Question 1

what are the abg results of a patient with dengue hemorrhagic fever?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If there is sepsis, the oxygen goes down and there could  be acidosis (low ph). Otherwise, the carrying capacity of oxygen goes down due to lysis of cells but the oxygen seen, the saturation, may be the same. If there is fever, a person breaths faster and the ph goes up and co2 goes down. In short, there is nothing specific attributable to dengue fever in abg.

Question 2

how can dengue hemorrhagic fever cause low bp?

Accepted Answer

Dengue: There are many mechanisms by which this could occur, including severe anemia induced by the intravascular hemolysis, renal failure, vascular collapse, dehydration and other mechanisms. You need to get a medical education to understand this fully, and don't think that this is place in which to obtain that.  Good luck.

Question 3

i had dengue hemorrhagic fever 5 years ago & my lymph nodes swelled. two have stayed swollen, squishy. dr says it's normal, checked. how?

Accepted Answer

Residual inflammatio: This is possibly scarring which has lead to the non-painful and swollen lymph nodes. If you have had this examined, and feel confident with the answers you received, then this is something to simply watch. If they change in any way, they should be evaluated.

Question 4

what are some supplements to prevent dengue / hemorrhagic fever?

Accepted Answer

None: There are no supplements, other than things that prevent mosquito bites.

Question 5

difference  between dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever?

Accepted Answer

Quite similar: Both conditions are caused by dengue virus. One is a milder form but the second one is more serious due to development of very low platelet counts which can lead to bleeding(that is why it is called hemorragic) and occasional fatalities due to shock(fluid leaks) or bleeding.

Question 6

what is treatment for dengue hemorrhagic fever?

Accepted Answer

Supportive care: "supportive care, " meaning there's no specific treatment against the virus. You focus on treating the complications of the illness until it resolves. This can require hospitalization, sometime in an intensive care unit.

Question 7

pathophysiology of dengue hemorrhagic fever, what is this?

Accepted Answer

Dengue Fever: Hemorrhagic fever is the most serious manifestation of dengue fever.  It can lead to circulatory failure and shock.  In it there's a plasma leakage syndrome with increased vascular permeability, platelet count less than 100, 000, fever lasing 2-7 days, and spontaneous bleeding with microvascular fragility. There may be small bruises (petechiae) in the skin all the way to profuse bleeding.

Question 8

is there a relation between kawasaki disease and dengue hemorrhagic fever?

Accepted Answer

No: Dengue hemorrhagic fever is caused by one of four different dengue viruses and it is transmitted by mosquitoes. The cause of kawasaki disease remains unknown. The symptoms and course of the diseases is also very different.

Question 9

how does dengue hemorrhagic fever lead to muscle pain?

Accepted Answer

Good question: I don't think the exact mechanism is known, but the body's immune response to the virus is responsible for most of the symptoms, . Including the "bone-breaking" pain. In the hemorrhagic fever form, the prior exposure has already created antibodies against the virus and their levels are higher, leading to the bleeding complications.

Question 10

how is bp affected from dengue hemorrhagic fever?

Accepted Answer

Low: Usually hypotensive with acute phase and variable otherwise.
