Summary
Dengue fever, a severe viral hemorrhagic fever, is now a mandatory registered disease in Russia. This paper details its epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis, and a fatal case with organ damage.
Area of Science:
- Virology
- Epidemiology
- Pathology
Background:
- Dengue fever is an acute, vector-borne viral hemorrhagic fever.
- Russia mandated dengue fever case registration in 2013.
- Understanding dengue's epidemiology and pathogenesis is crucial for public health.
Observation:
- This study analyzes dengue fever epidemiology, etiology, and pathogenesis.
- A severe, fatal dengue fever case is presented.
- Morphological changes in organs and tissues were examined in the fatal case.
Findings:
- The paper provides comprehensive data on dengue fever in Russia.
- Detailed insights into the disease's progression and effects are offered.
- Specific morphological alterations associated with severe dengue were identified.
Implications:
- This research contributes to the understanding of dengue fever's impact.
- Findings can inform public health strategies and clinical management in Russia.
- Further research into dengue pathogenesis and prevention is warranted.

01:25Increased Body Temperature
6.3K
A body temperature above 38°C (100.4 °F) is known as fever or pyrexia, and a person with fever is termed 'febrile.' Typically, the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that acts as the body's thermostat, regulates body temperature through a thermoregulatory setpoint. It receives signals from cold and warm thermal receptors throughout the body and adjusts the body's temperature accordingly. Fever occurs when this hypothalamic setpoint is altered, usually in...

Fever can be triggered by several factors, including infections, nervous system disorders, certain cancers, blood diseases like leukemia, embolism, thrombosis, heatstroke, dehydration, surgical trauma, crushing injuries, and allergic reactions.

1.1K
The signs and symptoms of fever include hot and dry skin, flushed face, thirst, muscle aches, anorexia, headache, tachycardia, tachypnea, and fatigue. Elevated body temperature is reduced using two methods: pharmacological and nonpharmacological. Proper identification and treatment of the root cause of a fever is of utmost importance.

321
Dysrhythmias, also known as arrhythmias, are irregular heart rhythms that result from abnormal electrical activity in the heart, affecting its ability to circulate blood efficiently. Tachyarrhythmias, a subset of dysrhythmias, are characterized by abnormally fast heart rates exceeding 100 beats per minute. Here are some types of tachyarrhythmias with their distinct ECG features:Sinus Tachycardia:Sinus tachycardia presents a regular heart rhythm with an increased rate of 101-180 beats per...

01:19Homeostatic Imbalances in Body Temperature
3.6K
Hyperthermia occurs when the body's temperature becomes unusually high, often due to heat exposure, intense physical activity, or certain illnesses. This condition can create a dangerous cycle where elevated body temperature increases the metabolic rate, generating more heat and potentially leading to organ failure and brain damage. A severe form of hyperthermia, called heat stroke, can raise body temperature to life-threatening levels. Fever, on the other hand, is a controlled form of...
