starts just before onset of symptoms
lasts 5 days
Symptomatic time for DF
3 - 10 d
Describe clinical illness vs viremia in duration
clinical lasts longer than viremia
another name for Dengue
breakbone fever
clinical case def of dengue
DF is acute febrile viral dx w/ ha, bone/joint pain/mm pain/rash and LEUCOPENIA!
clinical case def for DHF
1 fever or hx of acute fever
2 hemorrhagic manifestations
3 low platelet count (100K/mm3 or less) - 300 norm
4 obj evidence of 'leaky capillaries'
How are leaky capillaries determined?
elevated hematocrit - 20% > over baseline
low albumin
pleural effusions
WHO GRADES OF DHF - 4
1 F/NONSPECIFIC CONST SYMPTOMS - + TOURNIQUE TEST/SCATTERED PETECHIAE
2 GRADE 1 + spont bleeding
3 signs circulatory failure
4 profound shock
what is criteria for pos tourniquet test
20 or > petechiae/1 inch2
what do you use for tourniquet test and how long and where placed?
BP cuff/half way bet sys and dys for 5 min
Pleaural effusion index
PEI = A/B x 100
DANGER SIGNS IN DHF
abd pain - intense
persistent vomiting
abrupt change fever - hypotherm
restlessness or somnolence
first sign of intravascular volume depletion
delayed cap refill
what is a late sign in children in DHF
hypotension
CLINICAL DEF OF DENGUE SHOCK SYNDROME
4DHF criteria +
1 circulatory failure
a rapid/weak pulse
b narrow pulse P or hypoT for age
c cold/clammy skin and altered mental state
FRANK SHOCK IS EVIDENCE OF CIRCULATORY FAILURE
DIC in Dengue
child w DHF or DSS may be hypoT w DIC
TX for DIC infant
Crystalloid fluid resuscitation and DIC tx critical
PATHOGENESIS OF DENGUE
1 no X preotect btw serotypes
2 pop can have D-1 one year/D-2 next
3 most inf cause debilitating but nonfatal illness
4 some kids get severe/fatal form called DHF or DSS
5 Boosting of ABY rxn after 1st
important concept in Aby boosting
presence of aby to one serotype of DV is believed to facilitate occurrence of DHF/DSS in certain individuals through immune-enhancement when infected by a second serotype -even after 20 years
What is hyperendemic transmission
higher risk in locations with 2 or more serotypes circulating simultaneously at high levels
WHAT IS ANTIBODY-ENHANCEMENT AND ITS IMPORTANCE
ADE - PROCESS CERTAIN STRAINS OF DV, COMPLEXED WITH NON-NEUTRALIZING ABYS, CAN ENTER > CELLS OF MONO LINEAGE, INC VIRUS PROD.
DESCRIBE INFECTED MONOCYTES ACTIVITY
RELEASE VASOACTIVE MEDIATORS, = INC VASCULAR PERMEABIOLITY & HEMORRHAGIC MANIFEST = DHF & DSS
DESCRIBE NEUTRALIZING ABYS EFFECTIVENESS

1 most cases self limited
2 DHF can occur in primary inf with certain genetic strains of virus
3 Pre-existing anti-dengue aby - MA or previous inf
4 host genetics -race may be factor
5 Age - SEA - kids/Americas - all ages
WHAT STRAINS BIGGEST RISK FOR DHF?
DEN-2, DEN-3, DEN-4 THEN DEN-1
Second inf w Type 2 = highest risk for DHF

FLUORESCENT CELLS
OUTPATIENT TRIAGE
Go home if: no Hem mani/well hydrate
Hosp or Outpt obs: hemorrhage mani or hydration borderline
Hospitalized for sure: warning signs, DSS
EARLY WARNING SIGNS
how many days since symptom onset?
DSS usually seen in 3-6 days after onset symptoms:SEVEN DAYS MEANS WORST IS PROBABLY OVER!
FEVER WARNING SIGNS
If fever is btw 3 and 6 days after symptoms began, warning sign!
Shock often occurs at or around fever
OTHER WARNING SIGNS
Drop in Platelet count, inc in hematocrit, or other signs of plasma leakage
What do HEMOCONCENTRATION AND THROMBOCYTOPENIA mean for patient?
If meets criteria for DHF, pt's risk category has changed. DF is rarely fatal, but DHF has > proportion of fatality
DANGER SIGNS
severe abdominal pain
change in mental status
V
abrupt change from Fever to hypotherm -SIGNAL ONSET DSS
WHAT IS GOAL OF TREATMENT
PREVENT SHOCK, SUPPORT PT THRU PLASMA LEAKAGE AS WILL RESOLVE
PATIENT FOLLOW-UP
1 Pts @ home
danger signs, repeat clinical eval
2 Pts w/ bleeding manifestations
serial hematcri/pltlet daily until
temp normal for 2 days
3 All Pts
if blood sample in 1st 5 days
need convalescent day 6-30
all hosp pts need samples on adm & at discharge
TREATMENT DENGUE
Fluids
Rest
Antipyretics (no aspirin or NSIDS!)
Monitor BP,Hemat, Pl count, consciousness level
Is the patient out of the woods once fever subsides?
No, monitor for at least 24-48 hours following fever. if doubt, fluids, monitor bp, urine output, hemotocrit
What are common Misconceptions about Dengue HF
1 pediatric dx - all ages get it
2 dengue + bleeding = DHF - need 4
WHO criteria, cap permeability
3 DHF kills only by hem - pt dies
due to shock
4 poor mgmt turns DF into DHF - DHF is distinct condition, even well treated pts can get it.
5 + tourniquet test = DHF
tests indicates cap fragility only
