What Is Dengue Fever?
4. Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever
The vast majority of people will make a full recovery – even without medication. In some cases, however, the disease can progress to dengue hemorrhagic fever. The patient’s platelet count will fall, meaning their blood cannot clot well. Their blood vessels can also become damaged, allowing blood to seep out.
Symptoms of the condition include continual vomiting and severe pain in the abdomen. The patient may also have blood in their stools, urine, and vomit, and they can also easily bleed from their nose and gums. The patient can also become restless and they can also become very fatigued. Their skin can become cold and clammy, while they can also develop breathing problems.
