Pham Van Quang, head of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Ho Chi Minh City Children's Hospital No. 1, said in most cases, dengue fever patients and their families had ignored warning signs when contracting the disease, creating the opportunity for it to get serious. When experiencing a high body temperature, the most typical early symptom of dengue fever, most patients had chosen to be treated at home, said Quang. After the high fever had gone, those people assumed they had already recovered. However, for dengue fever, the period following high fever is the most critical, and patients must be carefully monitored every step of the way, he said. So far, patients with dengue fever were only brought to hospitals when they had already developed severe symptoms like lethargy, bleeding gums, nosebleeds, and severe abdominal pain. By then, it is very easy for the patient to suffer septic shock while the risk of fatality is high, the doctor added. In other cases, dengue fever … [Read more...] about Dengue fever turns severe as patients miss early checkups: doctor
