The Agent• Arbovirus (ss RNA Virus)• Genus Flavivirus• Family Flaviviraede• 4 serotypes- DENV 1, DENV 2, DENV 3& DENV 4• Micro evolution: Many virulent genotypes are evolving to replace non virulent genotypes
• Antigenic similarity but infection with one serotype does not provide lifelong immunity for other serotypes (Cross Immunity lasts only a few months),
• …Instead prior immune sensitization worsens the disease scenario
![Page 4: Dengue epidemiology& case management](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/53fed92e8d7f72965c8b46bc/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
DENV Has…
• A lipoprotein envelope
• 3 structural protein genes encoding: {CME}• Nucleocapsid or core protein (C), • Membrane- associated protein (M), • Envelope protein (E), and
• 7 non-structural protein (NS) genes including, envelope glycoprotein, NS 1
• NS 1 is of diagnostic and pathological importance.
• It is associated with viral haemagglutination and neutralization activity.

The Host• Infective Stage: 1 day before onset of fever to day 5• Intrinsic Incubation Period: 4- 6 days• High Risk Patients:
• Extremes of Age• Pregnancy• Any condition prone to heavy blood loss: Peptic ulcer disease; menstruation; haemolytic anaemia; G- 6PD deficiencies; thalassemia; patients on steroids, NSAIDS
• Any chronic condition: DM, HTn, Asthma, Cirrhosis, IHD, CRF

An Epidemic, Endemic& Hyper Endemic
South- East Asia is divided into 3 Categories:
• Cat A: India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Sri Lanka,
Indonesia, Thailand, Maldives
• Cat B: Bhutan, Nepal
• Cat C: DPR Korea
![Page 18: Dengue epidemiology& case management](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/53fed92e8d7f72965c8b46bc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Global Warming
• 2 degree rise in temp- • Shortens extrinsic IP- more infected mosquitos to further spread DENV
• Enhances the life cycle of Aedes• Shortens the size of the mosquito• Rise in temp- mosquito bites more frequently due to “dehydration”- further spreads DENV
![Page 19: Dengue epidemiology& case management](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/53fed92e8d7f72965c8b46bc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The Vector
• Ae albopictus Eggs Survive Sub Freezing Temp• Ae aegypti- Cosmo tropical species between latitudes 45°N and 35°S
• Vector Competency• Vector Capacity• Transovarial Spread• Endophagic, Endophilic• 16- 35 °C, 60- 80% Relative Humidity
![Page 20: Dengue epidemiology& case management](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/53fed92e8d7f72965c8b46bc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Vector Competency
• High susceptibility to infecting virus• Ability to replicate the virus• Ability to transmit the virus to another host• Both Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus carry high vectorial
competency for dengue viruses.
![Page 21: Dengue epidemiology& case management](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/53fed92e8d7f72965c8b46bc/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Vectorial Capacity: Depends on the Environmental and Biological characteristics of the Vector
Ae. aegypti• Highly domesticated• Strongly anthropophilic• Nervous feeder (i.e. it bites more than one
host to complete one blood meal) and • Discordant species (i.e. it needs more
than one feed for the completion of the gonotropic cycle)
• These habits epidemiologically result in the generation of multiple cases and the clustering of dengue cases in cities.
Ae. albopictus• Feral• Feeds on both humans and animals• Aggressive feeder (i.e. it can
complete its blood meal in one go on one person)
• Concordant species (does not require a second blood meal for the completion of the gonotropic cycle)
• So, Ae. albopictus has poor vectorial capacity.

Undifferentiated Fever
• Primary dengue infection
• May develop a simple fever indistinguishable from other
viral infections.
• Maculopapular or rubelliform rashes on face, neck and
chest may accompany the fever or may appear during
defervescence (Day 3-5)
• URTI and GI symptoms are common
![Page 28: Dengue epidemiology& case management](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/53fed92e8d7f72965c8b46bc/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Dengue Fever• Older children, adolescents and adults• Acute (Sudden, sharp) rise in temperature (39°C- 40°C) for 5- 7 days• Biphasic fever with severe headache, myalgia, arthralgia and bone pains (break-
bone fever), particularly in adults• Rashes, flushed face, retro-orbital pain on eye movement or eye pressure,
photophobia• Altered taste sensation, Anorexia, Sore throat, Dragging pain in inguinal region• Leukopenia and thrombocytopenia- mild• Occasionally, Haemorrhage such as gastrointestinal bleeding, hyper menorrhea,
massive epistaxis (DF with Hmrgh)

Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF)• Children less than 15 years of age in hyper endemic areas, in association with repeated
dengue infections (secondary dengue infection). Incidence of DHF in adults is increasing
• Rarely DHF may occur in Primary infections with DENV-1 and DENV-3 as well as in infants.
• Signs and symptoms similar to DF in the early febrile phase.
• Pale islands in red sea
• Positive tourniquet test (TT), petechiae on extremities, easy bruising and/or GI haemorrhage
• Abnormal haemostasis and plasma leakage are the main pathophysiological hallmarks of DHF
• Thrombocytopenia and rising haematocrit/haemo concentration before the subsidence of fever/ onset of shock.

Warning Signs That May Occur At Or After Defervescence (The Presence Of One Or More Of These Signs Indicates
The Need For Immediate Medical Evaluation):• Abdominal pain or tenderness• Persistent vomiting• Clinical fluid accumulation (i.e., Pleural effusion or ascites)• Mucosal bleeding• Lethargy or irritability, restlessness• Oliguria • Postural Hypotension• Liver enlargement (≥2cm)• Increases in haematocrit concurrent with rapid decrease in platelet count
![Page 32: Dengue epidemiology& case management](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/53fed92e8d7f72965c8b46bc/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS)
• Hypovolemic shock due to plasma leakage
• Pleural effusion, Ascites (plasma leakage to pleural&
peritoneal cavities)
• Hypothermia- Cold clammy skin
• I C Bleeding
• Fulminant hepatic failure
• Optimal fluid management is important- Avoid over
hydration
![Page 33: Dengue epidemiology& case management](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/53fed92e8d7f72965c8b46bc/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
DSS
• Is of short duration (12- 24 hrs), But can be fatal
• Patient is conscious till stage 4 of the shock (BP not recordable)
• Usually SBP falls late, but pulse pressure (SBP-DBP)
deteriorates much earlier ≤ 20 mmHg
• If prolonged, Shock causes metabolic acidosis and multi organ
failure
![Page 34: Dengue epidemiology& case management](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/53fed92e8d7f72965c8b46bc/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Expanded Dengue Syndrome
• Severe organ involvement such as liver, kidneys, brain or
heart +/- evidence of plasma leakage
• May be associated with co- infections, comorbidities or
complications of prolonged shock

Case Management• During an epidemic, every hospital should have Dengue Triage Facility.
• High risk Cases should be screened in the special Dengue OPD, on the
basis of history of any bleeding episodes, presence of warning signs,
spread of dengue infection in the neighbourhood along with fever.
• All these cases should be lab investigated
• On confirmation they need to be observed and managed in a Special
Dengue Wards
• All dengue cases must be notified as soon as possible
![Page 42: Dengue epidemiology& case management](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/53fed92e8d7f72965c8b46bc/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Management of Dengue Cases
• Fluid Intake- Oral or IV.
• ORS and fruit juices Better than water
• Antipyretics- PCM.
• AVOID ASPIRIN (May cause Rye’s Syndrome); other NSAIDS, e.g.
IBUPROFEN (these may cause gastric bleeding)
• Monitor for warning signs
• Daily check PCV from Day 3 of fever till Day 2 after fever
![Page 44: Dengue epidemiology& case management](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/53fed92e8d7f72965c8b46bc/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Indications of Red Cell Transfusion
1. Loss of blood (Overt blood loss)- 10% or more of total
blood volume- give whole blood
2. Refractory shock despite adequate fluid administration
and declining PCV
3. Replacement Volume should be 10ml/ kg
4. Coagulogram should be done
5. If fluid overload happens, give packed cells
![Page 45: Dengue epidemiology& case management](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/53fed92e8d7f72965c8b46bc/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Indication of Platelet Transfusion
• There is no need to give prophylactic platelets even at <20, 000/ cumm
• Prophylactic platelets should be given at levels <10, 000/ cumm
• Prolonged shock with coagulopathy and abnormal coagulogram
• If systemic massive bleeding, platelet transfusion may be needed in addition to red cell transfusion
![Page 46: Dengue epidemiology& case management](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/53fed92e8d7f72965c8b46bc/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Criteria for Discharge of the Patient
• Absence of fever for >24hr (without the use of antipyretics)
• Return of appetite
• Good urine output
• Visible clinical improvement
• Minimum 2- 3 days after recovery from shock
• No respiratory distress (due to pleural effusion or ascites)
• Platelet count > 50, 000/ cumm
