DENGUE HEMORRHAGIC FEVER
GRADE III

Introduction

Dengue fever, also known as breakbone fever, is an infectious tropical disease caused by the dengue virus. Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle and joint pains, and a characteristic skin rash that is similar to measles. It is a life threatening condition resulting in bleeding, low levels of blood platelets and blood plasma leakage, or into dengue shock syndrome, where dangerously low blood pressure occurs. In a small portion of these cases the virus causes increase vascular permeability that lead s to bleeding diathesis or disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) known as dengue Hemorrhagic Fever. Typically, people infected with dengue virus are asymptomatic (80%) or only have mild symptoms such as an uncomplicated fever. Others have more severe illness (5%), and in a small proportion it is life-threatening. The incubation period (time between exposure and onset of symptoms) ranges from 3–14 days, but most often it is 4–7 days. Therefore, travelers returning from endemic areas are unlikely to have dengue if fever or other symptoms start more than 14 days after arriving home. Children often experience symptoms similar to those of the common cold and gastroenteritis (vomiting and diarrhea), and generally have less severe symptoms than adults, but are at greater risk of severe complications.
The course of infection is divided into three phases: febrile, critical, and recovery.
In febrile phase involves high fever, often over 40 °C (104 °F), and is associated with generalized pain and a headache; this usually lasts two to seven days.
In critical phase, this follows the resolution of the high fever and typically lasts one to two days. During this phase there may be significant fluid accumulation in the chest and abdominal cavity due to increased capillary permeability and leakage. This leads to depletion of fluid from the circulation and decreased blood supply to vital organs.
In recovery phase occurs next, with resorption of the leaked fluid into the bloodstream. This usually lasts two to three days. The improvement is often striking, but there may be severe itching and a slow heart rate.
The reason for studying or knowing more about Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever is, the diseases is very fatal when it is not discovered immediately, so we must be all aware about the s/Sx so that the disease can be easily detected to avoid different risk and complication and also death.

PATHOPYSIOLOGY

Precipitating | Environmental conditions (open spaces with water | | | pots, and plants) | Immunocompromise | Mosquito carrying dengue virus |

Predisposing | | Geographical area – tropical islands in the | Pacific (Philippines) and Asia |

Aedes aegypti (dengue virus carrier): 8-12 days of viral replication on mosquitos’ salivary glands

Bite from mosquito (Portal of Entry in the Skin)

Allowing dengue virus to be inoculated towards the circulation/blood (Incubation Period: 3-14 days

Virus disseminated rapidly into the blood and stimulates WBCs including B lymphocytes that produces and secretes immunoglobulins (antibodies), and monocytes/macrophges, neutrophils

Antibodies attach to the viral antigens, and then monocytes/macrophages will perform phagocytosis through Fc receptor (FcR) within the cells and dengue virus replicates in the cells

Entry to the bone marrow

Entry to the spleen Recognition of dengue viral antigen on infected monocyte

Release of cytokines which consist of vasoactive agents such as interleukins, tumor necrosis factor, urokinase and platelet activating factors which stimulates WBCs and pyrogen release

Dengue

Cellular direct destruction and infection of red bone marrow precursor cells as well as immunological shortened platelet

Virus ultimately targets liver and spleen parenchymal cells where infection produces apoptosis/cell death

Hepatosplenomegaly

Thrombocytopenia

Dengue Hemorrhagic

Increase number and size of the pores in the capillaries which leads to a leakage of
Fluid from the blood to the interstitial fluid (capillary leakage)

Ascite

Pleural effusion

Complications:
Intense bleeding
Pulmonary Edema
Shock
Very low blood pressure Liver cirrhosis

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
The Circulatory System is responsible for transporting materials throughout the entire body. It transports nutrients, water, and oxygen to your billions of body cells and carries away wastes such as carbon dioxide that body cells produce. It is an amazing highway that travels through your entire body connecting all your body cells.
Parts of the Circulatory System
The circulatory System is divided into three major parts: 1. The Heart 2. The Blood 3. The Blood Vessels
The Heart
The Heart is an amazing organ. The heart beats about 3 BILLION times during an average lifetime. It is a muscle about the size of your fist. The heart is located in the center of your chest slightly to the left. Its job is to pump your blood and keep the blood moving throughout your body.
It is your job to keep your heart healthy and there are three main things you need to remember in order to keep your heart healthy. 1. Exercise on a regular basis. Get outside and play. Keeps that body moving (walk, jog, run, bike, skate, jump, swim). 2. Eat Healthy. Remember the Food Pyramid and make sure your eating your food from the bottom to top. 3. Don't Smoke! Don't Smoke! Don't Smoke! Don't Smoke! Don't Smoke!
The Blood
The blood is an amazing substance that is constantly flowing through our bodies. * Your blood is pumped by your heart. * Your blood travels through thousands of miles of blood vessels right within your own body. * Your blood carries nutrients, water, oxygen and waste products to and from your body cells. * A young person has about a gallon of blood. An adult has about 5 quarts. * Your blood is not just a red liquid but rather is made up of liquids, solids and small amounts of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Blood Cells * Red Blood Cells are responsible for carrying oxygen and carbon dioxide. Red Blood Cells pick up oxygen in the lungs and transport it to all the body cells. After delivering the oxygen to the cells it gathers up the carbon dioxide(a waste gas produced as our cells are working) and transports carbon dioxide back to the lungs where it is removed from the body when we exhale(breath out). There are about 5,000,000 Red Blood Cells in ONE drop of blood.

