BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DISEASE

DENGUE HEMORRHAGIC FEVER
Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever is an infectious disease carried by mosquitoes and caused by any of four related dengue viruses. It
is a tropical disease caused by different strains of dengue virus which are transmitted by mosquitoes of the genus Aedes. It is an acute
infectious disease characterized by severe pain behind the eye and in the joints and bones and accompanied by an initial erythema and
a terminal rash of varying morphology. This disease is used to be called "break-bone" fever because it sometimes causes severe joint
and muscle pain that feels like bones are breaking. Occasionally, this condition is called Acute Infectious Thrombocytopenia Purpura.

Dengue [DEN-ghee] is a flu-like viral disease spread by the bite of infected mosquitoes. Dengue hemorrhagic fever is a severe,
often fatal, complication of dengue.

Dengue Fever – the type without significant hemorrhages

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever – those cases with gross hemorrhages and with etiologic agent identified; a severe illness endemic in most
of tropical Asia, characterized by abnormal vascular permeability, hypovolemia and abnormal blood clotting mechanism.

ETIOLOGY and EPIDEMIOLOGY

There are four serotypes of Dengue Virus (1,2,3 and 4 Group B Arbovirus). It has been reported that although antigenetically close to
each other, they may give only partial cross-protection, after being infected by any of them.

Three other Arbovirus: Chikungunya, O’nyong-nyong and West Nile Fever, have been identified with dengue-like diseases.

Dengue Fever is transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito. The viruses that cause it are maintained in a cycle that involves
humans and a domestic, day-biting mosquito that prefers to feed on humans. Once infected, a mosquito remains infective for life.

The dengue fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti) is dependent on humans and never lives more than 90 meters from dwellings, thus
guaranteeing her meals. The sound of her wings cannot be heard and she attacks from below or behind, e.g. underneath chairs and
mainly at the feet and ankles. This mosquito is domestic, day-biting with low and limited flying movements.
Transmission occurs by bite of Aedes aegypti female mosquitoes – the same vector of urban yellow fever – a day-active species with
low fly-autonomy that is abundant in and around human habitations. The females are very nervous feeders, disrupting the feeding
process at the slightest movement, only to return to the same or a different person to continue feeding moments later. Because of this
behavior the mosquito will often feed on several persons during a single blood meal and, if infective, may transmit the dengue virus to
many people in a short time. It is not uncommon to see several members of the same household become ill with dengue fever within a
24-36 hour frame, suggesting that a single infective mosquito infected all of them.

Sources:
1. Infected Persons- the virus is present in the blood of patients during the acute phase of the disease and will become a reservoir
of virus, accessible to mosquitoes which may then transmit the disease.
2. Stagnant water within the household and premises are the usual breeding places

Mode of transmission

By the bite of an infective Aedes Aegypti mosquito, viruses have been isolated from this mosquito during epidemic.

Factors which favor spread of infection

1. Water stored within the household for a long period of time or stagnant water within the premises .
2. High human population density; the more crowded the human population, the higher the infection rate.

Usual places of dissemination: Schools and Hospitals

Incidence
1. Age: the infection may occur at any age but it is common among school children with the peak between 4 and 6 years old.
2. Sex: both sexes equally affected.
3. Season: more frequent during rainy season or months.
4. Geographical: more prevalent in urban communities or localities.

CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
First 4 Days

The onset is sudden with hyperpyrexia (39˚ to 40˚) and headache.

The patient is flushed and acutely ill; the conjunctivae are injected; dry cough because throat appears also injected.
There is anorexia with nausea and vomiting; severe abdominal pain and tenderness.
Bigger children may complain of retrobulbar pain and body aches.
The liver may be enlarged.

4th-7th Days:

Hyperpyrexia persists and all the earlier symptoms increase.

The temperature often shows a biphasic curve.
The palms and soles are noticeably flushed
Tourniquet test is often positive (+) from the onset or after a few days.
Petechiae may be observed in pressure areas usually first on the face or distal portions of the extremities but sparing the axilla
and chest.

