Pregnant women who have dengue risk haemorrhaging as a result

If dengue infection occurs during pregnancy and progresses near term, both the mother and the unborn child run the danger of haemorrhaging.

According to Dr. Imran Rafiq, Senior Medical Officer of Nishtar Medical University, severe dengue can result in obstetric complications, caesarean deliveries (commonly referred to as C-Sections), deadly distress, and mother morbidity.

According to medical studies, the incubation period for dengue fever is between 7 and 10 days, and symptoms include an abrupt start of high fever, excruciating pain in the muscles and joints, a headache, and eye trouble.

The occurrence of plasma leakage, haemorrhage, or organ involvement was used to determine the disease’s severity. Some patients may experience nose bleeding as well as gastrointestinal haemorrhage (stomach or intestine bleeding).
