What Is Dengue Fever?
5. Complications
Severe cases of dengue fever can cause considerable damage to the patient’s organs. Their heart can stop pumping, their liver and kidneys can stop filtering out toxins, and their lungs can stop functioning. In such cases, the patient will need intensive care if they are to have any chance of surviving.
Dengue hemorrhagic fever can also cause the patient to lose a significant volume of blood internally and externally. This can cause their blood pressure to drop and the patient can also go into shock. The severity of the complications will sometimes cause the patient to lose their lives.
