Objective: To assess the maternal and neonatal outcomes of dengue infected pregnancy. Study Design: Prospective study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Sandeman Provincial Hospital, Quetta 1st August 2018 to 28th February 2021. Methodology: Fifty pregnant females were enrolled after their dengue confirmation either by NS1, IgM or IgG test. Clinical and demographic information was recorded. Pregnancy and neonatal outcomes were noticed by following the patients until delivery and postpartum period and the new born if infected then up to post 6 months of delivery. Results: The mean age of patients was 25.5±3.5 years. Out of the total pregnant dengue infected females 60% had multigravida. Fifty percent of females came for clinical assistance in their third trimester. Post-partum hemorrhages were common in 6% patients. Vertical transmission was seen in three cases where two did not survive and had intra uterine death. Maternal mortality was seen in 14% of total cases.
