Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Background:

  • Dengue infection is a growing global health concern.
  • Pregnancy can alter the clinical presentation and outcomes of infectious diseases.
  • Limited data exists on dengue's impact on pregnant individuals and their fetuses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the clinical presentation, maternal and fetal complications, and pregnancy outcomes in women with dengue infection.
  • To analyze trends in dengue cases among pregnant women.
  • To identify risk factors and adverse outcomes associated with dengue in pregnancy.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study design.
  • Analysis of 16 cases of dengue infection in pregnancy from 2000-2004.

  • Review of patient demographics, clinical findings, laboratory results (Tourniquet test, Dengue serology IgM and IgG), and pregnancy outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • An increasing trend of dengue infection in pregnancy was observed.
    • The mean patient age was 30.19 years, with 50% being multiparous and in their third trimester.
    • Complications included maternal deaths (3 cases), missed abortion (1 case), preterm deliveries (50%), fetal distress, and neonatal complications.

    Conclusions:

    • Dengue infection during pregnancy is associated with severe maternal and fetal complications.
    • Early diagnosis and management are crucial to improve outcomes.
    • Further research is needed to understand the long-term effects and optimal treatment strategies.
