Hemorrhagic dengue is a serious reaction of the body to the dengue virus, which causes the appearance of more severe symptoms than conventional dengue that can endanger a person’s life, such as changes in heart rate, vomiting and persistent bleeding, which can be in the eyes, gums, ears and/or nose.
Hemorrhagic dengue fever is more common in people with dengue a second time and can be differentiated from other types of dengue on the third day with the onset of bleeding after the onset of classic dengue symptoms, such as back pain, fever and body pain. See what are other common symptoms of classic dengue.
- Although severe.
- Hemorrhagic dengue is curable when identified in the initial phase and treatment consists mainly of hydration by injection of serum into the vein.
- Forcing the person to be admitted to the hospital.
- As it is also possible that it is followed by a doctor.
- And nurses.
- Avoiding complications.
Symptoms of hemorrhagic dengue are initially the same as those of the common dengue, but after about 3 days more severe signs and symptoms may appear:
Although bleeding is characteristic of hemorrhagic dengue, in some cases it may not occur, which ultimately makes diagnosis difficult and delays the start of treatment. Therefore, whenever signs and symptoms indicative of dengue are noticed, it is important to go to the hospital, regardless of type.
The diagnosis of hemorrhagic dengue can be made by looking at the symptoms of the disease, but to confirm the diagnosis, the doctor may request a blood test and test of the handle, which is performed by observing more than 20 red dots in a square of 2.5 x 2.5 cm drawn on the skin, after 5 minutes of the arm slightly tensed with duct tape.
In addition, other diagnostic tests may also be recommended to check the severity of the disease, such as blood formula and coagulogram, for example. Learn about the main tests for diagnosing dengue.
Treatment of bleeding dengue should be guided by a GP and/or the infectious disease specialist and should be performed in the hospital, as hydration is required directly in the vein and follow-up of the person, because in addition to dehydration, liver, heart, respiratory or blood disturbances may occur.
It is important that treatment for bleeding dengue begins within 24 hours of the onset of symptoms, and oxygen therapy and blood transfusions may be required.
It is recommended to avoid the use of acetylsalicylic acid-based medications, such as AAS and anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen, if dengue is suspected.
Hemorrhagic dengue is not contagious, since like any other type of dengue, it is necessary to bite the Aedes aegypti mosquito infected with the virus to develop the disease. Therefore, to prevent mosquito bites and the onset of dengue, it is important to:
These measures are important and should be monitored by the general population to reduce dengue cases in the country. Watch the video below for more tips to keep the mosquito away from dengue:
Hemorrhagic dengue is a very serious disease that should be treated in the hospital because medication needs to be given directly into the vein and an oxygen mask in some cases. If treatment is not started or is not done correctly, hemorrhagic dengue may lead to death.
Depending on the severity, hemorrhagic dengue can be classified by 4 degrees, where milder symptoms are milder, bleeding may not be observed, despite positive evidence of the link, and in the most severe, shock syndrome may exist. associated with dengue, increasing the risk of death.
Hemorrhagic dengue fever is caused by the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which transmits the dengue virus. In most cases of hemorrhagic dengue, the person had already had dengue and when he becomes infected with the virus again, he develops more severe symptoms, resulting in this type of dengue.
Although hemorrhagic dengue is rarer, it can occur in people who have never had dengue, in which case babies are the most affected. Although it is not yet known exactly why this can happen, it is known that the person’s antibodies can bind to the virus, but they cannot neutralize it and that is why it continues to replicate very quickly and cause serious changes in the body.
In most cases, dengue hemorrhagic fever occurs in people who have been infected with the virus at least once.
Improper use of medications can also promote the development of hemorrhagic dengue, as some acetylsalicylic acid-based medications, such as AAS and aspirin, can promote bleeding and bleeding, complicating dengue. See what dengue treatment should look like to avoid complications.
Dengue hemorrhagic fever is curable when quickly identified and treated. It is possible to heal completely, but to do this you have to go to the hospital as soon as the first symptoms of dengue appear, especially if there is a lot of abdominal pain or bleeding of the nose, ears or mouth.
One of the first signs that can indicate dengue hemorrhagic fever is the ease of having purple marks on the body, even on small bumps, or the appearance of a dark mark where an injection was given or blood was drawn. Learn to recognize the symptoms of hemorrhagic dengue.
