Dengue Fever: In-Hospital Management of Critically ill Adult Patients
Abstract
Dengue is rapidly becoming a major public health problem with significant mortality and morbidity. Management especially in first two days needs careful attention. We present a review of current literature on the management critically ill adult patients of dengue in hospital settings. Early diagnosis and close monitoring of response to treatment are necessary to prevent worse outcomes.
