INTRODUCTION Dengue is a self limiting acute mosquito

transmitted disease characterized by fever , headache, muscle, joint pains, rash, nausea and vomiting.

The dengue viruses are the members of the genus flavi virus. There are four virus serotypes of which DEN1 and DEN2 widespread in India.

Dengue viruses are transmitted by the bite of female Aedes (Ae) mosquitoes. other species such as Ae albopictus, Ae. polynesiensis and Ae. Niveus may also transmit dengue.

Page 3: dengue diagnosis and management

All ages and both sexes are susceptible to dengue fever .

Infected person can transmit the virus to the mosquito 1 day before onset of febrile episode and remain infectious for next 6-7 days.

Migration of patient during viremia to a non endemic area may introduce it into the area.

CLINICAL CLASSIFICATION (old)

1. Dengue Fever : An acute febrile illness of 2-7 days

duration with two or more of the following manifestations:

Headache, retro-orbital pain, myalgia, arthralgia, rash, haemorrhagic manifestations.

Page 5: dengue diagnosis and management

2. Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever : a). A probable or confirmed case of dengue PLUS b). Haemorrhagic tendencies evidenced by one or more of the following –

Positive tourniquet test. Petechiae, ecchymoses or purpura. Bleeding from mucosa, gastrointestinal tract, injection sites or other sites. Haematemesis or malena PLUS

Page 6: dengue diagnosis and management

c). Thrombocytopenia (<100,000 cells per cumm) PLUS d). Evidence of plasma leakage

A rise in average haematocrit for age and sex >/= 20%. A more than 20% drop in haematocrit following volume replacement treatment compared to baseline. Signs of plasma leakage (pleural effusion, ascites , hypoproteinemia).

Page 7: dengue diagnosis and management

3. Dengue Shock Syndrome :

All the above criteria for DHF

PLUS Evidence of circulatory failure manifested

by rapid and weak pulse and narrow pulse pressure (<20 mm Hg) or hypotension for age, cold and clammy skin and restlessness.

Page 8: dengue diagnosis and management

• Grading of Dengue Fever• DF : Fever of 2-7 days with two or more of the

following:• Headache• Retro orbital pain• Myalgia• Arthralgia with or without leukopenia• Thrombocytopenia

and no evidence of plasma leakage• DHF I: above criteria plus tourniquet test and

evidence of plasma leakage. Thrombocytopenia with platelet count less than 100000/ cumm and Hct rise more than 20% over baseline.

Page 9: dengue diagnosis and management

• Grading of Dengue Fever(contd)• DHF II : above plus some evidence of

spontaneous bleeding in skin or other organs (black tarry stool, epistaxis, gum bleeds) and abdominal pain. Thrombocytopenia with platelet count less than 100000/ cumm and Hct rise more than 20% over baseline.

• DHF III (DSS): Above plus circulatory failure. Thrombocytopenia with platelet count less than 100000/ cumm and Hct rise more than 20% over baseline.

Page 10: dengue diagnosis and management

• Grading of Dengue Fever(contd.)• DHF IV : Profound shock with undetectable

blood pressure or pulse. Thrombocytopenia with platelet count less than 100000/ cumm and Hct rise more than 20% over baseline.

Page 11: dengue diagnosis and management

THE TOURNIQUET TEST Is performed by inflating a blood pressure cuff to a

midpoint between the systolic and diastolic pressure for five minutes. The test is considered positive when 10 or more petechiae per square inch over the forearm.

• In DHF , the test usually gives a definite positive test with 20 petechiae or more.

• The test may be negative or only mildly positive during the phase of profound shock (DSS). If tourniquet test is found negative it should be repeated.

• Early diagnosis of disease and admission of DHF patients in hospitals are important in order to reduce case fatality rates.

PATHOGENESIS Binding of the new virus to cross reactive non

neutralising antibody from the previous infection or passively acquired antibodies in infant facilitating the uptake by mononuclear phagocytes

This enable amplified viral replication (ADE)the resulting increase in viral load then drives an immuno pathogenic cascade.

The resultant exaggerated cytokine response leads to a transient increase microvascular permeability as well as activation of the coagulating system.

