Management of dengue hemorrhagic fever in a secondary level hospital in Bangladesh : A case report
© 2020 Published by Elsevier Ltd..
Dengue is an important tropical infection caused by an arbovirus. As a mosquito borne infection, this disease is widely spread in several tropical endemic countries and this implies the global importance of this infection. In this specific case report, the author discussed the case management of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). A 42-year-old patient came to a secondary level hospital with complaints of diffuse abdominal pain (more in central region) continually for 3 days. Based on his clinical investigations the patient was diagnosed by DHF and managed with intravenously administered fluid resuscitation as he had a history of vomiting, close monitoring of vital status, and gave conservative treatment. Although, the plasma leakage had concerned the doctors about developing DSS. But after seeing his blood report, when the doctors found that the patient's platelet count was raised gradually and no other associated signs then they decided to give him discharge from the hospital. Prevention and control of dengue and DHF has become more urgent and the available vaccine is still limited. Hence, effective disease prevention programs, education of the medical community to ensure effective case management, community-based integrated mosquito control are necessary.
