Dr Sandeep Mahajan, Aishwarya Damodaran
Abstract :
Dengue is the most significant mosquito–borne viral disease in the world today caused by flavivirus by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Many dengue cases are self–limiting but complications such as hemorrhage and shock can be life–threatening. The aim of the present study is to highlight and demonstrate the importance of ultrasound in the Dengue fever. 1. To demonstrate the ultrasound findings of dengue fever. 2. To assess efficacy of each findings. 3. To suspect and predict the progression of mild dengue fever to severe dengue fever and its complications.(Dengue hemorrhagic fever and Dengue shock syndrome) 4. To thus help in further management of patients. The ultrasound findings in early milder form of DF include GB wall thickening, pericholecystic fluid and hepatosplenomegaly. Severe forms of the disease are characterized by fluid collection in the perirenal and pararenal region, hepatic and splenic subcapsular fluid more commonly generalized ascites and mild to moderate.
