Dengue is a very common viral infection in tropical zones, it is transmitted by vectors to humans by mosquito bites of the genre: Aedes. Oriental Mediterranean, Americas, Southeast Asia, Pacific, and Africa are all known as endemic zones for dengue. The treatment of severe dengue is based on the administration of intravenous fluids (IVF) and the management of complications. The mainstay of the management is the meticulous administration of fluids to ensure adequate intravascular volume to restore vasculopathy, watching carefully for overload risk. We carried out a state of the art on fluid-therapy during the critical phase of dengue, including the type (crystalloids versus colloids, hypotonic and hypertonic solutions), volume to infuse and duration of therapy from the most recent publications. This is an area where urgent research is needed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
