Overview
Dengue infection is caused by the dengue virus that belongs to the family Flaviviridae.
After 4-10 days of incubation period, illness begins immediately, characterized by a febrile phase, a critical phase, and a recovery phase.
In the new classification of dengue infection, patients are categorized depending on patient’s severity level as severe dengue or non-severe dengue (with or without warning signs).
Educate parents or guardians about the warning signs for dehydration: Decreased urination, absence of tears when crying, dry mouth/tongue/lips, sunken eyes, listlessness, agitation, confusion, cold/clammy extremities.
For further information regarding the management of Dengue (Pediatric), please refer to Disease Algorithm for the Treatment Guideline.