7th-10th Days:

The fever subsides

The limbs are cool and rash appears on the lower extremities, purplish or brownish motted appearance or violaceous red with
blanched areas about 1 cm or less in size.
The rashes last 2 to 3 days.
The face and hands appear edematous.
Pruritis may be present and at times is annoying.
There may be bradycardia during covalescence.
From this stage on the child begins to improve steadily.

Severe Manifestations:
Usually, the result of a second dengue viral infection.

CLASSIFICATION:
Severe, Frank type- with flushing, sudden high fever, severe hemorrhage, followed by sudden drop of temperature, shock and terminating in
recovery or death.

Moderate- with high fever, but less hemorrhage, no shock.

Mild- with slight fever, with or without petechial hemorrhage but epidemiologically related to typical cases usually discovered in the course of
investigation of typical cases.

INCUBATION PERIOD
Uncertain. Probably 6 days to one week.

PERIOD OF COMMUNICABILITY
 Man: 1 day before febrile period until the end of it
 Mosquito: 8-12 days after blood meal

RISK FACTOR
AGE
IMMUNOSUPPRESSED PATIENTS

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

 flu-like illness
high fever and chills
shaking
sweating
severe headaches
severe pain behind the eyes
extreme muscle and joint pains ( hence the name 'break-bone fever' )
generalized rash over the body
'bruising' and bleeding on the limbs, face and trunk of the affected person.

DIAGNOSTIC TEST
Blood test
Tourniquet test
Tourniquet test (Rumpel Leads Test)

 Inflate the blood pressure cuff on the upper arm to a point midway between the systolic and diastolic pressure for 5 minutes.
 Release cff and make an imaginary 2.5 cm square or 1 inch square just below the cuff, at the antecubital fossa.
 Count the number of petechiae inside the box.

*A test is positive when 20 or more petechiae per 2.5 cm square or 1 inch square are observed.

TREATMENT
There is no specific treatment for dengue. Persons with dengue fever should rest and drink plenty of fluids. They should be
kept away from mosquitoes for the protection of others. Dengue hemorrhagic fever is treated by replacing lost fluids. Some patients
need transfusions to control bleeding.
PREVENTION
1. MINIMIZE MOSQUITOES:
To minimize mosquito bites it is obvious that mosquito-prone areas (such as vessels holding water, discarded cans and
bottles, and old tire half submerged in swampy water) should be avoided.
2. UNDERSTAND THE BASIC BEHAVIOUR AND FEEDING HABITS OF THE MOSQUITO CARRIER. The adult
mosquito prefers to live indoors and feed on humans during 2 peaks of biting activity: early morning for 2-3 hours after
daybreak and in the afternoon several hours before dusk.
3. SCREEN OR AIR-CONDITION ROOMS
4. BURN MOSQUITO COILS in the immediate area. CARE is suggested here because breathing problems, or even asthma,
may rarely develop. Electric plug chemicals will also help to repel mosquitoes from a room.
5. AVOID PERFUMES : mosquitoes are attracted to scents.
6. WEAR LONG SLEEVES AND PANTS, AND AVOID DARK CLOTHES. Light colored clothing should cover the arms and
legs.
7. SPRAY A " KNOCK DOWN" INSECTICIDE in sleeping and living areas at dusk.
8. USE A SKIN-SPRAY INSECT REPELLENT. 80% DEET (N.N-diethyl-m- toluamide) may be used by adults, but should not
be applied to babies, and only sparingly (quick sprays, 2-3 in 24 hours) to children 6-24 months, because of the potential of
toxic effects. Children and pregnant women are recommended to use a natural insect repellent with citronella or eucalyptus
(available from WORLDWISE OnLINE).
9. PERMETHRIN is an insecticide that can be used to soak mosquito nets and protective clothing
ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

.BLOOD

-Is a specialized bodily fluid that is composed of a liquid called blood plasma and blood cells suspended within the plasma.

Plasma

-is the liquid component of blood, in which the blood cells are suspended.

-It makes up about 55% of total blood volume.

