Dengue-associated complications, including dengue shock syndrome, severe respiratory distress, and pediatric acute liver failure (PALF), are associated with high mortality rates in patients dengue. There is increasing prevalence of overweight obesity among children worldwide. Obesity may activate inflammatory mediators, leading to increased capillary permeability plasma leakage Several studies have shown a correlation between DSS, but did not include fatality or PALF. Therefore, we...
Profound dengue shock syndrome (DSS) complicated by severe respiratory failure necessitating mechanical ventilation (MV) accounts for high case fatality rates among PICU-admitted patients. A major challenge to management is the assessment of intravascular volume, which can be hampered plasma leakage and use MV.
A 33-year-old G2 P1001 female at 13 weeks of gestation presented with dyspnea, tachycardia, and hypotension. Initial assessment revealed cardiogenic shock acute respiratory failure caused by extremely severe pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH). Multidisciplinary efforts led to the diagnosis PAH as an initial manifestation systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Team care included gestational termination via dilation curettage (D&C), followed corticosteroids vasodilator therapy, excellent...
