Dr. K C Chaudhuri Foundation

Dengue is a significant public health issue characterized by a wide clinical spectrum, classified by the World Health Organization into probable dengue, dengue with warning signs, and severe dengue. The management of severe dengue is critical, as it can lead to significant morbidity and mortality if not treated promptly. The review discusses the lack of definitive curative medications, the importance of judicious fluid resuscitation, and the management of complications such as secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Ongoing research into potential anti-dengue compounds is also highlighted.
