Treatment of
Dengue Fever (Part 3)
- Avoid invasive procedures when possible
- Unknown if the use of steroids, intravenous immune globulin, or platelet transfusions to shorten the duration or decrease the severity of thrombocytopenia is effective
- Patients in shock may require treatment in an intensive care unit
| Invasive procedures should be avoided whenever possible. There
are no data in the published literature regarding the use of
steroids, intravenous immune globulin, or platelet transfusions
to shorten the duration or decrease the severity of thrombocytopenia.
The effectiveness of these methods has not been proven (or disproved).
Patients in shock require support in an intensive care unit,
with minute-to-minute monitoring. |
