Insights
This study investigated ear, nose, and throat (ENT) issues in 100 children with dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) in Cambodia. Findings detail common ENT symptoms and laboratory changes associated with DHF in pediatric patients.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Pediatric Infectious Diseases
- Virology
Context:
- Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a significant public health concern, particularly in tropical regions.
- Understanding the spectrum of clinical manifestations beyond typical symptoms is crucial for comprehensive patient management.
- Ear, nose, and throat (ENT) affections represent a potentially under-recognized aspect of DHF in children.
Purpose:
- To systematically investigate the prevalence and characteristics of ENT affections in pediatric patients diagnosed with DHF.
- To document the leading clinical symptoms, laboratory findings, and incidence rates of specific ENT conditions associated with DHF.
- To provide a detailed description of the types of ENT affections observed in this cohort.
Summary:
- A study was conducted on 100 children hospitalized with DHF in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
- The research focused on identifying and characterizing ENT affections present in these pediatric patients.
- Key clinical signs, laboratory alterations, and the frequency of various ENT conditions were analyzed.
Impact:
- Highlights the importance of considering ENT examinations in children with DHF.
- Provides valuable data for clinicians managing pediatric DHF cases, potentially improving diagnostic accuracy and treatment strategies.
- Contributes to the broader understanding of DHF's multifaceted clinical presentation.
Abstract:
ENT affections were studied in 100 children with dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) admitted to children's hospital in Pnompen (Cambodia). Leading clinical symptoms, changes in laboratory findings, incidence rate and kind of ENT affections are described.

01:24Disorders of Hemostasis
Hemostasis, the process that stops bleeding after a blood vessel injury, is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the circulatory system. However, disorders of hemostasis can disrupt this delicate balance, leading to either excessive clotting or bleeding. These disorders can be broadly classified into thromboembolic disorders and bleeding disorders.
Thromboembolic Disorders
Two factors primarily cause thromboembolic conditions.

01:18Yellow Fever
Yellow fever is a viral hemorrhagic disease caused by the yellow fever virus (YFV), a member of the Flaviviridae family. It is transmitted primarily by Aedes and Haemagogus mosquitoes in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and South America. After transmission through a mosquito bite, the virus initially replicates in skin-resident immune cells such as dendritic cells and macrophages. These cells then migrate to the lymph nodes, where viral replication increases, eventually leading to...
01:17Hemorrhagic Stroke l: Introduction
A hemorrhagic stroke is an acute neurological event that occurs when a weakened cerebral blood vessel ruptures, allowing blood to accumulate within or around the brain. The sudden release of blood forms a focal hematoma that increases intracranial pressure, displaces neural tissue, and can obstruct cerebrospinal fluid pathways. These effects may be compounded by intraventricular extension of the hemorrhage, cerebral edema, or compression of adjacent structures, all of which contribute to...
01:29Hemorrhagic Stroke ll: Pathophysiology
A hemorrhagic stroke develops when a cerebral blood vessel ruptures, allowing blood to escape into the surrounding brain tissue, as in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), or into the subarachnoid space, as in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Because the skull is a rigid compartment, the sudden presence of extravascular blood rapidly increases intracranial pressure and compresses adjacent neural structures, leading to immediate tissue injury and impaired cerebral perfusion.Mass Effect and Primary...
01:22Bacterial Meningitis I: Introduction
Bacterial meningitis is a severe, life-threatening inflammation of the meninges, particularly the pia mater and arachnoid mater, affecting the subarachnoid space, ventricles, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). If untreated, it can lead to significant neurological complications or death.Causative AgentsCommon pathogens vary with age and immune status. In adults, major organisms include Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis, and Haemophilus influenzae. Streptococcus agalactiae (group B...
01:19Encephalitis l: Introduction
Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain parenchyma, most often due to infections or autoimmune processes. It presents with neuropsychiatric features such as fever, altered mental status, behavioral changes, cognitive dysfunction, seizures, focal deficits, and sometimes autonomic instability. In some cases, the meninges are also involved, resulting in meningoencephalitis.Infectious CausesInfectious encephalitis is most commonly viral but can also result from bacterial, fungal, or parasitic...
