BACKGROUNDViral fevers are the cause for admission in the hospital during certain seasons of the year. Commonly, the hospitalisations often increase in the monsoon period during the months of July to November in most of the regions across the world due to seasonal changes. The vector-borne diseases especially Malaria, Dengue increase with changes in the humidity, temperature, rainfall and pooling of water in the households. In this present study, an attempt is made to find out the probable cause of fever among admitted cases of viral fever.

“…In children, epistaxis, hepatomegaly and oliguria are more common 31. In older children and adults, headache, retro-orbital pain, arthralgia, petechiae and malaena are more common 31. Other symptoms may include diarrhoea, nausea, abdominal pain, cough and lymphadenopathy.…”

“…Children with a previous history of dengue infection are at increased risk of severe dengue. Dengue shock syndrome is more common than dengue haemorrhagic fever in children with severe dengue 31. Chikungunya has a similar presentation to dengue fever but typically with a more chronic polyarthralgia.…”

During the last half century there has been an exponential increase in international travel including to more exotic and long-haul destinations. The assessment of febrile returning child travellers presents diagnostic challenges and is often performed poorly. A detailed travel and medical history, clinical examination and appropriate first-line investigations are essential. While the majority of children will have a common self-limiting or easily treatable infection, it is important to consider other causes, including imported infections, which may be life-threatening or highly contagious. In this article, we provide guidance on the initial assessment and management of such children with a focus on some of the more important imported infections, including malaria, dengue, typhoid fever, travellers' diarrhoea, respiratory infections, tuberculosis, schistosomiasis and rickettsial diseases.

A identificação precoce de sinais de alarme e o tratamento de dengue grave são as principais estratégias para reduzir a letalidade da doença, principalmente em crianças, usualmente oligosintomáticas e com rápida progressão para o choque. O objetivo foi elaborar a versão brasileira do instrumento proposto pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) para avaliar o uso de sinais de alarme para dengue grave. Tradução e retrotradução do instrumento original em inglês, seguidas de um painel de especialistas, pré-teste (n = 13) e estudo piloto (n = 20) da versão preliminar. A comparação do instrumento original com a retrotradução mostrou que apenas 8 de 49 itens foram julgados como muito ou completamente alterados, três dos quais foram revistos. O painel de especialistas incluiu os sinais preconizados pelo Ministério da Saúde do Brasil. Na versão final do questionário, o item "classificação dos sinais de alarme" foi reformulado e a opção de resposta "não sei" foi excluída. A versão brasileira do instrumento da OMS permite avaliar o uso dos sinais de alarme, preconizados nos recentes manuais de dengue.
