Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
AIM: To study the maternal and perinatal outcomes in dengue fever pregnant women in a tertiary care center. METHOD: This was a retrospective study done in pregnant women with dengue fever. RESULTS: There were 75 pregnant women with confirmed dengue serology between January 2013 to October 2015 were included in the study. At the mean (SD) gestational age of 29+/-6 weeks. 36 patients (48%) were delivered by caesarean section, 45(60%) women needed SDP/FFP transfusion and there were no maternal deaths. 26patients (34.6%) of these 75 women had preterm deliveries and 32 neonates (42.6%) were admitted to neonatal intensive care unit. 19 women (25.3%) gave birth to low birth weight babies. There were five (6.6%) perinatal deaths. CONCLUSION: In our study we found that the dengue fever has poor maternal and perinatal outcomes. Measures must be taken to prevent dengue in urban region, and dengue screening during pregnancy must be adopted in endemic regions.
