Keywords:
Pleuro-Pulmonary complications, Dengue Shock Syndrome , Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever, Pleural EffusionAbstract
Dengue is a febrile illness, disease of tropical areas, commonly encountered in India. Most of the infections are asymptomatic. The course of dengue infection varies from individual to individual and even in the same individual from time to time.The patient of dengue fever can present with a wide range of clinical manifestations from mild fever to life threatening Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS) and severe Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF). Pleuro- Pulmonary complications involve parenchymal infiltration, pleural effusion (small, moderate, massive), pneumonitis, non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema, hemorrhage-hemoptysis, acute respiratory failure. We report a case of 55 year old male who developed bilateral pleural effusion & pedal oedema and presented to us in acute respiratory failure , semiconscious and shock which was consistent with the diagnosis of Dengue Shock Syndrome.[Gautam A Natl J Integr Res Med, 2018; 9(6):68-71]
