Dengue as a cause of fever during pregnancy: a report of two cases

Abstract: Dengue infection has not been routinely investigated among pregnant women and parturients with acute febrile syndrome in endemic settings. Here, we report two cases of dengue fever detected at the time of delivery in parturients enrolled in a cohort prospective study conducted in a hospital in Recife, Brazil. The parturients reported fever onset within seven days prior to delivery, and dengue infection was confirmed upon detection of viral ribonucleic acid (RNA) by using the reverse transcriptasepolymerase cha… Show more

“…This may explain why only one case was fatal. The possibility of dengue was not considered during medical assessment in a case report of two parturients with dengue, who exhibited signs and symptoms and lived in an endemic area 39 , even though several complications, such as vaginal bleeding, maternal death, prematurity, and spontaneous abortion, are associated with dengue during pregnancy 40 . These complications reflect the need for precise clinical management of potential health risks during pregnancy.…”

“…Para , os fatores relacionados à dificuldade de acesso, baixa qualidade do atendimento e a falta de capacitação profissional específica para os riscos aos quais as gestantes estão expostas são importantes definidores do padrão da mortalidade materna nos municípios. Dada a gravidade da situação, alguns autores já discutem a necessidade de considerar a inclusão deste grupo populacional em políticas de controle da dengue, considerando-as como população de risco (PAIXÃO et al, 2016;SOUZA et al, 2016;TEIXEIRA et al, 2016).…”
