Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 9
Abstract
Background and Objective: Dengue, a mosquito –borne arboviral illness, may present with many atypical manifestations. Methods: Children ( 0-12 years of age) admitted into Pediatric Intensive care unit of a tertiary care hospital Kolkata, between the 1st August 2016 to 30th November 2016, diagnosed and confirmed as dengue fever following revised a WHO guideline, were reviewed retrospectively. Atypical manifestations were noted and analyzed. Results: Atypical manifestations were found in 61.11% of cases. Those were increased level of hepatic transaminases (22.22.% ), acute respiratory distress syndrome (5.56%), pulmonary hemorrhage (16.67%), acalculus cholecystis (16.67%), acute pancreatitis(5.56%), acute renal failure (5.56%), myocarditis (5.56%), intracranial hemorrhage (5.56%) and cerebral demyelination (5.56%). Overall survival was 77.78%. Conclusions: Atypical manifestations in dengue, though rare, could be present along with the classical manifestations. A high index of suspicion and vigilance can lead to an early and prompt diagnosis and appropriate management for the life threatening disease.
