Dengue fever: atypical manifestation

Atypical manifestations of dengue fever.

We reviewed case records of 40 in-patients (22 boys) with serologically confirmed dengue fever between 1st October and 30th November, 2013. Severe dengue was seen in 30, out of which 12 (30%) had compensated shock. Splenomegaly (6,15%) and encephalopathy (4,10%) were the commonest atypical features. Atypical manifestations of dengue fever were more common than that reported in the past.

Acute Scrotal Edema: An Atypical Manifestation of Dengue.

Acute scrotal edema associated with dengue fever is a rare and self limiting condition resolving in a few days without any complication or sequelae. We report two cases of dengue fever in father and son which presented simultaneously with acute scrotal edema.

Cardiac tamponade presenting as early manifestation in dengue fever.

Dengue fever (DF) is an outbreak prone viral disease transmitted by aedes mosquitoes. It is often associated with evidence of plasma leakage due to increased vascular permeability manifested by pleural effusion, ascites, hypoproteinaemia and pericardial effusion. Cases of small pericardial effusion have been reported in association with dengue fever, largely with dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF)...

Dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever.

Continued geographic expansion of dengue viruses and their mosquito vectors has seen the magnitude and frequency of epidemic dengue/dengue hemorrhagic fever (DF/DHF) increase dramatically. More than 200,000,000 infections and over 2 million cases of DHF occur annually, and dengue is one of the most important emerging tropical diseases in the world. Its dramatically increased incidence and geogr...
