Blood Film for Malarial Parasite

Blood culture
Blood Serology test
Nail clipping for culture (onychomycosis )
Urine Microscopy, urine culture
1. Blood tests :
a) Full blood count :
- Hemoglobin level : to look for hemoglobin level.
- White blood cell count : if raise indicate infection
- Differential count : to indicate whether it is viral
( lymphocytosis ) or bacteria (neurophilia) infection
- Platelet count : to see platelet level, Thrombocytopenia and
haemoconcentration will occur in Dengue
- Peripheral blood film : to look for ant atypical lymphocytes
2. Serological tests :
a) Dengue serology : a rising antibody title will confirm dengue
fever
b) Widal test : if positive indicate typhoidc) Typhidot test : if
positive indicate typhoid
3. Microbiological test :
a) Blood culture and sensitivity : to detect any pathology organism
and resistance of antibody
b) Urine and stool culture : to detect any pathology organism
c) Tissue culture : to detect any virus
9. Final Diagnosis
DENGUE FEVER

8. Discussion
1. Treatment of Patient
2. FLUID MANAGEMENT
Dengue with warning signs All patients with warning signs should
be considered for monitoring in hospitals
Obtain a baseline HCT before fluid therapy
Give crystalloids solution (such as 0.9% saline)
Start with 5 - 7 ml/kg/hour for 1-2 hours, then reduce to 3 - 5
ml/kg/hr for 2 - 4 hours, and
then reduce to 2 - 3 ml/kg/hr or less according to the clinical
response
If the clinical parameters are worsening and HCT is rising,
increase the rate of infusion
Non-shock patient
Encourage adequate oral intake
13
Intravenous fluids are indicated in patients who are vomiting,

unable to
tolerate oral fluids or an increasing HCT despite increasing oral
intake.
Crystalloid is the fluid of choice
Reassess the clinical status, repeat the HCT and review fluid
infusion rates accordingly
a. Medications
i. Paracetamol 500mg
ii. Antibiotics; ciprofloxacin
14
3. Pathophysiology of disease
Mosquito bite
Inoculation of virus and reach to regional lymph nodes
Disseminated to reticuloendothelial system
Activation of reticuloendothelial system
Initial viraemia
Stimulate immune system
Release interferon and immunoglobin
Induce prostaglandin
Elevated temperature set point in

thermoregulatory center in hypothalamus
Heat production and conservation
Dengue fever
15
4. Pathophysiology of signs and symptoms

1. Generalized body aches
Viremia
Viral multiply in macrophages and monocyte
Release interferon, interleukin, prostaglandin
Accumulates and cause generalized body inflammation

2. Headache
Dengue fever
Vasodilation of blood brain vessels
Increase cerebral blood flow
Increase intracranial pressure
Generalized headache