Page 14: dengue diagnosis and management

Page 16: dengue diagnosis and management

THE COURSE OF DENGUE ILLNESSFebrile phase— High-grade fever for 2-7 days with facial flushing, skin

erythema, generalized body ache, myalgia, arthralgia and headache.

Some patients may have sore throat, injected pharynx and conjunctival injection, Anorexia, nausea and vomiting

Rash may be seen on the 3rd or 4th day which may be rubelliform or maculopapular in nature.

difficult to distinguish dengue clinically from non-dengue febrile diseases.

clinical features are indistinguishable between severe and non-severe dengue cases.

Page 17: dengue diagnosis and management

Critical phaseTemperature drops, Increase capillary permeability in parallel with

increasing haematocrit levels.significant plasma leakage usually lasts 24–48

hours. Progressive leukopenia followed by a rapid decrease in platelet count usually precedes plasma leakage.

Pleural effusion and ascites may be clinically detectable depending on the degree of plasma leakage and the volume of fluid therapy.

Page 18: dengue diagnosis and management

Shock occurs when a critical volume of plasma is lost. It is often preceded by warning signs.

Mild haemorrhagic manifestations like petechiae and mucosal membrane bleeding may occurs. Massive bleeding may occur but not common.

With prolonged shock progressive organ impairment, metabolic acidosis and DIC may occurs.

Page 19: dengue diagnosis and management

Severe organ impairment such as severe hepatitis, encephalitis or myocarditis and/or severe bleeding may also develop without obvious plasma leakage or shock.

Those who improve after defervescence are said to have non-severe dengue. Those who deteriorate will manifest with warning signs. This is called dengue with warning signs. Some cases will deteriorate to severe dengue.

Page 20: dengue diagnosis and management

Recovery phase A gradual reabsorption of extravascular compartment

fluid takes place in 2-3 days. General well-being, improves appetite returns,

gastrointestinal symptoms abate, haemodynamic status stabilizes and diuresis ensues. Some patients may have a rash of “isles of white in the sea of red’’.

Massive pleural effusion, Ascites, pulmonary edema or CCF may occur at any time if excessive intravenous fluids have been administered.

The haematocrit stabilizes, White blood cell count usually starts to rise but the recovery of platelet count is typically later.

APPROACH TO THE MANAGEMENT OF

DENGUE

Page 25: dengue diagnosis and management

Step I—Overall assessmentHistory-- The history should include: date of onset of fever/illness; quantity of oral intake; assessment for warning signs. diarrhoea; seroconversion illness.

Page 26: dengue diagnosis and management

change in mental state/seizure/dizziness; urine output (frequency, volume and time of last

voiding); Other relevant histories,--- such as family or

neighbourhood dengue, travel to dengue endemic areas, co-existing conditions e.g. infancy,

Page 27: dengue diagnosis and management

Physical examination-- should include:assessment of mental state;assessment of hydration status;assessment of haemodynamic status checking for tachypnoea/acidotic

breathing/pleural effusion;checking for abdominal

tenderness/hepatomegaly/ascites;examination for rash and bleeding

manifestations;tourniquet test (repeat if previously negative or if

there is no bleeding manifestation).

Page 28: dengue diagnosis and management

INVESTIGATIONComplete blood count- Hb, TC, DLC, Platelet,

haematocrit, PBS studyA drop of platelet count <100000 cells/cumm usullay

found inbetween 3-10 days of illness.A rise of haematocrit occurs in critcal phase

particularly in shock cases. Increase by 20% or more is objective evidence of plasma leakage. Haematocrit may become normal or decrease if there is haemorrhage.

There is drop in tolal number of WBC and neutrophil with relative lymphocytosis and increase atypical lymphocyte towards the end of febrile phase.

Page 29: dengue diagnosis and management

Additional tests when indicated include Liver function test—transaminase leve may be mildly elevated. Coagulation profile Both APTT and PT may be prolong in severe haemorrhagic manifestation. Low fibrinogen and elevated fibrin degradation product levels are signs of DIC.Urea creatinine and serum electrolyte— ( Na+ K+ Ca2+ Bicaronate), lactate BUN is elevated in prolong shock. Hyponatremia is most common electrolyte abnormality in DHS and DSS. Hypocalcemia.