Blood Cells

-is any cell of any type normally found in blood. These fall into three general categories:
 Red blood cells
 White blood cells
 Platelets
  is circulated around the body through blood vessels by the pumping action of the heart.
 hematopoiesis is the process of blood formation, which primarily occurs in the red bone marrow (skull, pelvis, ribs, sternum &
proximal epiphyses of the humerus & femur.

BONE MARROW

-is the site of hematopoeisis,or blood cell formation. All skeletal bones are involved in children, but as children age, marrow
activity is usually limited to the pelvis,ribs,vertebrae, and sternum in adults. Marrow is one of the largest organs of the body, making
up to 4% to 5% total body weight. The marrow is highly vascular. Within it are primitive cells called stem cells. The stem cells have
the ability to self replicate, thereby ensuring a contnuous supply throughout the life cycle. When stimulated to do so, stem cells can
begin a process of differentiation into either myeloid or lymphoid stem cells. These stem cells are committed to produce specific types
of blood cells. Lymphoid stem cells produce either T or B lymphocytes. Myeloid stem cells differentiate into three broad cell types:
erythrocytes, luekocytes, and platelets.

A. RED BLOOD CELL

  are the most common type of blood cell
 also known as RBCs, or erythrocytes
 function primarily to carry oxygen in blood to all cells of the body
 are small shaped like biconcave disk
 diameter of a typical human erythrocyte disk is 6–8 µm
 women have about 4 to 5 million erythrocytes per microliter (cubic millimeter) of blood
Fig. 1.2-  men about 5 to 6 million
 Erythropoiesis is the process by which red blood cells are produced
Stimulus: ↓ RBC count, ↓
Decrease oxygen Kidney releases
oxygen availability/ ↑
level in blood eryhtropoietin
tissue demand for oxygen

Erythropoietin stimulates
red bone marrow to
enhance erythropoiesis
 Erythrocytes develop from committed stem cells through reticulocytes to mature erythrocytes
in about 7 days and live a total of about 120 days.
 aging erythrocyte undergoes changes in its plasma membrane, making it susceptible to
recognition by phagocytes and subsequent phagocytosis in the spleen & liver.

B. LEUKOCYTES

LEUKOCYTES or white blood cells are far less numerous than red blood cells they are
crucial to body defense against disease. White blood cells are the only complete in the blood that is
they contain nuclei and the usual organelles. Leukocytes form a protective movable army that helps
defend the body against damage the bacteria, virus’s parasites and tumors cells. The circulatory system are simply their means of
transportation to areas of he body where their services are needed in the inflammatory and immune response.

GRANULOCYTES are granule containing WBCs. They have lobed nuclei w/ typically consist of several rounded nuclear areas
connected by thin strands of nuclear material. The granules in their cytoplasm stain specifically w/ Wright stain. The granulocytes
include the nuetroplis, eosinophils, and basophils.
Fig. 1.3-
a. Viscosity - blood is more viscous than water. Changing the % of cells, cellular fragments, plasma proteins orLeukocytes
other dissolved
substances changes the viscosity. Viscosity is increased if either the plasma (fluid) is decreased (ex. during dehydration) or if
the substances within the blood are increased (ex. polycythemia)
b. Concentration the cells (red blood cells and white blood cells) that are dissolved within the plasma are dependent on the
concentration of the plasma because water is free to move into or out of the cell by osmosis. Normally, the plasma is isotonic
to the cells. If however, the plasma becomes hypertonic, the cells will lose water and shrink. A process called crenation. If
the plasma becomes hypotonic, the cells will take on water and swell. If they take on too much water, they could burst. A
process called hemolysis. Maintaining plasma concentration is essential for the integrity of these cells.
c. Volume - A typical female has 4-5 liters of blood and a typical male has 5-6 liters of blood. Maintaining blood volume is
essential in maintaining blood pressure. If blood pressure drops below a critical level, blood delivery throughout the body is
impaired and death is probable.
d. pH - plasma proteins, like all proteins of the body, have a 3-dimensional shape that is dependent on the correct amount of
hydrogen (and hydroxyl) ions being present. If the pH is altered from the normal value of 7.35-7.45, the plasma proteins lose
their 3-D shape and are denatured and unable to carry out their functions.
e. Temperature - the enzymes of the body are responsible for all of the chemical changes that occur. The function of enzymes to
work properly is dependent on temperature. Enzymes work efficiently at body temperature. Below body temperature, the
enzymes work more slowly. They can slow down enough to not be able to meet the needs of the body. If the temperature
rises, the enzymes will work more efficiently but, if the temperature is raised too high (106 or so) they are denatured, resulting
in brain damage and perhaps death. The function of the blood is to pass through the hypothalamus of the brain to be monitored
for temperature. If blood temperature is too high or too low, homeostatic mechanisms are initiated to reestablish normal body
temperature

