dengue hemorrhagic fever classification

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is classified based on the severity of symptoms and blood-related complications. It ranges from mild dengue fever, with fever and aches, to more severe forms like dengue with plasma leakage, bleeding, and low platelet counts. The major categories include: 1) Dengue without warning signs, 2) Dengue with warning signs (such as abdominal pain, vomiting, or fluid buildup), and 3) Severe dengue, characterized by significant bleeding, plasma leakage leading to shock, or organ impairment. This classification helps healthcare providers determine appropriate treatment and monitor patients closely for potential complications.