Page 30: dengue diagnosis and management

Stool for occult blood-guaiac test. Hypoalbuminaemia Blood sugar. Cardiac enzyme and ECG Urine specific gravity. Chest x ray and USG.

Page 31: dengue diagnosis and management

Laboratory tests to confirm the diagnosis. Virus isolationViral nucleic acid detection(RT PCR).NS1 antigen detection-Serology Haemoagglutination test.Complement fixation testNeutralization testIgM capture-(MAC ELISA), Indirect IgG ELISA

Within 5 days of illness

After 5 days of illness

Page 32: dengue diagnosis and management
Page 33: dengue diagnosis and management

During the early stages of the disease, virus isolation, nucleic acid or antigen detection can be used to diagnose the infection.

At the end of the acute phase of infection, serology is the method of choice for diagnosis.

To distinguish primary and secondary dengue infections, IgM/IgG antibody ratios are now more commonly used than the haemagglutination-inhibition test (HI)

NS1 antigen detection- NS1 antigen appears as early as day 1 of life, hence used for early diagnosis. Specificity is near 100% and sensitivity in first 4 days of illness is 90% in primary and 70% in secondary dengue.

Page 34: dengue diagnosis and management

IgM/ IgG Ratios greater than 1.2 (using the patient’s sera at 1/100 serum dilution) or 1.4 (using serum dilution of 1/20) suggest a primary infection.

IgG titres higher than 1/1280 by HIA or ELISA are also suggestive of a secondary infection.

Page 35: dengue diagnosis and management
Page 36: dengue diagnosis and management

Step II—Diagnosis, assessment of disease phase and severity

On the basis of evaluations of the history, physical examination and/or full blood count and haematocrit, determine whether the disease is dengue, which phase it is in (febrile, critical or recovery), whether there are warning signs, the hydration and haemodynamic status of the patient, and whether the patient requires admission

Page 41: dengue diagnosis and management

Step III—Management

Disease notification In dengue-endemic countries, cases of

suspected, probable and confirmed dengue should be notified as soon as possible so that appropriate public health measures can be initiated.

Laboratory confirmation is not necessary before notification, but should be obtained.

Page 42: dengue diagnosis and management

Management decisions Depending on the clinical manifestations

and other circumstances, patients may be Sent home (Group A), Be referred for in-hospital management (Group B), or Require emergency treatment and urgent referral (Group C).

Page 43: dengue diagnosis and management

Group A

Patients who do not have warning signs ANDwho are able: To tolerate adequate volumes of oral

fluids To pass urine at least once every 6

hours

Page 44: dengue diagnosis and management

Action plan Oral intake of ORS, fruit juice and other fluids containing electrolytes and sugar. Plain water alone may cause electrolyte imbalance.

Paracetamol for high fever. Tepid sponge if the patient still has high fever.

Avoid acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), ibuprofen or other NSAIDs as these drugs may aggravate gastritis or bleeding. Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) may be associated with Reye’s Syndrome.

Page 45: dengue diagnosis and management

Instruction for the care-givers • no clinical improvement, • deterioration around the time of

defervescence, • severe abdominal pain, • persistent vomiting,• cold and clammy extremities, • lethargy or irritability/restlessness, • bleeding, • not passing urine for more than 4–6 hours.

Page 46: dengue diagnosis and management

MONITORING daily for temperature pattern, volume of fluid intake and losses, urine output (volume and frequency), warning signs, signs of plasma leakage and bleeding, haematocrit, and white blood cell and

platelet counts.

Page 47: dengue diagnosis and management

Group B –

Patients with • warning signs, • co-existing conditions ( infancy, obesity,

renal failure, chronic haemolytic diseases), and

• certain social circumstances (living far from a health facility without reliable means of transport).

• Patients may be able to take oral fluids after a few hours of intravenous fluid therapy. Thus, it is necessary to revise the fluid infusion frequently.

• For infants < 6 months old, D5 0.45 NaCI is preferable if available (D5 0.45 NaCI is prepared by mixing equal volumes of D5 0.9 NaCL and D5W.

Page 50: dengue diagnosis and management

Monitor• vital signs and peripheral perfusion (1–4

hourly until the patient is out of the critical phase),

• urine output (4–6 hourly), • haematocrit (before and after fluid

replacement, then 6–12 hourly),• blood glucose, and other organ functions

(such as renal profile, liver profile, coagulation profile, as indicated).

