Successful Pregnancy Outcome in a Case of Dengue with Eclampsia
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Malaria and dengue are one of the commonest vector borne diseases seen in India. While management of uncomplicated dengue is usually symptomatic severe disease like dengue shock syndrome and dengue hemorrhagic fever may require tertiary medical care. Pregnancy complicated by dengue hemorrhagic fever is not usually seen in obstetric practice but with increase in cases of dengue in child bearing age group this incidence is expected to rise. Proper and in-time management of such cases are important as delay in treatment may adversely affect fetal and maternal well-being. Pregnancy complicated by dengue is also dangerous because it increases the risk of premature delivery, adverse neonatal outcome and postpartum hemorrhage. We here report a case of 3rd gravida female with bad obstetric history who presented to us at 32 weeks of gestation with dengue hemorrhagic fever. This report emphasizes the complications of dengue infection in pregnancy. Early diagnosis, proper referral and immediate treatment are the key factors in the management of pregnancy complicated by dengue fever
