severe dengue

Severe dengue is a serious complication of dengue fever, caused by the dengue virus transmitted through mosquito bites. It occurs when the immune response leads to dangerous fluid leakage from blood vessels, low platelet levels, and bleeding. This can cause symptoms like severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, rapid breathing, bleeding, and organ impairment. It requires immediate medical attention to prevent life-threatening consequences. Early detection and proper management can significantly improve outcomes and reduce the risk of severe dengue progressing to more dangerous stages.