C. PLATELETS
 a. Platelets are not cells, they are fragments of bizarre multinucleated cells called megakaryocytes, which rupture,
releasing thousands of anucleated “pieces” that quickly seal themselves off from surrounding fluids.
b. Appear as dark staining irregulary shape body scattered among the other blood cells.

II. Circulatory system

 The circulatory system (or cardiovascular system) is an organ system that moves nutrients, gases, and wastes to and from cells,
helps fight diseases and helps stabilize body temperature and pH to maintain homeostasis.
 The main components of the human circulatory system are the heart, the blood, and the blood vessels.
 The circulatory system includes: the pulmonary circulation, a "loop" through the lungs where blood is oxygenated; and the
systemic circulation, a "loop" through the rest of the body to provide oxygenated blood.

A. Systemic circulation
 Systemic circulation is the portion of the cardiovascular system which carries oxygenated blood away from the heart, to
the body, and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart.

B. Pulmonary circulation

 Pulmonary circulation is the portion of the cardiovascular system which carries oxygen-depleted blood away from the
heart, to the lungs, and returns oxygenated blood back to the heart.

C. Coronary circulation

 The Coronary circulatory system provides a blood supply to the heart.

LIVER
 is the largest internal organ in the human body
 normally weighs between 1.4 - 1.6 kilograms
 it is a soft, pinkish-brown organ.
  It is located on the right side of the upper abdomen below the diaphragm.
 The liver lies to the right of the stomach and overlies the gallbladder

Plasma proteins are mainly produced by the liver. These include:

Albumin - the main function of albumin is to increase the osmotic force in the blood. This osmotic force is responsible for drawing
fluids into the bloodstream in order to maintain blood volume (and thus blood pressure). If albumin levels increase, more fluid is
drawn into the blood and normal blood volumes are increased (and thus blood pressure is increased). If albumin levels are decreased
(say due to liver damage and the liver is not producing enough or there is kidney damage and albumin is being lost from the body),
less fluid is drawn into the blood and normal blood volume is decreased (and thus blood pressure is decreased).
Clotting proteins - the liver is responsible for making the many proteins associated with blood clotting including fibrinogen,
plasminogen, clotting factors etc). These must be maintained at proper levels for properly functioning coagulation.
Alpha and beta globulin - proteins responsible for carrying non-soluble lipids in the blood.
Gamma globulins - These proteins, also called antibodies, are NOT made by the liver.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
LABORATORY RESULTS

HEMATOLOGY

-is a series of tests used to evaluate the composition and concentration of the cellular component of blood
 - this Lab. Study is also indicated to know any suspected anemia and the response to the treatment, blood loss and the response
to blood replacement.

 Elevated RBC’s suggest inadequate tissue oxygenation. Hypoxia stimulates renal secretion of erythropoetin. This stimulates
the bone marrow to increase the RBC production.
 Elevated WBC’s may indicate infectious heart diseases and myocardial infarction.
Hematocrit is the ratio between the RBC and the Plasma.
-Decreased in severe anemias, anemia of pregnancy, acute massive blood loss.
-Increased in erythrocytosis of any cause, and in dehydration or hematoconcentration associated with shock.
Hemoglobin
-Decreased in various anemias, pregnancy, severe or prolonged hemorrhage, and with excessive fluid intake.
-Increased in polycythemia, COPD, failure of oxygeb because of heart failure, and normally in people living in high altitudes.
