Abstract

Dengue fever is the most rapidly spreading mosquito-borne viral disease in the world. Dengue virus is transmitted by female mosquitoes mainly of the species Aedes aegypti. It is a self-limiting acute disease characterized by fever, headache, muscle & joint pains, rashes, nausea & vomiting.

Material & method: Study was done in 100 patients diagnosed as dengue fever and Ultrasonography of abdomen was performed in all patients. Out of 100 patients, Usg findings were,64% had gall bladder wall thickening,43% had ascites,32% had splenomegaly and 15% had Hepatomegaly. In areas where DF is epidemic, DF should be strongly considered in a febrile patient with gall bladder wall thickening, ascites, splenomegaly and/or Hepatomegaly.
