sole intervention required
27. Group C Action Plan
Goals of fluid resuscitation:
ā¢ improving central and peripheral circulation
(decreasing tachycardia, improving BP, warm and pink
extremities, and capillary refill time <2 seconds)
ā¢improving end-organ perfusion
ā i.e. stable conscious level (more alert or less restless), urine output ā„
1 ml/kg/hour,
decreasing metabolic acidosis.
28. Common pitfalls in fluid therapy
ā¢ Treating patient with unnecessary fluid bolus based on raised
HCT as the sole parameter without considering other clinical
parameters.
ā¢ Excessive and prolonged fixed fluid regime in stable patients.
ā¢ Infrequent monitoring and adjustment of infusion rate.
ā¢ Continuation of intravenous fluid during the recovery phase.
ā¢ Inappropriate fluid therapy in patients with co-morbidities
(such as heart disease and renal disease).
34. Treatment of Hemorrhagic Complications
Patients at risk of major bleeding are those who:
ā¢ prolonged/refractory shock;
ā¢ hypotensive shock and renal or liver failure and/or severe and
persistent metabolic acidosis
ā¢given non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents
ā¢ pre-existing peptic ulcer disease
ā¢ anticoagulant therapy
ā¢ any form of trauma
35. Treatment of Hemorrhagic Complications
ā¢ Blood transfusion is life-saving and should be given as soon as
severe bleeding is suspected or recognized
ā¢ Do not wait for the haematocrit to drop too low before deciding on
blood transfusion
ā¢ Risk of fluid overload.
36. Treatment of Hemorrhagic Complications
ā¢ Blood transfusion :
ā¢ 10-15 ml/kg of PRBC or 10-20 ml/kg FWB
ā¢ repeat if with further blood loss or no rise in hematocrit after
transfusion
ā¢ little evidence to support transfusion of platelet concentrate and
FFP
ā¢ massive bleeding not managed by FWB/PRBC
ā¢ may exacerbate fluid overload
37. Complications
ā¢Fluid Overload
Causes:
ā excessive and/or too rapid intravenous fluids;
ā incorrect use of hypotonic rather than isotonic crystalloid
solutions;
ā inappropriate use of large volumes of intravenous fluids in
patients with unrecognized severe bleeding;
ā inappropriate transfusion of FFP, platelet concentrates and
cryoprecipitates;
ā continuation of IVF after plasma leakage has resolved
ā co-morbid conditions such as congenital heart disease, chronic
lung and renal diseases
39. ā¢When to discontinue IVF:
ā stable blood pressure, pulse and peripheral perfusion;
ā haematocrit decreases in the presence of a good pulse
volume;
ā afebrile for more than 24ā48 days (without the use of
antipyretics);
ā resolving bowel/abdominal symptoms;
ā improving urine output
ā¢If necessary, give oral or intravenous furosemide 0.1ā0.5
mg/kg/dose once or twice daily, or continuous infusion of
furosemide 0.1 mg/kg/hour.
40. ā¢ If the patient has stable haemodynamic status but is still within the
critical phase, reduce the intravenous fluid accordingly. Avoid
diuretics during the plasma leakage phase
ā¢ Patients who remain in shock with low or normal haematocrit
levels but show signs of fluid overload may have occult
haemorrhage.
ā¢ Careful fresh whole blood transfusion
ā¢ repeated small boluses
41. Criteria for Discharge
ā¢ Improved general well-being
ā¢ Afebrile for 24-48 hours
ā¢ Rising white cell count followed by platelet count
ā¢ Stable haematocrit
ā¢ Resolution/recovery of organ dysfunction

the classifi cation into levels of severity has a high potential for being of practical use in
the cliniciansā decision as to where and how intensively the patient should be observed
and treated (i.e. triage, which is particularly useful in outbreaks), in more consistent
reporting in the national and international surveillance system, and as an end-point
measure in dengue vaccine and drug trials.
Clinical features are indistinguishable bet wevere and non-severe dengue cases therefore monitoring for warning signs and other clinical parameters is crucial to recognizing progression to the critical phase
