Role of Steroid in Complicated Dengue Fever Attending A Tertiary Care Hospital- A Therapeutic Challenge
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 11
Abstract
Pathogenesis of complicated dengue fever is poorly understood but there is evidence that immunoactivation plays important role behind the manifestations of severe dengue. Currently no definitive therapy is available for the management of severe dengue. In this study complicated dengue fever patients specially with ARDS and multiorgan failure were treated with steroid therapy and patients showed significant improvement. Thus this study states successful use of steroid in complicated dengue, a therapeutic challenge.