* White Blood Cells help the body fight off germs. White Blood Cells attack and destroy germs when they enter the body. When you have an infection your body will produce more White Blood Cells to help fight an infection. Sometimes our White Blood Cells need a little help and the Doctor will prescribe an antibiotic to help our White Blood Cells fight a large scale infection.

* Platelets are blood cells that help stop bleeding. When we cut ourselves we have broken a blood vessel and the blood leaks out. In order to plug up the holes where the blood is leaking from the platelets start to stick to the opening of the damaged blood vessels. As the platelets stick to the opening of the damaged vessel they attract more platelets, fibers and other blood cells to help form a plug to seal the broken blood vessel. When the platelet plug is completely formed the wound stops bleeding. We call our platelet plugs scabs. Plasma * Plasma is the liquid part of the blood. Approximately half of your blood is made of plasma. The plasma carries the blood cells and other components throughout the body. Plasma is made in the liver.
The Blood Vessels
In class we talked about three types of blood vessels: 1. Arteries 2. Capillaries 3. Veins
Arteries
Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen rich blood AWAY from the heart. Remember, A A Arteries Away, A A Arteries Away, A A Arteries Away.
Capillaries
Capillaries are tiny blood vessels as thin or thinner than the hairs on your head. Capillaries connect arteries to veins. Food substances (nutrients), oxygen and wastes pass in and out of your blood through the capillary walls.
Veins
Veins carry blood back toward your heart.

LYMPHOCYTE

A lymphocyte is a type of white blood cell in the vertebrate immune system. In the circulatory system they move from lymph node to lymph node. This contrasts with macrophages, which are rather stationary in the nodes.
By their appearance under the light microscope, there are two broad categories of lymphocytes can be divided into large lymphocytes and small lymphocytes. Large granular lymphocytes include natural killer cells (NK cells). Small lymphocytes consist of T cells and B cells.
MONOCYTE
Monocytes are produced by the bone marrow from hematopoietic stem cell precursors called monoblasts. Monocytes circulate in the bloodstream for about one to three days and then typically move into tissues throughout the body.
NEUTRROPHIL GRANOLUCYTES
In general, they are referred to as either neutrophils, the most abundant type of white blood cells in mammals and form an essential part of the innate immune system. These phagocytes are normally found in the bloodstream. However, during the acute phase of inflammation, particularly as result of bacterial infection, neutrophils leave the vasculature and migrate toward the site of the inflammation in a process called chemotaxis.

EOSINOPHILS GRANULOCYTES

Eosinophil granulocytes, usually called eosinophils, are white blood cells that are one of the immune system components responsible for combating multicellular parasites and certain infections in vertebrates. Along with mast cells, they also control mechanisms associated with allergy and asthma. They are granulocytes that develop during hematopoiesis in the bone marrow before migrating into blood.

BASOPHIL GRANULOCYTES

Basophil granulocytes, mostly referred to as basophils, are the least common of the granulocytes, Basophils appear in many specific kinds of inflammatory reactions, particularly those that cause allergic symptoms. Basophils contain anticoagulant heparin, which prevents blood from clotting too quickly. They also contain the vasodilator histamine, which promotes blood flow to tissues.

    The reason that some people suffer from more severe forms of dengue, such as dengue hemorrhagic fever, is multifactorial. Among the possible causes are cross-serotypic immune response, through a mechanism known as antibody-dependent enhancement, which happens when a person who has been previously infected with dengue gets infected for the second, third or fourth time. The previous antibodies to the old strain of dengue virus now interfere with the immune response to the current strain, leading paradoxically to more virus entry and uptake.…

    Most Americans lose little sleep over dengue fever. The mosquito-borne infection is a leading killer in the tropics and subtropics, but it’s been a long-held belief that ubiquitous air-conditioning, few open windows and limited time outdoors protects us from dengue. And in fact, for the past century most U.S. cases (except those near the Texas–Mexico border) were isolated to immigrants or travelers. In recent years, however, locally acquired cases of the disease have started to appear in pockets of the U.S. Now, researchers fear dengue could be gaining a significant foothold here.…
