About this document
Dengue Plasma Leak Pathophysiology by M Adil Ali is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the pathophysiology of plasma leak in dengue fever. It begins by stating that a small subset of dengue patients experience increased capillary permeability and plasma leak late in the febrile stage. This acute increase in vascular permeability beyond compensatory mechanisms differentiates dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome from uncomplicated dengue fever. The plasma leak causes fluid loss into tissues, resulting in hemoconcentration, hypovolemia, and potentially shock.
