What is dengue fever

First of all, dengue fever is an acute infectious disease caused by dengue virus and transmitted by Aedes. The clinical features were sudden onset, high fever, pain in muscles, bone marrow and joints, extreme fatigue, rash, bleeding tendency and lymphadenopathy in some patients. These symptoms are very obvious and can be found in time.

Secondly, the disease was found in Cairo, Egypt, Jakarta, Indonesia and Philadelphia, USA in 1779, and named joint fever and fracture fever according to the symptoms. It was named dengue fever by the Royal Society of internal medicine in London in 1869.

Finally: the white blood cells decreased immediately after the disease, and dropped to a low point (2 × 109 / L) on the fourth to fifth day. One week after the fever subsided, the white blood cells returned to normal, the classified neutrophils decreased, and the lymphocytes increased relatively. The toxic granules and nuclei moved to the left. Thrombocytopenia was found in 1 / 4 to 3 / 4 of the cases, with a minimum of 13 × 109 / L.

matters needing attention

In general, in the acute stage of treatment, patients should rest in bed and be given liquid or semi liquid diet. They should be isolated in the ward with anti mosquito equipment until the fever is completely relieved. When the disease is not effectively controlled, it is not recommended that patients get out of bed early.
