Comportamiento del Dengue en el embarazo: revisión de la literatura.

Abstract

In Colombia, dengue is an endemic disease that represents a major epidemiological impact. It is a dynamic disease, which can be classified into 3 scenarios: Dengue without warning signs, with warning signs and severe; the latter being the most common scenario in pregnant women. Their behavior and consequences on pregnancy have been poorly studied, and although the mechanism for the association between dengue fever and maternal complications is unclear, some studies report that physiological changes during pregnancy, such as blood concentration and difficulty distinguishing between severe dengue and common obstetric conditions, may hinder the timely diagnosis and management of the disease, deteriorating the condition of patients and causing serious consequences. The objective of this monograph is to make a theoretical documentation that supports the behavior of dengue in pregnancy, through seven chapters in which reference is made to the pathophysiological and clinical characteristics of this infection during pregnancy.