Page 51: dengue diagnosis and management

Group C• severe plasma leakage leading to dengue

shock and/or fluid accumulation with respiratory distress;

• severe haemorrhages;• severe organ impairment (hepatic

damage, renal impairment, cardiomyopathy, encephalopathy or encephalitis).

Page 52: dengue diagnosis and management

FLUID MANAGEMENT IN SHOCK

Page 53: dengue diagnosis and management

Choice of IVF for resuscitation

• Crystalloids (Ringer's lactate or 0.9 NaCI solutions) have been shown to be safe and as effective as colloid solutions (dextran, starch, or gelatin) in reducing the recurrence of shock and mortality.

• Crystalloids should be used as first line in fluid resuscitation in compensated dengue shock.

• Colloids have been shown to restore the cardiac index and reduce the level of haematocrit faster than crystalloids in patients with intractable shock. colloids may be the preferred choice if the blood pressure has to be restored urgently, i.e. in those with pulse pressure less than 10 mm Hg.

Page 54: dengue diagnosis and management

Normal Saline

0.9% Saline is a suitable option for initial fluid resuscitation, but repeated large volumes of 0.9% saline may lead to hyperchloraemic acidosis.

Hyperchloraemic acidosis may aggravate or be confused with lactic acidosis from prolonged shock.

Monitoring the chloride and lactate levels will help to identify this problem. When serum chloride level exceeds the normal range, it is advisable to change to other alternatives such as Ringer’s Lactate.

Page 55: dengue diagnosis and management

Ringer’s Lactate

Ringer’s Lactate has lower sodium (131 mmol/L) and chloride (115 mmol/L) contents and an osmolality of 273 mOsm/L.

It is not be suitable for resuscitation of patients with severe hyponatremia. However, it is a suitable solution after 0.9 Saline has been given and the serum chloride level has exceeded the normal range.

Ringer’s Lactate should probably be avoided in liver failure.

Page 56: dengue diagnosis and management

Colloids

The types of colloids are gelatin-based, dextran-based and starch-based solutions.

Of all the colloids, gelatine has the least effect on coagulation but the highest risk of allergic reactions.

Allergic reactions such as fever, chills and rigors have also been observed in Dextran 70.

Dextran 40 can potentially cause an osmotic renal injury in hypovolaemic patients.

Hypotensive shock• Patients with dengue shock should be frequently monitored until the danger period is over. • A detailed fluid balance of all input and output should

be maintained. • Parameters that should be monitored include vital

signs and peripheral perfusion (every 15–30 minutes until the patient is out of shock, then 1–2 hourly).

• In general, the higher the fluid infusion rate, the more frequently the patient should be monitored and

reviewed in order to avoid fluid overload while ensuring adequate volume replacement.

Treatment of haemorrhagic complications

Mucosal bleeding may occur in any patient with dengue but, if the patient remains stable with fluid resuscitation/replacement, it should be considered as minor. In patients with profound thrombocytopaenia,

ensure strict bed rest and protect from trauma to reduce the risk of bleeding. Do not give intramuscular injections to avoid

haematoma. prophylactic platelet transfusions for severe thrombocytopaenia in otherwise hemodynamically stable patients have not been shown to be effective and are not necessary.

Page 62: dengue diagnosis and management

Risk of major bleeding

• have prolonged/refractory shock;• have hypotensive shock and renal or liver failure

and/or severe and persistent metabolic acidosis;• are given non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents;• have pre-existing peptic ulcer disease;• are on anticoagulant therapy;• have any form of trauma, including intramuscular

injection.

Page 63: dengue diagnosis and management

Severe bleeding can be recognized by:

• a decrease in haematocrit after fluid resuscitation together with unstable haemodynamic status;

• refractory shock that fails to respond to consecutive fluid resuscitation of 40-60 ml/kg;

• hypotensive shock with low/normal haematocrit before fluid resuscitation;

Page 64: dengue diagnosis and management

Action plan

Give 5–10ml/kg of fresh-packed red cells or 10–20 ml/kg of fresh whole blood at an appropriate rate and observe the clinical response. It is important that fresh whole blood or fresh red cells are given.

