Figure 4. Laboratory Diagnostic Options in a Patient with Suspected Dengue
Infection.
Detection of viral nucleic acid, nonstructural protein 1 (NS1), or IgM sero-
conversion is a confirmatory finding in patients in whom dengue is a possi-
ble diagnosis. Day 0 is the first day when the patient noted any symptom
during this illness. ELISA denotes enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,
and RT-PCR reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction.T. Mudwal’s Hypersensitivity Type Ill Theory

The client may experience fever as the invasive stage abruptly happens. The common
manifestations include: High fever accompanied with abdominal pain and headache which could
be sometimes regarded as symptoms of common conditions.
Sometimes, symptoms of flushing, vomiting, conjunctival infection and epistaxis occur but due to
changes in viral infectivity, onset of these symptoms may vary.
( During 4" to 7" days a)
| Itis already called as toxic or hemorrhagic stage; fever may subside but the risks for bleeding
| tendencies for the client may however, take place.
Clinical manifestations may include: Severe abdominal pain, hematemesis, melena, unstable
blood pressure with narrowing pulse pressure and at times shock. Dengue may be fatal at this
point.
7th te 10th days
itis called as convalescent or recovery stage when generalized body status is regained and vital
signs especially the blood pressure of the client is already stable.
