- Dengue: ssRNA flavivirus, 4 serotypes, Aedes aegypti / albopictus vector
- ADE: 2nd infection different serotype = severe risk (sub-neutralizing Ab + Fc entry)
- Phases: febrile (1-3 d, high fever + bone pain) â critical (4-7 d, plasma leakage) â recovery (7-10 d, fluid reabsorption)
- Warning Signs: abdominal pain, vomiting, plasma leakage, bleeding, lethargy, hepatomegaly, â Hct + â platelets
- Severe Dengue: plasma leakage (DSS), bleeding, organ failure
- Dx: NS1 antigen (early) + PCR (acute) + IgM (after day 3-5) + IgG (paired)
- Tx: supportive + fluid management (no antiviral)
- NO NSAIDs / aspirin (bleeding)
- NO routine steroid (no benefit)
- NO platelet transfusion unless active bleeding (even at very low counts)
- Vaccines: Dengvaxia (seropositive only, controversial) + Qdenga (broader 2022, WHO prequalified 2024)
- Vector control + DEET + bed nets = prevention
- Taiwan endemic every 2-3 yr outbreaks; 2023 record ~ 40K cases
- 2024 Americas record outbreak â climate change driving expansion
- Differential: chikungunya (severe arthralgia), Zika (microcephaly + GBS), leptospirosis, malaria