Consider repeating the blood transfusion if there is further blood loss or no appropriate rise in haematocrit after blood transfusion.

Transfuse platelet concentrates when massive bleeding can not be managed with just fresh whole blood/fresh-packed cells.

Page 65: dengue diagnosis and management

Causes of fluid overload :-excessive and/or too rapid intravenous fluids; incorrect use of hypotonic; inappropriate use of large volumes of IVF in

patients with unrecognized severe bleeding; inappropriate transfusion of fresh-frozen plasma,

platelet concentrates and cryoprecipitates;continuation of IVF after plasma leakage has

resolved;co-morbid conditions such as congenital heart

disease.

Treatment of Fluid overload

Page 66: dengue diagnosis and management

Early signs fluid overload :– respiratory distress, difficulty in breathing;– rapid breathing;– chest wall in-drawing;– wheezing;– large pleural effusions;– tense ascites;– increased jugular venous pressure (JVP).

Late signs fluid overload :– pulmonary oedema (cough with pink or frothy sputum ± crepitations, cyanosis);– irreversible shock (heart failure, often in combination with ongoing hypovolaemia).

Page 67: dengue diagnosis and management

Treatment of fluid overload (cont.)

Oxygen therapy should be given immediately. If the patient has stable haemodynamic status and is out of the critical phase, discontinue IVF. If necessary, give oral or intravenous furosemide. If the patient has stable haemodynamic status but is still within the critical phase, reduce the intravenous fluid accordingly. Avoid diuretics during the plasma leakage phase. If in shock despite clinical signs and symptoms of fluid overload Give 10ml/kg/hr of colloid. Once with BP is stable, administer IV furosemide 0.5 to 1mg/kg/dose; If BP is unstable, check ABCS and other electrolyte imbalance.

Page 68: dengue diagnosis and management

Cardiac complication

Cardiac involvement may be seen during the period of shock and convalescence.

Variable manifestations may be seen from myocarditis, arrhythmias to evidence of systolic or diastolic dysfunction presenting as heart failure and/or shock.

Investigation should include an echocardiogram, ECG, chest x-ray and CPKMB.

  

Page 69: dengue diagnosis and management

Management of Myocardial dysfunction.

• Systolic dysfunction should be treated with inotropes like dopamine, dobutamine or their combination and diastolic dysfunction should be treated with milrinone.

• fluids should be computed 50-75% of maintenance depending on the degree of heart failure.

• In patients with uncompensated shock due to hypovolemia but with heart failure, the recommendation for fluid boluses should be followed.

• At any point if fluid overload is considered, furosemide should be given once BP is stable.

Page 70: dengue diagnosis and management

Management of myocarditis If DF or DHF is complicated by myocarditis in the

convalescent phase, bed rest is recommended. In addition, physical activity after discharge is restricted anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks up to 6 months depending on severity of the myocarditis .

Management of Cardiac Arrhythmias During the period of convalescence, variable arrhythmias

observed range from sinus node dysfunction (sinus bradycardia, junctional rhythm), conduction abnormalities like first degree AV block, Wencheback.

In patients with cardiac arrhythmia but with no signs of heart failure, Usually no treatment is needed.

Page 71: dengue diagnosis and management

Other complications of dengue Electrolyte and acid-base imbalances are also common observations in severe dengue and are probably related to gastrointestinal losses through vomiting and diarrhoea or to the use of hypotonic solutions for resuscitation and correction of dehydration. Hyponatraemia, hypokalaemia, hyperkalaemia, serum calcium imbalances and metabolic acidosis can occur. Patients who present with convulsion and/or coma may have Encephalopathy

Page 72: dengue diagnosis and management

Laboratory Investigations (ABCS) for patients who present with profound shock or have complications, and in cases with no clinical improvement inspite of adequate volume replacement

Page 73: dengue diagnosis and management

Criteria for dischargeAll of the following must be present:A. Clinical •No fever for 48 hrs •Improvement in clinical status (general well-being, appetite, hemodynamic status, urine output, no respiratory distress). •Minimum of 2-3 days have elapsed after recovery from shockB. Laboratory • Increasing trend of platelet count. (> 50000/cumm) • Stable hematocrit without IVF.
