Dengue and internal bleeding: Dengue is a viral infection, which is spread by Aedes mosquito bites. This mosquito is particularly active during the day. In many states of India, cases of dengue grow rapidly during monsoon and rainy season. Dengue virus enters the body and affects the blood platelets and immune system. Symptoms of dengue usually include high fever, headache, body and joint pain, fatigue and rash rash. In some cases it remains light, but can take a serious form if the treatment is not found on time.
Dengue Not only high fever or pain for the body, but it can also cause serious problems like internal bleeding. This virus weakens blood platelets and nerves. When the number of platelets falls below 100,000/μl, the blood clot becomes difficult and the risk of internal bleeding increases. In severe cases, blood can also spread to liver, kidney and abdominal organs. The same situation is called dengue hemorrhagic fever. Due to internal bleeding, blood levels in the body fall, which can reduce blood pressure and the organs do not get enough oxygen. The patient’s condition may become rapidly serious by ignoring the initial symptoms and immediate treatment is required in the hospital.
