Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Epidemics of Dengue fever have been reported in different parts of India at different times. In the year 2011, Odisha for the first time encountered a major epidemic of Dengue fever affecting almost half of the state.We have tried to evaluate 300 of these cases meticulously and compiled the information to better understand the various aspects of this disease.The present study highlights the importance of dengue fever to clinicians in the areas where it is seen less frequently.The clinical manifestations were similar to many other epidemics, but there were few differences.Though several organs are affected by dengue fever, outcome is not bad if platelet is given promptly. Dengue should be included as a differential diagnosis of all short duration fevers with or without gastrointestinal manifestations.
